1
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: God, God, bless Oh. Somebody told me that there's a

2
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: sack call that's just off the charts. Yeah, did I

3
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: not play it? Did you play it? I thought I did.

4
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: I can find it for you.

5
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 2: Maybe I should too.

6
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: And I miss a lot of good stuff I hear.

7
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: I love Paul. I think he's one of the, if

8
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: not the best, in the business.

9
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 2: Well he's a National Treasures.

10
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 3: But there were moments yesterday I thought I was listening

11
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 3: to the Purples going to the NFC Championship game, well,

12
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 3: or going to THEA.

13
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: It's like a couple of sales guys here at the

14
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: radio station cornered me around.

15
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 2: I haven't heard from him in weeks.

16
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: And then when they their team wins, all of a

17
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 1: suddenly they pop back out again. They pop back out again,

18
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: and that's all good, Matvan. I'm glad you played. Here's

19
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: the sack if you want to hear it. Third and

20
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: section in the Bikings twelve snap GoF pit.

21
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 4: That down it doos jared up Eric Wilson, Welcome home,

22
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 4: my man. The Redford and Michigan native has two sacks

23
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 4: and just buried number sixteen.

24
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: And I jumped.

25
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 2: That startled me. I jumped out of my chair.

26
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: The last play that you played in the montage in

27
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: a game of big plays, was the biggest play of

28
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: the game. And I was just so delighted that O'Connell

29
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: didn't run the ball on third and six. You know,

30
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: let's run the ball again, get him, use a timeout,

31
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: kick it back to him and see what happens. I

32
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: like teams, and there are teams that do that, and

33
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: maybe there are occasions when you should do that, but

34
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: I like when you I tweeted this right after it happened.

35
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 5: To me.

36
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: That's playing to win the game, not to lose it.

37
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 6: Right now.

38
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: Again, they could have run the ball and break it

39
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: for a first down. You go, hey, work right, because

40
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure there have been many times teams have run

41
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 1: the ball on a third and six when they're trying to,

42
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: you know, clinch the game. And if they don't, there

43
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: was what a buck forty four left in the game.

44
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 1: I think the Lion still had at least one time

45
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: out left. I think I don't recall, but they decided

46
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: we're going to win the game right now. I'm going

47
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: to trust he's basically a rookie quarterback. I mean, I

48
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: know he's his second year, but he didn't play it

49
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: all last year. I kind of consider her. And he

50
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: made a terrific throw and they threw to a guy

51
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: that hadn't caught a ball all day. They went to

52
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: speedy Speedy. I think was targeted one other time, maybe twice.

53
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: That was his first catch of the game. I believe

54
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: it is only catching. It was the biggest one of

55
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: the game. It allowed the Vikings to I said. Another

56
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: big play was the block field goal was just huge.

57
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: It's number thirty seven still on the team. But what's

58
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: his name again?

59
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 6: Uh?

60
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: The t Yeah, I can't pronounce his first name and

61
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: I can't. I don't remember that Thomas. Is that his

62
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: last name? I don't remember. Is he still with the team?

63
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: The poor kid. I mean, first, he had the the

64
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: hold on on uh on the ninety nine yard kickoff

65
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: return and that that that brought that back. Then like

66
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 1: two plays later he didn't re establish himself and he

67
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: I guess they called it an unsportsmanlike penalty. I don't.

68
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: I don't understand what that's called in sportsman like. But

69
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: he got called for another penalty, and if either one

70
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: of those penalties would have led to a Lion's victory

71
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: of the kid probably wouldn't be on the team, or

72
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: he've seen that happen before. Two were players just get

73
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: released if they if they make too many blunders or

74
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: they missed too many kicks or whatever. They We've seen

75
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: it with kickers all the time. They're the guys that

76
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: they'll be cruising a log and they'll have one or

77
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: two bad games and suddenly they're out. They just we

78
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: we we we we can't afford this anymore. So yeah,

79
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: that's I mean, that's that's that's that's just we We

80
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: talked about it on Friday tennyby the it's this close

81
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: to a must win had they lost that game, and

82
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: it looked like for a second that maybe they were

83
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: after when go off through the tuddy too? Was it

84
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: Williamson Jameson Williams Williams when he threw the tuddy to

85
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: him and that cut it to three, and then the

86
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: Vikings got the ball and they had that third and six.

87
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: You're thinking, if this isn't incompletion or a sack or

88
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: something like that, the Kidd's going to get that and

89
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: they might steal one. Because the Vikings played their best

90
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: they played their best game of the season.

91
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 2: Without question, I do.

92
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: Where was that for the back? This is why some

93
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: of us thought, you don't give up on the season.

94
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: You know, I teased fans on Twitter about text lines

95
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: open if you want to apologize to the coaching staff

96
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: and to the organization, because there were those that said

97
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: this season is over. I don't care. Let's just play

98
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: McCarthy to see what we have. We need to see

99
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: what we have and you and I said, there's plenty

100
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: of time to see JJ McCarthy. But you have an

101
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: organization is not going to give up on the seats. No,

102
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: you can't, not at that point, not when.

103
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,799
Speaker 3: People were two of people.

104
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: Were saying it's over. And I get it because Wentz

105
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: doesn't give you a lot of you're not really encouraged

106
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: when he's the quarterback. There's a reason he was, he

107
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: said in an NFL record no quarterback in the history

108
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: of the game, And think about the game has been

109
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: going on since the what the late eighteen hundreds or

110
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: early nineteen hundreds, no quarterback I started for six different

111
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: teams and six consecutive years. And there was a reason.

