I actually tried to call 35 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 4: in last week and I was at the game, and 36 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 4: there was five words that came to mind. It was 37 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 4: the Vikings are gutless and high leverage situations. Tonight, paradoxically, 38 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 4: the only person who wasn't gutless was Carson Wentz. He 39 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 4: was hanging in there and I just have no idea 40 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 4: why KOC did not take him out of a game 41 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 4: and put Brozmer in a lot to talk about very 42 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 4: tough game. I'll hang up and listen. 43 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I appreciate it right off the bat, and we 44 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 3: will continue to sprinkle this in. 45 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 2: But I just want to I want to jump into 46 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 2: more phone calls. 47 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 3: For me when he's holding his arm like it's about 48 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 3: to fall off. After the second time the Vikings passed 49 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 3: in third and short instead of trying to run the ball. 50 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 2: That was for me the moment. 51 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 3: Where I wanted to see mister Brosmoor Craig and Orno 52 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 3: Craig welcome to Vikings fan line. 53 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, hey, thank you.

I don't think he's the best person to 57 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 5: make personal decisions when it comes to the quarterback. As 58 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 5: a golfer season ticket holder, I've seen Max Brosmer do 59 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 5: really good things for the golfers that last season.

But he 134 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 6: you know, you know, Tyler was coming to me a 135 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 6: lot tonight, but every time he seemed to update me 136 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 6: on that, you know, Carson was uh, you know, he. 137 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 7: Was sore going into it, and he was able. 138 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 6: He took obviously quite a few hits and and uh, 139 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 6: but he was able to. You know, I asked him 140 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,559 Speaker 6: multiple times, you know, where he was at, and he 141 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 6: he he said he was good and wanted to keep going. 142 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 6: I know it did seem like he was, you know, 143 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 6: in pain there a couple of times. 144 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 2: A few times. 145 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 6: Max and yeah, we did. I think, you know what 146 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 6: you have to you know, Carson's a veteran player. He 147 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 6: understands kind of some of our circumstances tonight. I think 148 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 6: it's very difficult to ask uh, you know, a rookie, 149 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 6: uh to go in there for his first performance and 150 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 6: you know, have to be kind of weathering it, you know, 151 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 6: a little bit for the group. 152 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 7: I did. 153 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 6: You know, I did think about that at different times 154 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 6: in the game. But at the same time, you know, 155 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 6: the confidence we have in Max and the upside we 156 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 6: see in Max is real. We just you know, you 157 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 6: also don't want to send him out there and force 158 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 6: a level of kind of figured out this that's probably 159 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 6: beyond a guy playing for the first time. And that 160 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 6: was kind of where the decision was to to continue 161 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 6: to go with Carson as long as you know, Carson 162 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 6: felt like he was healthy enough to keep playing, and 163 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 6: the medical team did as. 164 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 10: Well, how will you approach that position here in the 165 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 10: next week or so? 166 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think, you know, as we talked about earlier 167 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 6: in the week, we you know, we worked out JJ 168 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 6: and he was close and JJ and the medical staff 169 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 6: kind of didn't quite feel like he was he was 170 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 6: there yet, but there was a lot of encouragement that, 171 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 6: especially with the time we have Kevin and and where 172 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 6: he's at and the confidence level he thinks he can 173 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 6: get to.

As 185 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 7: far as what our overall quarterback depth looks like. But 186 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 7: we will prepare. 187 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 6: We'll prepare our team, you know, at every position, based 188 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 6: upon what our health looks like.

