What's the deal? 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.760 Well, it's not specific today, and there are a lot 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:40.760 of rules about what you can post and reposting any clips. 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:44.280 There's copyrights. You've seen other aggregators of what I'm having 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:47.240 to take stuff down. My understanding that I have not 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:49.760 dug a great deal into this because I do not 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:52.120 do film breakdowns, because no one would want to watch that. 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:56.360 But Meyers standing is you can do it. ESPN's a 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.560 league partner. There might have been specific clips or something 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.720 that some type of a response, but again I don't 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:04.120 know all the insounts of it, but I would not 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:06.800 be surprised if you see some of those things back online. 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:09.520 SOO yeah, I find that so hard to believe. 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:12.520 I mean, he all he does is promote the league 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:16.880 in such a positive way. I mean, he's the most 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:20.280 fair and smartest analyst. I think that's out there, So 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:22.000 what a shame. Hopefully he comes back with that. 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.640 We got Brian Baldinger too, who does bald these breakdowns 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.600 and those have not been disrupted in any way. Again, 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:29.560 there may have been a game of telephone. I don't 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:32.199 know all the details, but I don't believe that there 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:36.200 was a band, certainly not on dan Orlovsky himself. Now 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:39.320 you know again there are all these accounts that will 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:42.280 just take you know, clips, basically steal it or it's 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:44.520 people you know shooting it on their phone and you 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:46.360 get these you know, the glare on the screen and 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:49.320 all those things. That's not anything new. The NFL has 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:51.200 got a pun of rules in place, just like I mean, 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:54.839 you can't technically post you know, long press conference clips. 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:56.840 I think it's like maximum sixty seconds. They can only 0:11:56.880 --> 0:12:00.000 be up for twenty four hours. That's just standard rights 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:04.520 if it's not necessarily always in force. But certainly if 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:07.040 you have anybody who's posting tons of stuff that doesn't 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:09.480 work for a league partner and it's running over the 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.680 ground of what they sell for NFL plus and whatnot, 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:13.679 then the league, like any league, is going to take 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:14.200 action on it. 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.440 All right, let's talk about the Vikes. I was asked 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:22.520 a question the other day. It's a pretty broad general question. 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:24.760 It was just basically, what is the state of the 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:27.720 Vikings as we go into this bye week? And I 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:30.959 just kind of looked at a singular word, and I 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:35.320 just think optimism. For there's optimism around this team just 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.800 because of what they've had to battle through with injuries 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.320 and then the hope that will get a lot of 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:44.000 these guys back after the buye. If I oppose the 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.520 same question to you, what do you think the state 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.920 of the Vikings is right now going to the buy Well, they're. 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.439 In flux, but if you look at the volume of injuries, 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:54.800 they've had to be three and two and have the 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.400 opportunity to get a bunch of guys back and for 0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:01.160 a really tough stretch on their schedule. I have to 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:03.960 say that that's, you know, not a bad position to 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:05.640 be in. I mean, think about some of the other 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.559 teams that have been gutted by injuries early on. I mean, 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:10.640 Miami lost, you know, it's kind of like similar to 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:12.840 the Vikings where they lost the chunk of their offensive line. 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:15.720 In their case, they lost you know, their star wide 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:18.040 receiver for a long period of time, and they've had 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:20.960 some other bumps along the way. They're one and four 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:23.400 and they're trying to scrape their way back into this thing. 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:25.720 You know, teams like the forty nine Ers that are 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:27.480 four and one, the Vikings there are three and two. 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.440 You're sitting there going, okay, like we've kind of we've 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:32.960 gotten through some of the roughest stretches. And the best 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:35.600 news for the Vikings is most of these guys are 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:37.160 going to get back. The forty nine Ers are not 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:39.960 getting nick Osa back. They're not gonna have Brandon Ayuk 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:43.520 until probably mid November somewhere in there. A lot of 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:47.440 these Vikings injuries were shorter term types of things, and 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:49.520 so if you're being an optimist. You're going to say, 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:51.840 you know, all right, Ryan Kelly's not coming back anytime soon. 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:53.760 We know that he's out at least four games or 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:56.720 three more games. That one's going to take a while. 0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:59.400 But you know, the you know, the rookie guards should 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:01.880 be back as soon as this week. Arisa should be 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:04.400 you know, maybe close to, if not all the way 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:06.840 to one hundred percent of the STAPs that he can take. 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:09.679 Brian O'Neil shouldn't be too far behind thereon Jones shouldn't 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:12.600 be too far behind. The biggest questions surrounding the Vikings 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:15.480 is just how they're going to proceed at the quarterback position. 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:18.240 And you know, I've seen a lot of the stuff 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:21.520 that's been said and you know, rumored and speculator. This 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:24.240 is not a soft benji. Okay, with JJ McCarthy, he 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:27.800 has a legit high handkle sprain. You don't put a 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:29.840 guy in a walking boot for a week as like 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:33.840 part of some broad ruse to secretly bench it. However, 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:37.240 JJ McCarthy did not have any reps last year. Okay, 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:39.960 from the first preseason game on tears his beniscus. He's 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:42.880 out for the whole year, misses all those reps. This season, 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:46.000 he has not practiced on consecutive days since before Week one. 