112
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: But he did go to and one before he lost

113
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: the two games, but that was his must and Obviously

114
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: the team felt that way because they they they pulled

115
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: out the captains meeting card on Saturday night, right, they

116
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: had like I think it was, you know, players only

117
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: meeting and each captain's it up and did the old

118
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: win one for the gipper, all for one and one

119
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: for all. We've we've worked too much on our culture

120
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: and this we're a good team and everybody got matter.

121
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: Fat McCarthy said he was ready to play that night.

122
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: Now you can only use that card one time, I think.

123
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: I mean, if you lose to the Ravens, I don't

124
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: think the next week you can go, let's do a

125
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: captain's meeting again and have the captains fir us up again.

126
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: And you know you hate to have to go to

127
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: that card that early in the season. But it worked.

128
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: That was their best game start to.

129
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: Finish, and I think they I don't think the Lions

130
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: saw it coming. The Lions. If you if you saw

131
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: the quotes from the players and even the coach, they

132
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: had the quote highlighted during the game where he was

133
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: doing earlier in the week, Campbell was doing the old

134
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: I would just have to tighten a screw here do that.

135
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 1: You were really close and I watched his news conference

136
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: afterward after His favorite thing to say is, you know,

137
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: we got to tighten things up and we'll do will

138
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: do it well.

139
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 2: He says that all the time and they don't always

140
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 2: do it.

141
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: But uh I the defense and the way the game

142
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: start at tennebye, the Lions just sliced and diced them.

143
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: Laporta carried four Vikings over the over the and I

144
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: was thinking, well, this really is. They are a terrible

145
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: team in a terrible city, with terrible fans, in a

146
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: terrible state. My tweet was that was too easy. I mean,

147
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: they offered no resistance. It looked like the Vikings defense

148
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: was was chairs. You know sometimes you use chairs when

149
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: you're practicing zones and stuff. I mean, the Vikings defense

150
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: was chairs. But then they got a short field, they

151
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: capitalized and scored, They stopped the lines, they scored again,

152
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: and it was pretty much clear sailing from that point

153
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: on until late it got a little dicey, but they

154
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: were able to hang on and win the game.

155
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 2: And now everything's changed.

156
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: Green Bay loses, Detroit loses, Bears win. Vikings are still

157
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: in the last place, but we're only at the halfway

158
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: point of the season. Really not even at the halfway

159
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: I guess we want to come, you know, because seventeen

160
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: game season, it's hard to determine what's half way point.

161
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: But it's they're in a real good spot right now.

162
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: And that's why you don't give up on the season

163
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: when you're two and two or.

164
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 2: Three and two, you just don't.

165
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: You have to.

166
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 2: You have to keep playing.

167
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: There comes a time where you say, realistically, we're done,

168
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: but this's way too early in the season to do

169
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: that unless you're owing seven.

170
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 2: Well, you know, we get that.

171

00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: join us. You know, we're not going to do a

213
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: season isn't over the vikings? You know what season is over?

214
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: Commons golf game, school bikes. Well that's him correct. I

215
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: played thirty six yesterday. I teed off. You know how

216
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: cold it was. I have psychological issues. I need long

217
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: term psychiatric care. The real field when I teed off

218
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: yesterday was twenty nine degrees. You've got to be kidding me.

219
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: Thirty seven, But the wind was blown about almost fifteen

220
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: miles an hour. So I played thirty six yesterday. Yesterday,

221
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: before the game I played, I went I was only

222
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: going to play eighteen. I shot eighty one. I wasn't

223
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: happy with it. I decided I'll play the backside again

224
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: and give myself because there was a couple of people

225
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: out in the front. There were some other crazy people

226
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: out there as well, so I thought, you know, leave

227
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: with a good taste in my mouth, and if hey,

228
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: if it goes well, well, then I'll jump back over

229
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: to the front side. I'm five over on it on eighteen,

230
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: thinking it's over. I'll just finish this hole and go home. Well,

231
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: then I hit a six iron to like three inches

232
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: and I make birdie, so I go oh, and I'm

233
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: four over. I got to play, and I was. I

234
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: was brilliant on the front side, which was my backside,

235
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: and I had to jump around because I played one

236
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: and two and there was a twosome on three and

237
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: a foursome on four. So I went from two to five,

238
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: like five, actually three to five, sous more than four,

239
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: played five, six and seven, went back and played three

240
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: and four and then eight and nine, and then I

241
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: played this morning too, and I.

242
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 2: Trust me, I'm glad we didn't spin.

243
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: The wheel of topic today because I let it get away.

244
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: It was not happy, but I'll be back at it

245
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: again tomorrow, trust me, that's for sure.

246
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 2: And then I like this one from John.

247
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: The mail carrier guy. He goes, why don't you obliterate

248
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: your precious lions like you do the wolves when they

249
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: lose them. That's supposed to well, at least the Lions tried.

250
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: When I obliterate the Wolves when they lose, it's because

251
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: they're not trying. There's a difference. When the Wolves lose

252
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: games and they've given their best effort, we don't obliterate them.

253
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: I obliterate the Wolves when the following day the quotes

254
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 1: in the paper are, well, I guess the other we

255
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: just didn't have enough effort. The other team tried harder

256
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: than us. That's when you obliterate. I don't think it

257
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: was for a lack of trying by the kiddies, And

258
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: I guess I need to always repeat this all the time.

259
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: I don't think people understand you can be fans of

260
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: two teams. I've been a Vikings fan as long as

261
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: I've been a Lions fan. You can light more than

262
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: one team.

263
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 2: The Lions.

264
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: In the time that I've been watching, until the last

265
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: couple of years, they've only had one really good season

266
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: in all my tire fandom of the Lions. That was

267
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 1: in ninety one when they went to the NFC Championship game.