He may have 238 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 3: literally died on the field. I mean that's hyperbole. Obviously 239 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 3: worried about or putting the rookie in a tough spot, 240 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,199 Speaker 3: weathering it for everyone. I mean, you got to take 241 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 3: the gloves off and put the kid in. And I 242 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 3: noted that second time that it was at the forty 243 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 3: seven yard line, third and two. 244 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 2: They don't run it, pass it. It's a disaster. 245 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 3: The ball's batted up in the air and Carson can't 246 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 3: move his left arm to bat the ball down, and 247 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 3: then he's absolutely I mean in just agony walking himself 248 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 3: off the field. I needed to see brozmer after that. 249 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 3: Your thoughts, Yeah, I thought so too. 250 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 15: I mean, at what point are you going to just 251 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 15: get Carson Wentz absolutely killed? Because now again you got 252 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 15: what ten days is jaj McCarthy gonna be ready to go? 253 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 15: As I know is when Justin Jefferson came charging at him, 254 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 15: he jumped and moved pretty quick, and he walked back 255 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 15: to the walk back to the front of that white 256 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 15: line to give the first down signal. Pretty good because 257 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 15: I heard some people say, like, oh, he was limping 258 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 15: when he walks. I didn't see any of that. Now, 259 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 15: you don't jump up an air and that quick if 260 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 15: you if you're limping when you walk. 261 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 2: He was ready to go, you know, he was ready 262 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 2: to go. 263 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 15: So I get it, like we don't know the true answer, 264 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 15: and maybe the pain tolerance isn't there maybe in practice 265 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 15: when he's you know, he just said he's not ready 266 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,199 Speaker 15: to go. But at one, at some point, you should 267 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 15: have just put Max Brosmour in that game kind of 268 00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 15: was just done. 269 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:01,199 Speaker 2: See what you have. 270 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 15: And I don't understand why you kept the three timeouts 271 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 15: at the end of the game, like you have three timeouts. 272 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 15: Max Brozmer actually was doing something. I get they were 273 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 15: in a prevent coverage. 274 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 3: I needed to be let them try to score, let 275 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 3: Max get his get let's get his stuff. I well, 276 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 3: I needed to I need to have him, let him 277 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 3: get his stuff off for the entire second half. True, 278 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 3: it needed to be over, sure, and it was not over. 279 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 3: And I just don't like that excuse weathering it for everyone. 280 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 3: Carson's been weathering it for everybody. And and whether it 281 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 3: was the pass he sailed for the interception, the accuracy 282 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 3: for a guy that was never that accurate to begin with. 283 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 3: Has has just been on this steep, precipitous decline, and 284 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 3: it was brutal to watch at times. And so the 285 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 3: warrior that he is, the respect I have for Carson 286 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 3: as a guy, we needed that to end. 287 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, that interception was bad. 288 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 15: Oh that was just I mean justin Jefferson's face alone 289 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 15: as he watched it go over his head, It's just like, wait, 290 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 15: did you really just throw it there? 291 00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 2: Yeah?