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:48.920 So what you don't want to do is set there 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.360 go yep, JJ's back. He's fully healthy. Now we're just 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.000 rolling him out there. They want to see how he 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:55.680 looks through the course of this week doing some individual stuff. 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:58.200 They want to see. I understanding the intention is for 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:00.960 going to be a full participant in practice next week. 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:03.360 You would think that they would be giving him the 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:05.040 first team reps if they feel like he's in a 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.720 position for that, But they also want to be conscientious 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.320 of Hey, if it just looks like the rhythm and 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:14.080 timing and dempo that NFL offenses function on, if that's 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:17.000 not back for him, you know, regardless of the ankle, 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:18.760 which should be pretty close to one hundred percent at 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:20.600 this point, if he just doesn't look like he's you know, 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:22.680 in the rhythm of it again, then it would make 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:25.120 sense to hold him back, particularly when you're about to 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:27.320 go up against one of the best teams, certainly one 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:30.480 of the best defenses in the NFL in Philadelphia here. 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:33.480 So you know, I would exercise patience on this. You know, 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:36.320 there's a reason it's not Kevin O'Connell being you know, 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:38.480 vague about the quarterback situation because he might decide to 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:40.200 roll with Carson Wentz the rest of the way. That's 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:43.120 not the mentality from everything I've been told. It's just about, 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:45.440 you know, Didjy hasn't had a lot of practice time. 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:48.280 Let's make sure that not just is he ready to play, 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:49.960 but that he's in a groove and ready to play. 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:52.960 Well, Hey, Tom, what do you think the long term 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:57.600 and short term answer is with Jordan Addison for the Vikings? 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:02.560 Well, you know, yeah, you had a situation obviously that 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:06.080 arose on the international trip and he dropped off the 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:08.040 map for a bit and didn't show up to a 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:10.600 walk through. They disciplined him by holding him out for 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:12.520 the first quarter. But then you saw down the stretch 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:16.480 of that game how effective Jordan Addison can be. It's 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:19.680 not the first time, obviously that he's run into issues. 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:21.920 He had three game suspension at the start of this year. 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.680 He's had, you know, various things pop up through the 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:28.360 course of his young career. At some point, there's a 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:30.720 maturity aspect to it where he's going to need to, 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:33.200 you know, get himself in a position where they really 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:35.160 feel like they can trust him, you know. If not, 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:38.320 you know, again, this is looking way down the road, 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:40.400 but you're gonna have decisions to make in terms of 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:43.600 signing him to a second contract. Do you potentially trade him, 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:45.520 do you let him walk for a compensatory pick. But 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:47.960 those are not conversations that they're thinking about a whole 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:50.560 lot right now. This is all about making sure Jordan 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:52.680 Adison has all the tools at his disposal and the 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.200 resources to go out there, continue to play well and 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:57.720 do the things that he needs to Here. You know, 0:16:57.760 --> 0:16:59.920 you're paying Justin Jefferson at the top of the market 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:02.120 right now, or you know what was the top of 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:04.040 the market at the time. Who knows on the next 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:06.640 contract or how soon the next contract for Justin Jefferson 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:08.760 might come, what that number is going to be. There 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:11.679 are some teams that have two highly paid receivers. Obviously 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:14.480 Cincinnati does. It sounds like Dallas at least it would 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:17.520 entertain the idea of paying George Pickens, although that may 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:20.000 well include knowing how knowing how the Cowboys operate a 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:23.679 franchise tag in the interim here. But you know, if 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:26.679 you're talking about where the wide receiver market is, and 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:29.080 how good of a player Jordan Andison is. There's no 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:32.000 reason to think. But Calvin Ridley was suspended an entire 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:34.320 year and went out there and got paid in free agency. 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:36.080 There's no reason to think Jordan Aison can't be a 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:38.920 thirty to thirty five by that time, forty million dollars 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:41.600 a year player in free agency. Here, the Vikings have 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:44.199 more information on him than anybody else, and they'll be 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:47.879 able to make their decisions. Really that you know, start coming, 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:50.520 you know, in the not too distant future here as 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:51.960 he becomes eligible for an extension. 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:55.360 Was that sausage ever? Hand up? 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:55.920 No? 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:58.680 I don't think who's in trouble after what are we through? 0:17:58.760 --> 0:17:59.280 Week five? 0:17:59.320 --> 0:17:59.480 Now? 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:02.080 Give me some coaches that really need to start winning quickly. 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:05.480 Well, I don't know that. You know, there's anybody who's 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:08.000 like the imminent. You know they're going to get fired 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:11.199 if they don't win this week. Certainly Tennessee. You know 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:14.400 they got a big win in the wildest fashion possible 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:17.280 last week in Arizona. Sometimes you need a little bit 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:19.439