268
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: That was one of the they It was their only

269
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: playoff game they won until recently. In the last couple

270
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: of years, they've won some playoff games when they beat Dallas,

271
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: and I love that they beat America's team in the

272
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: divisional round, and then they lost in the NFC Championship game.

273
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: They weren't that far out of that game against Washington.

274
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 1: All they needed was a touchdown two point conversion, and

275
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: on SI, I'd kick touchdown two point conversion out sage.

276
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: So when the Lions are not playing well, I've always

277
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: been a Vikings fan. I watched all four big games,

278
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: and I was devastated when they lost all four big games.

279
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: I've watched them lose six NFC Championship games and I

280
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: wanted them so badly to beat New Orleans, so badly

281
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: to beat Atlanta, and they lost those games. You can

282
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: be a fan of more than one team and then

283
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: the other thing. And I guess, I guess I have

284
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: to stress this again, Faith Family, Fairways finances. When the

285
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: Vikings do well, the station does well. When the station

286
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: does well, Common does well. When Common does well, he

287
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: and Tennebee get bonuses. So trust me, that win was

288
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: huge for my pocketbook. Mike, did I tell you?

289
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 6: What? Do I tell you?

290
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: Where my checking account is down to?

291
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 6: Right now?

292
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: What's that? Did you keep a secret sure sixty boy.

293
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: So now with the Vikings, I for see there would

294
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: be many listeners that would just say, I'm done, We're

295
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: three and five, terrible team, terrible city, terrible fans, terriblest

296
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: I'll wait till next year, and then they don't listen

297
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: to the fan as often because they're just not as

298
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: dialed into the sports scene. Now I would I can

299
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: guarantee your listenership today is at peak levels, and this

300
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: is good for all of us. The Vikings, the Lions

301
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: were tried. They just I think what they'd is. I

302
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: think they believe the press clippings and the power rankings.

303
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: And they had the bye week and they were starting

304
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: to feel a little bit better. They were starting to

305
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: feel their oaks tent of me is what they were doing.

306
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: And the Vikings came out and finally put together. I've

307
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: been waiting for them.

308
00:14:58,600 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 6: Yeah.

309
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: By the way, A peak of Purple brought to by

323
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: Special meeting on Saturday night, but whatever to get a

324
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: win because they needed a win desperately. And this is

325
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: and I see I was rooting for the Bears yesterday.

326
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: Is that wrong?

327
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 2: I when we talked.

328
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: About this season Tennabee, at the beginning of the season,

329
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: the NFC North, at least on paper, looked like it

330
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: was going to be the best division in Pro football.

331
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: We knew the Vikings Lines and Packers would be battling

332
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: it out for first place, and we figured the Bears

333
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: would be much improved, and they are.

334
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 6: So.

335
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: They did struggle with the Bungals yesterday, but the Bungals

336
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: bungled it. Did you see the winning touchdown? I saw?

337
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 6: Yeah?

338
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: Pretty crazy. Yeah, it was really.

339
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 2: Crazy how the Bears stole one there.

340
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: And Ben Johnson, the old lines coordinator, did a little

341
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: trickeration play where they threw it to Caleb Williams in

342
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: the end zone. But it's now a jam pack leaderboard

343
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: in the North Packers five two and one, Kiddies five

344
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: and three, Bears five and three, Vikings four and four.

345
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: So Vikings aren't last place, but they after yesterday, they

346
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: don't really feel like a last place team. Head coach

364
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: news conference and tennaby. This upcoming game is more important

365
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: to Kevin O'Connell than anyone else.

366
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 2: You know why I do not. I found some trivia

367
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: for you.

368
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: Every time the Vikings play the Ravens, the coach either

369
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: gets fired of the Bikings make the NFC title game.

370
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: Eight Vikings won the NFC title game. OH one they lost,

371
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: the coach was fired. OH five, they lost, the coach

372
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: was fired. In O nine, they won the NFC title

373
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: game or went to the NFC title game.

374
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 5: Uh.

375
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 2: In twenty thirteen, they lost, the coach was fired.

376
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: In twenty seventeen, they went to the NFC title game.

377
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: In twenty one, they lost, and Zimmer was fired.

378
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 2: Think about that.

379
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 6: I was crazy.

380
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 1: What kind of a coincidence is that?

381
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 6: So?

382
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: In other words, if the Vikings win on Sunday at

383
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: home against the Ravens, they're headed to the NFC title Game.

384
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: If they lose, Kevin O'Connell's gonna be without a job.

385
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: But he has been paid very well, and I'm sure

386
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: someone would scoop him up right away as the head

387
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: coach of their club. As we wait for the head coach,

388
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: the young quarterback played pretty well yesterday. Tend to be.

389
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: The stats weren't gaudy. Matter of fact, his second half

390
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 1: was almost like the training wheels were back, only through

391
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: for what seventy five yards in the second half, but

392
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: he made enough big plays, including a couple of tuddies

393
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: and then the throw to Naylor. I still am I

394
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: the announcers on tell I don't know what Pa and

395
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,719
Speaker 1: Bursearchs are saying, but they were going, well, the Vikings

396
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: play it conservative here or do they try to ice

397
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: the game? And as we talked about in the first segment,

398
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: to me, that speaks volumes of you. If you try

399
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: to run it there and you can, you know you

400
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: could run it, catch them off guard, get the first

401
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: down and win the game and all is right with

402
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: the world. But I'm I'm like your odds.

403
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 3: I didn't think it was a tough decision. It was

404
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 3: the easiest to say, even talking about it on television.

405
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: Surprise me.

406
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 3: It's like to me, it's you have no choice but

407
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,239
Speaker 3: to throw the ball. That's what I gotta get a first down.

408
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: And win the game. You can't give Detroit the ball again.

409
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: But there are there. I think there are teams that,

410
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: depending upon the situation, might run the ball. They're going,

411
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: I try rus my defense. If we get it on

412
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: the ground, great, I kick. I'll punt the ball to

413
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 1: when I trust my defense. And if you have a

414
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: really good defense, I guess you would you might opt

415
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 1: for that. But I like the fact that they went

416
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: they went for the juggler and they got it. Another

417
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: thing to it goes to show you what a healthier

418
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: least healthier offensive line will do for a club. They

419
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: had Darrison, he wasn't on a pitch count either. He

420
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: played the whole row, and so did O'Neill. And then

421
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: you had Jackson back at left guard. We have our

422
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: new center, Brandell. Whether he has sweaty buttocks or not,

423
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, but we've not heard that mentioned. And

424
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: then we've got our I can't even recall it, surprise,

425
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: our right guard to our free agent. When you have

426
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: those guys in there, it opens holes for the running game.

427
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: It provides some protection. Now, McCarthy was sacked a few times.

428
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: Was it he was set five times in the game?

429
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: Is that how many they were. I think he got

430
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 1: sacked five times, but inside, I think they were both

431
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 1: sacked five times. I think I think McCarthy macarthy was

432
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: sacked a handful of times. But when you have a

433
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: healthy offensive line, it's it's it's amazing what they can

434
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: the defense. On the other hand, a lot of people

435
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: are sending me text messages that say.

436
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 2: Van Ginkle made a big difference.

437
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he doesn't, but it's it's if Van

438
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: Ginkle makes that much of a difference, then he should

439
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: be the NFC Defensive Player of the Year. He should

440
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: or should win the m v P. He helps certainly.

441
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: I do what we saw there, and this is probably.

442
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 2: Going to annoy Viking fans.

443
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: The Lions offensive line looked like the Vikings offensive line

444
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: when they had all those injuries. They had four guys

445
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 1: leave the game yesterday. They were they were playing backup guy.

446
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: They're playing the skipper character. I mean that that guy

447
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: shouldn't be on an offensive line. He just shouldn't. And

448
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: so when you have a battered offensive line and you

449
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: have an aggressive defense like the Vikings, that's what the

450
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: Vikings went through for all for all those games. That's

451
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: why that's why Wentz got so beat up game after

452
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: a game, That's why he was getting hit like that.

453
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: So McCarthy was having trouble because when your offensive line

454
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: is not healthy and you've got your backups, that's that

455
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: that spells doom. So health just plays such a part

456
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: of it. In the Vikings, their their offensive line was

457
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,479
Speaker 1: as healthy as it's been all year, I believe. I mean,

458
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: I don't remember all. I don't remember having all five

459
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: guys that start the game finished the game, and that

460
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: was I think really important for now.

461
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 3: Obviously Aaron Jones didn't finish the game. No, he did not,

462
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 3: and he looked great when he was in there. He

463
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 3: looked fresh, and I think the fact that his offensive

464
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 3: line was giving him some big holes helps. But they

465
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 3: were already without c. J. Ham, already without Josh Oliver,

466
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 3: and uh, Jordan Mason can't block. I don't know why

467
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 3: he can't, because he's a big strung dude. But you know,

468
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 3: some of those some of those sacks on JJ McCarthy

469
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 3: weren't even on the offensive line, they were on Jordan

470
00:22:56,119 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 3: Mason's inability to block. And that's when you realize how

471
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 3: important is to have a back that can block back there.

472
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: Yes, well you saw what happened. Yeah with Detroit. How

473
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: bad it was with Jamiir Gibbs. I mean they couldn't

474
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: even play him anymore because he just his pass blocking

475
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: was so bad. They neutered the lions or run game,

476
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: which is one of the best in the National Football League.

477
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: They had to start going exclusively with Montgomery because Gibbs

478
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: just couldn't. Gibbs had a good run or two in

479
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 1: that first drive. That first drive. I don't know what

480
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: you thought, but the way the Lions moved down the field,

481
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 1: I thought, this is going to be a long day

482
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: for the Vikings. This was just too easy for Detroit.

483
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 1: But that was the only time the Lions had it

484
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,719
Speaker 1: easy all day. I mean they the the Vikings again,

485
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 1: finally put together a game that I think a lot

486
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: of us were waiting for. I didn't know, and they

487
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: forced some turnovers. Well, it was just wondered they I

488
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: guess the fun block, I guess block, Yeah, the field block,

489
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 1: I guess that's a turnover as well. And that was

490
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: real good.

491
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 3: I but the turnover they had was a huge one

492
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 3: because mc montgomery had the first down there, yes, and

493
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 3: have to turnover in their territory when it was only

494
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 3: a three point game at the time and that turned

495
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 3: to a ten point game.

496
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 2: That is correct, and.

497
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: It was like it was another moment in the game.

498
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 2: Well anyway, you're right, yeah, that was.

499
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: I mean the turnover and the block field go were

500
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: just it's big plays in turnovers. That's what decides football games.

501
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: The Vikings had the one turnover. I've already had someone

502
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: send me a text message say, you know, I know

503
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: you hate these, but boy, the Vikings sure got screwed

504
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: by the officials. That was an interception. Sorry, the Lions

505
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: interception was an interception to me.

506
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 3: It was I thought the Vikings got the favorable calls yesterday. Yes, Jean,

507
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 3: who got screwed?

508
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: I think it was the line, absolutely, yeah, absolutely, even

509
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: though I thought the game was I thought it was

510
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: called fairly well. But I mean that was when they

511
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 1: awarded the Lions the ball on that he clearly had that. Yeah,

512
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: it was it was was that was That's and I know,

513
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: when you're a fan of a certain team, you're always

514
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: thinking your team's getting jobs. It's just it's natural. I

515
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: get that. And but the uh, yeah, it's it's like

516
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: we've been waiting for this kind of performance from the

517
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: Vikings all season long. I also noticed, where did you

518
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: read Sue Han's piece? I did not.

519
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 2: He was ripping you.

520
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: He talked about inane conspiracy theories regarding not playing McCarthy

521
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks.

522
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 2: In other words, I think Sue animals and others think that, no,

523
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 2: it was.

524
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 6: It was.

525
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 2: I still believe.

526
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 1: It was a soft benching with McCarthy. I'm not saying

527
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: he wasn't injured, But when the coach makes statements like, yeah,

528
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: we got to work with him here during this off

529
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: time to get his eyes aligned with his feet again

530
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: and get him more comfortable in the pocket and learning

531
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: from Carson Wentz, that's your You're making an admission that

532
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: the kid was overwhelmed in his first two games. Doesn't

533
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: mean he's a boss and you can't play him ever again.

534
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: But I think they decided to dial it back and say,

535
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: let's dial this back, let's make sure his ankle is

536
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: perfectly It was. It was. Actually it was almost like

537
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: the injury was beneficial to him. You know, you know,

538
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: I know we laugh about that. What was the one

539
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: where the best thing that ever happened to? Who was

540
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: the running back for the best thing inter Rabern mo

541
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 1: Ibram was he snapped as a chiller.

542
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 2: But McCarthy, I think.

543
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: He he did look a little more comfortable there certainly

544
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 1: than he did in that Atlanta game. The Atlanta game,

545
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: he looked he looked completely lost in that game. Here's

546
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: here's Kevin O'Connor.

547
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 7: Just starting out, kind of picking up where we left

548
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 7: off yesterday afternoon, yesterday evening. I just thought it was

549
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 7: a It was the type of performance we needed, you know,

550
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 7: not necessarily perfect by any stretch. A lot of things

551
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 7: we can continue to improve on and do better as

552
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 7: a team, but as far as three phases, finding a

553
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 7: way and you know, a tough road environment to play

554
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 7: complimentary football and find our second win in the division,

555
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 7: both of them being on the road is always a

556
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 7: real positive thing. And kind of how we did it

557
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 7: with from talking about what we thought it would take

558
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 7: to win the game and seeing those things come to

559
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 7: life along the line of scrimmage, you know, you know,

560
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 7: looking at the blocked field goal as a as a

561
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 7: critical critical play in the game that feeds right into

562
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 7: the turnover stat and then I thought, you know, the

563
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 7: return game, even though we had the touchdown called back.

564
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 7: You know, there was still some massive plays to flip

565
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 7: the field give us short fields which we were able

566
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 7: to do something with on offense and then defensively, just

567
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 7: you know, the watching the tape it felt like it

568
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 7: on the field, but watching it back and seeing the

569
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 7: physicality that they played with and some of the core

570
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 7: principles that we've really tried to improve on as the

571
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 7: season has gone on. Ended up with you know, ten TFLs,

572
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 7: just kind of some you know, negative causing plays to

573
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 7: make to make them play and less comfortable downs and

574
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 7: distances I thought was was critical. We've already turned the

575
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 7: page where we've got a huge challenge this week come

576
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 7: to US Bank Stadium. I think Baltimore is one of

577
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 7: the more talented teams in the National Football League. Tremendous

578
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 7: respect for for John and his staff. They're what they

579
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 7: do week in and week out, and obviously, you know,

580
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 7: like I said, very very talented group. But we've got

581
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 7: to try to find a way to carry the momentum

582
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 7: of real work, real tangible improvement of our team that

583
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 7: we saw over a period of time last week and

584
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 7: then and then had come to life to win a

585
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 7: football game. Now we've got to we've reached the point

586
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 7: in the season, you know, we're into November where I

587
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 7: want to see consistency and I want to see some

588
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 7: of those principles continue to be something that are highlighted

589
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 7: by our staff and our players each and every week.

590
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 7: Just before I turn it over to you guys, just

591
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 7: some news on injuries.

592
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 6: Positive news early on on Aaron Jones.

593
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 7: He's he's sore obviously coming out of the game, but

594
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 7: you know, the evaluations have been pretty positive today. We'll

595
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 7: see how he does throughout the week, but expecting him

596
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 7: to be able to kind of hopefully ramp up his

597
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 7: workload and I'll give you guys an update as the

598
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:16,120

600
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,160

Speaker 7: football game. And then just an update on THEO Jackson.

Speaker 7: symptoms and we want to be we want to be

604
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 7: safe there, so he'll go into the cushion concussion protocol

605
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 7: and you know, we'll see how he can progress throughout

606
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 7: the week.

607
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 6: But you know, and then in addition to that, c J.

608
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:46,080

00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 7: this time of you know, opening his window or anything

615
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 7: like that, but want to get him started. He seems

616
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 7: to be uh in a good place and and want

617
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:15,000

623
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,479
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, we only we only had the two up

624
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 7: we had, you know, we had kind of an emergency

625
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 7: plan that would go a couple of different routes. But yeah,

626
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 7: Max is to me, you know, he's on his own

627
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 7: kind of quarterback progression.

628
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 6: But Max is here for a reason.

629
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 7: He made our team because we really see some upside

630
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 7: for Max and he's been able to grow throughout the

631
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 7: season and and I know he prepares, you know, as

632
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 7: if he is one snap away even when he wasn't.

633
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 7: Now he is, so you know, the preparation is real.

634
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 7: And I think the confidence level of the guys just

635
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 7: by what they've seen from Max, both running the scout

636
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 7: team or reps he's gotten with the group throughout the season,

637
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 7: I think the confidence level would be really high in Max.

638
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 6: I know my confidence level would be very, very.

639
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 7: High in Max, knowing he's a young player, you know,

640
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 7: knowing it would be his first real opportunity of you know,

641
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 7: he got in the game obviously late against the Bengals,

642
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 7: but I would have a lot of confidence in Max.

643
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 7: And and certainly I know Max most importantly feels the same.

644
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 5: Way, one of the main keys in your mind to

645
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 5: repeating that success in the running game for the second

646
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 5: half of the season.

647
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's you know, sometimes as you get

648
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 7: further and further away from training camp, I think sometimes

649
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 7: scheme becomes too much of the conversation when the starting

650
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 7: point should always be offensively. You know, there was a

651
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 7: very loud environment, but even with the siling cadence, I

652
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 7: thought we were able to get off of football and.

653
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 6: Get into blocks and.

654
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 7: Get the proper body position and technique and fundamentals, but

655
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 7: there was an element of play style and kind of

656
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 7: physicality that needed to be found, and I thought we

657
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 7: did those things.

658
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 6: They did some things.

659
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 7: They played a lot of base defense to eleven personnel

660
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 7: kind of can limit your run menu at times, but

661
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 7: we found different ways to try to get the ball

662
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 7: in open spaces and when we needed to get it

663
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 7: down downhill, we were able to do that. And I

664
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 7: think the same thing goes for the defensive side. You know,

665
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 7: scheme is something that's very important. You want to obviously

666
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 7: have a good plan to kind of help the guys

667
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 7: be in good positions, but it's still about knockback.

668
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 6: It's still about defeating blocks, set and edges.

669
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 7: And then I thought our tackling there was many many

670
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 7: times when you're watching the tape, you see, you know,

671
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 7: the first defender arrive and then there's three, four or

672
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 7: five purple hats showing up quickly, and kind of vice versa.

673
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 7: On offense, you felt a lot of purple hats finishing

674
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 7: at the football and down the field, and even if

675
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 7: it was a three four five yard game, you just

676
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 7: felt like, you know, there was some playing playing happening

677
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 7: on their side at a line of scrimmage, which I

678
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 7: think is critical against you know what's really one of

679
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 7: the more physical teams in football, and we've got another

680
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 7: one coming to us Bank Stadium this week, so it's

681
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 7: going to be an absolute challenge for our group on

682
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 7: both sides.

683
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 9: I think yesterday was the first time since you become

684
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 9: the head coach that you guys have played with a

685
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 9: lead at Ford Field or not. Yeah, how much does

686
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 9: that change things against that team? And just for you

687
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 9: as a play caller when you're able to play from

688
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 9: in front, even if it's a small market.

689
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, especially you know with it being JJ's third start,

690
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 7: I think it just helped mitigate, you know, some potential

691
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,719
Speaker 7: risk in some areas where it just felt like throughout

692
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 7: the game.

693
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 6: You know what it's always.

694
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 7: Felt like, especially at Ford Field, is when they get

695
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 7: momentum at different times, it normally stacks and kind of

696
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 7: feels like an avalanche at times that unless you make

697
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 7: a significant explosive play or an individual effort play in

698
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,240
Speaker 7: any of the one three phases, you kind of always

699
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 7: feel like you are playing catch up. It's good to

700
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 7: know we actually were in most cases playing catch up.

701
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 7: But I thought the big moment of you know, they

702
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 7: obviously go down the field and score. We're able to

703
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 7: get the return and put the ball in the end

704
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 7: zone for that immediate response, and then you see the

705
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 7: defense go out and get a stop and then we

706
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 7: go score again. And kind of felt like from that

707
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 7: point forward it allowed me to make some decisions regarding

708
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 7: field position. I thought that was a critical part in

709
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 7: the game where maybe you know, in earlier games or

710
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 7: other games previous seasons, you feel like you got you

711
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 7: have to go for some of those fourth and threes

712
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 7: at midfielder. Instead, we were able to execute some sky

713
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 7: punts and get them backed up, and outside of really

714
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 7: one drive there in the second quarter, we really played

715
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 7: with the field position advantage on our side for a

716
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 7: good chunk of that game, and we're able to get

717
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 7: stops you know then at least drive and get points

718
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 7: when we needed to.

719
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 6: Would have loved to punch it.

720
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 7: In there at the end, but it was important to

721
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 7: make sure we've made that at worst a ten point

722
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 7: game in that moment. So I think it all plays

723
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 7: into it, Ben, and I think it's a great point.

724
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 7: And you know, how you have to play against really

725
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 7: good football teams is you have to try to continue

726
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 7: to kind of progress onward and it's easier to do

727
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 7: that where you're not having to chase anything. And then

728
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 7: I just thought there were some timely plays we got into,

729
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 7: some second and longs, whether it was the Jordan Addison

730
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:37,439
Speaker 7: jet sweep, the what I now know was a rush

731
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 7: for Aaron Jones on the swing the swing pass got

732
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 7: ruled a rushing attempt, but just little plays like that

733
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 7: where I thought, you know, you know, not super high

734
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 7: level football of needing to hold it in the pocket

735
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,760
Speaker 7: to get yards back and possibly risk more negative football,

736
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 7: but just really good execution on some things that we

737
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 7: got to kind of flip the D and D s

738
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:00,720
Speaker 7: right back in our favor.

739
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 6: What are you feeling it needed all.

740
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 5: To add to the quarterback round here this week? Group

741
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 5: trade deadline or you feeling pretty said at that spot?

742
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think with with with bringing John in, you know,

743
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 7: it was it was something where we wanted to make

744
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 7: sure we had a third guy in the room, a

745
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,240
Speaker 7: guy I know very well. He immediately picked up picked

746
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 7: up right where I remember being with John. Super smart,

747
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 7: has a pretty high level of quickness and athleticism, quick twitch,

748
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 7: you know, uh for a release and kind of a

749
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 7: tight you know, window thrower kind of guy that can

750
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 7: you know, activate a lot of different throw types. And

751
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 7: he's got experience, you know, understanding kind of how our

752
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 7: past offense works and and and how we want to operate.

753
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 7: So as as he said, he's you know, he's the

754
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 7: old man in the room now, and uh, I think

755
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 7: that's important for two young guys that are incredibly close

756
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 7: Jj and Max and they're always working together, but to

757
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 7: have that third guy in there with Josh and Jordan,

758
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 7: you know, I feel pretty comfortable comfortable with that room

759
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 7: right now. You would love to find a way at

760
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 7: some point maybe to get you know, John up on

761
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 7: the roster to take advantage of the the emergency quarterback

762
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 7: on game day. It's obviously, you know, something that's difficult

763
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 7: when that that player is on your practice squad and

764
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 7: you you know, you don't get the advantage of the

765
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 7: forty ninth spot on game day. So that that's obviously

766
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 7: something we're always trying to work through. But as we've

767
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,720
Speaker 7: been able to get a little bit more healthy around

768
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 7: the rest of our football team, it might be easier

769
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 7: said than done in the short term, but something will

770
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 7: be taking a look at.

771
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 6: For sure.

772
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 5: Kevin get team balls to Javon Harvey Jonathan Allen Just

773
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 5: how were the contributions that they made.

774
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think, you know, those two guys just the

775
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 7: feeling that you got, you know when they were you know,

776
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:57,439
Speaker 7: I thought, making early down contributions with physicality and knock

777
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 7: back and just you felt them. And then they were

778
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 7: as far as getting Jared off the spot even when

779
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 7: they were able to have a hat on a hat

780
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 7: and they were trying to get the ball downfield or

781
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 7: they were trying to get some of those explosive plays

782
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 7: that they've kind of made very much, you know, their

783
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 7: calling card over the years. Those guys were able to

784
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 7: kind of have disruption that I think was felt for

785
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 7: four quarters. I think Jalen Redman also played another really

786
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 7: good football game. He was playing a little defensive end

787
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 7: in some of those groupings with Van Ginkel that made

788
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,879
Speaker 7: it pretty difficult to run to that side, to those

789
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 7: strong side kind of runs. And then you know, Jonathan

790
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 7: Garnard I thought was disruptive. Again, He's so close on

791
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,879
Speaker 7: a couple of those plays, you know, specifically the one

792
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 7: that they got Jared got out of that Houdini like

793
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 7: and got the ball thrown to Montgomery then breaks the

794
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:47,760
Speaker 7: tackle and what ended up being a significant play early

795
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 7: on there for them to find a way to score

796
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 7: you know, could have very easily been a sack. And

797
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 7: we're taking advantage of, you know, momentum on that drive.

798
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 7: So a lot of names. Obviously the two linebackers were

799
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 7: signific and I thought Gink being back just provide such

800
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 7: an unbelievable presence in their football IQ communication. Pair that

801
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 7: with what Harry and Mattelis do on the back end

802
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 7: at the safety spot, it felt good to have that

803
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:15,280
Speaker 7: group back together.

804
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 9: You were putting the pressure package together. Did you guys

805
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,720
Speaker 9: think at all about the benefit of keeping Jamier Gibbs

806
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 9: and pass protection and making it so you can't get

807
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 9: out and or choose a receiver.

808
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 7: Especially, you would much prefer him blocking than being a

809
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 7: major weapon in the past game. And they can still

810
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 7: find ways to do that pre release him, use other

811
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 7: players tight ends or being two back you know, possibly formation.

812
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 7: So although you want to try to keep him in

813
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 7: there as best you can, and he's still a very

814
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 7: solid pass protector, very willing and able and historically has

815
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 7: done a pretty good job at that, we did want

816
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 7: to try to limit his ability in the past game

817
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 7: to impact the game, because he is as impactful as

818
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 7: any running back in the National Football League when he

819
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,399
Speaker 7: gets the ball in his hands in space. Taking away

820
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,399
Speaker 7: some of those plays did seem to kind of help us.

821
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 7: Then obviously worry about you know, the weapons they have

822
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 7: at the receiver position in Laporta is as dynamic as

823
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 7: it gets, so it all works together. And I just

824
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 7: thought flow and the play and the staff had and

825
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 7: then the way the players made it come to life

826
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:18,800
Speaker 7: was was really good stuff.

827
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 1: How do you persent your defense and practice the Lamar

828
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: Jackson look?

829
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 6: Do you just have Max, dude, or do you use

830
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,399
Speaker 6: other players? I'm actually gonna do it this week. Yeah.

831
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 7: No, I'm gonna lace them up and figured that'll give

832
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 7: them the best best look at the athleticism.

833
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 6: That Lamar has.

834
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 7: No we we've I'm sure we'll have. I think it's important,

835
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,320
Speaker 7: you know, it might be a bunch of different players.

836
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 7: You know, from a standpoint, I think how Max and

837
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:50,439
Speaker 7: John take those reps at the quarterback position where even

838
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 7: if you know JG wins on a rush and tags

839
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,839
Speaker 7: them off, or you know, Hardgrave wins up the middle

840
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 7: and tags them off. Like we're gonna have those plays.

841
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 7: Finish every single play, know to the long past any

842
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 7: whistle that I would blow, just to make sure the

843
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 7: guys on the back end are you know, plastern and

844
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 7: coverage and understanding that some of the some of the

845
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 7: big plays that they make, you know.

846
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 6: It's not how they were drawn up.

847
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 7: And and but then you know what I think Lamar

848
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 7: has has, you know, done at such a high level

849
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 7: to become one of the best at the position in

850
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 7: the NFL is make the throws in rhythm, accurately and

851
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 7: and uh, you know, finding finding the open guys, knowing

852
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 7: exactly where he needs to have his feet and eyes

853
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 7: set and being accurate. I think he's there's a reason

854
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 7: why he's an MVP caliber player, one of the best

855
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 7: at the.

856
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:36,399
Speaker 6: Position in the league.

857
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 7: It's not just the skill set to cause so many problems. Athletically,

858
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 7: he's an elite thrower of the football and and and

859
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,399
Speaker 7: he's really processing. So you've got to play total team,

860
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 7: complete defense, discipline. The rush plan needs to be absolutely ironclad,

861
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 7: and and we've got to still find a way to

862
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 7: get that early down, knock back and defend the run

863
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 7: with Derrick Henry and all the things that they present

864
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 7: that way.

865
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 6: So I think it's gonna be a lot of guys.

866
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,839
Speaker 7: It might be some other players, not quarterbacks, you know,

867
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 7: going in there. I don't know that yet. I just

868
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,359
Speaker 7: know it won't be me. No, it's you know, it's

869
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 7: probably something that you know. I don't know if it does.

870
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:15,879
Speaker 7: It definitely doesn't need to be a secret because when

871
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 7: Baltimore rolls into town, it's not a secret about who's

872
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 7: playing quarterback for him and what he's capable of doing,

873
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 7: not being.

874
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 5: Un presented in practice. I mean, his record against the

875
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 5: NFC is obviously big, and they did lose to Detroit,

876
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 5: but overall it's way up there.

877
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 6: Does that have anything? These guys see him all the time,

878
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 6: you know on TV?

879
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 8: Is it just it's different to see what what you

880
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 8: see on TV and actually playing against it.

881
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:39,760
Speaker 6: I think it is. I think it's different.

882
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,399
Speaker 7: I think you know, it's it's it's it's really kind

883
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 7: of along the lines, albeit totally different. But like how

884
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 7: teams that can be phenomenal in college football and then

885
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 7: they play against a triple option team and you just

886
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 7: don't see it a whole lot With us, we have

887
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 7: seen some whether it's Jalen Hurts or even justin Herbert

888
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:01,240
Speaker 7: and you know the movement that that impacted the game,

889
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 7: either extending plays when the rush plan was good and

890
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 7: it just didn't get home, or you know, when we

891
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 7: let some of those players out and either forward to

892
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 7: use their legs or extending plays on the perimeter.

893
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 6: So it's definitely something we've talked about.

894
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 7: We're gonna have to be as good as we've been

895
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 7: all season against this challenge, for sure.

896
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: Mark JJ said yesterday that he was happy with his performance,

897
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: but not proud of the body of work.

898
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 9: Just like, how have you seen him self evaluate post game?

899
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean he's hard on himself.

900
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 7: He's hard on himself, and I think what we saw

901
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 7: yesterday there was some really really good examples of some

902
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 7: of the things we've been working on.

903
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:45,359
Speaker 6: You know, when I think back to.

904
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 7: You know, the throw to Jordan Addison for about seventeen

905
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 7: on the left side, do about the ten yard line,

906
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 7: I mean, his the calmness to his lower body, the base,

907
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 7: the balance to that drop and how fortless it seemed

908
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 7: was something we've been really working on. And then he

909
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 7: had some other reps. I thought the rep in the

910
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 7: play pass came where he got moved to his left

911
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 7: and through a field shake route to Justin I mean

912
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 7: up and over defender with touch. I even loved the

913
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 7: throat Aaron Jones on the on the swing route, I

914
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 7: mean up and over, you know, spinning pure and just

915
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 7: it felt like to me, we saw some real progression

916
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 7: from some of the things that we'd been really working

917
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 7: on for a little bit of time. And then I

918
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 7: think the importance of him being one hundred percent healthy

919
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 7: for the touchdown run on third and nine. There's not

920
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 7: very many folks in the league that are out running

921
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 7: Angeloni to the corner there getting around him to score.

922
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 7: You know, some of the other plays he was able

923
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 7: to make right even when either in the noise, you know,

924
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 7: we went the wrong way, you know at the running

925
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 7: back spot, or there were some plays that could have

926
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 7: been catastrophically bad where you just kind of felt his

927
00:44:56,360 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 7: full burst of his athleticism helped not only him protect himself,

928
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 7: but help the team continue to press progress forward. Now,

929
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 7: there's still times where it feels like if we can

930
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 7: just simply not overanalyze possibly like possibly what might be

931
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 7: out there for him and skip progressions, just take Justin

932
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 7: on the out route early in the down or you know,

933
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 7: just put the ball in play. I thought, you know,

934
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 7: his first play pass attempt of the day, he checked

935
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 7: the ball down to Aaron Jones on first down, and

936
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,399
Speaker 7: it's a positive play even if you can go back

937
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 7: and hold the clicker and say, well, if you hang

Speaker 7: I just thought, you know, there were some real elements

941
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 7: of quarterback play and then in the moments where maybe

942
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:39,839
Speaker 7: it got loose or we can tighten things up. That's

943
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 7: what we're here for, and that's all part of, you know,

00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 7: An uncommon or an accidental circumstance for his best rep

948
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 7: of the day one of to be that final throw

Speaker 7: bit from a year ago in game Number one, made

955

961
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 7: gauging what possibilities may be out there. If there's a

962
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 7: way to improve our team, obviously that's something we're going.