Yes, 346 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 15: like it should have been. That's what I thought was 347 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 15: gonna happen. And for some reason that I don't know why, 348 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 15: they wanted to have a gritty performance. I guess it's 349 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 15: the last performance maybe to say, hey, he did everything. 350 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 15: He could do for us this year. No, let Max 351 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 15: Brozmer go in when it's a chance to still win 352 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 15: the game. 353 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 2: Talkback machine, stand. 354 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 18: Why O'Connell stuck with wins as long as he did. 355 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 18: If I have three vehicles in mind driveway and two 356 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 18: of them are misfiring and the other vehicle has no 357 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:08,239 Speaker 18: issues whatsoever, I can't blame anybody but myself. If I 358 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 18: stand if I'm stranded on the side of the road 359 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 18: by taking the other two vehicles out, I actually. 360 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 2: Like that analogy. Thank you for the talkbacks. Let me see. 361 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 8: Here, Steve from Caask, I was just wondering if chask 362 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 8: is ever in the history of the NFL been a 363 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 8: team that went fifteen and two and purposely downgraded at quarterback. 364 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 7: What the hell? 365 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 2: What do you Steve? 366 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 3: This is probably not what the team had envisioned when 367 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 3: they were building this up to the moment of getting 368 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 3: of getting mister McCarthy on the field. 369 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 2: Let me see here, got any more good talkbacks? I 370 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 2: will get back to the talkbacks of course. 371 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 3: Full phone lines. We'll go to Shane and Sioux Falls. Shane, 372 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 3: Welcome to Vikings fan line. 373 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 17: Hey Nordo, how's my brisket smoking? Beirdrik and Buddy oh Man. 374 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,640 Speaker 2: I need to cook something up to wash this thing away. Brother, 375 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 2: What do you got? 376 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 17: I could go with the low hanging food with everything else, 377 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:17,239 Speaker 17: but I'm gonna go big picture. Mark Wolf needs to 378 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 17: take a long, hard look at how his coaching staff 379 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 17: coaches and how his front office handles roster construction. There 380 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,360 Speaker 17: this this doesn't work, you know, the way they're they're good, 381 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 17: they're going about this, and we got no depth. And 382 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 17: there's that whole thing. And I'm not going to get 383 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 17: into Quacy's drafts because I know you're sick of that, 384 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:51,400 Speaker 17: you know, But koc tonight set the tone. Third and one, 385 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 17: first draft of the game. Run Jordan Mason off the middle, 386 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 17: get the first down, but he puts Carson on a 387 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 17: bootleg and he's running for his life and throws the 388 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 17: ball away, you know. And the coaching staff there, I mean, 389 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 17: I feel bad for Bflow because he's trying to make 390 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 17: chicken salad out of chicken poob, you know, because he's 391 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 17: given six new starters every year. But on offense too, 392 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 17: you just see mc Chargers give up one hundred and 393 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 17: twenty five yards a game on the ground. The Vikings 394 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 17: through the first thirty five minutes of the game Tonight 395 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 17: rushed five times for ten yards. And I know you've 396 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 17: got injuries, but you're a professional coaching staff, and you 397 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 17: got fifty three professional football players. You can coach these 398 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 17: guys up now. Commit penalties, play good, hard football, and 399 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:56,199 Speaker 17: be respectable on the field. Jim Harbaugh did that tonight. 400 00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 17: His team is ravaged by injuries, and he showed tonight 401 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 17: maybe to the Wills mirror, maybe they should I heard 402 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 17: Jim Harball instead of Kevin O'Connell. But it comes down 403 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 17: to coaching to a degree as well. And this team 404 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 17: is now well coach right now. Too many dumb mistakes. 405 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 17: They don't ask you, well, there's something going on. I'll 406 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 17: let you go, Nordle. I appreciate your time, Love you too, Ron, 407 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 17: appreciate you. 408 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 2: No, I appreciate I appreciate you calling in. 409 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 7: Uh. 410 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 19: Yeah. 411 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 3: They were outclassed and out coached at every every step 412 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 3: of the way. 413 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 2: There there's no disagreement there. 414 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 3: And the season long vibe Ron, you know, undisciplined from 415 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 3: a penalty standpoint, and you know the injuries play into 416 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 3: that cohesion, continuity, et cetera. 417 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 2: Whatever word you want to use. That in the end. 418 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 2: Uh this this team is not standing up to the challenge. No, 419 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 2: and it's not getting easier. 420 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 15: You got Baltimore, you got Detroit, Like it's I mean, 421 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 15: Baltimore is not looking great right now. I mean, Oamar 422 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 15: Jackson is back this week, so we'll see what they 423 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 15: look like now. I think they play the Bears, so 424 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 15: you'll see how the Bears handle this. With Lamar's first return, 425 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 15: and now you got him and Derek Henry back there. 426 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 15: The Ravens defense hasn't been great, but you got the Lions, 427 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 15: and the Lions look like I mean, they look like 428 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 15: world beaters right now. And so it's just like, how 429 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 15: do you bounce back three and four? I mean, they're 430 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 15: gonna be three and five. That's the scary thing is 431 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 15: And at what point do you say, all right, let's 432 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 15: just put Max Brosemur in. Like if JJ McCarthy can't go, 433 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 15: Carson Wentz is gonna. 434 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 2: Give you this now. 435 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 15: One tweeter tweeted us because he says, we keep talking 436 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 15: about the quarterback. They didn't give up a four hundred 437 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 15: and nineteen yards of offense or sorry, yeah, of offense 438 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 15: to the Chargers, So like, how much do we put 439 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 15: on the defense. 440 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 2: You know, how much do we. 441 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 15: Put on Carson or what's his name, Herbert having sixty 442 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 15: two yards rushing? You know, the same defensive blitz and 443 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 15: the same gap in the middle of the field open, 444 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 15: and the same lack of a spy to keep Carson 445 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 15: Wentz in the pocket. 446 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 2: Yep, No, the defense requires a ton of counts. 447 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 15: Like you know, you look at the blown coverages, you 448 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 15: look at the wide open receivers. I mean, we know 449 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 15: lab mcconcky and Keenan McCardell are good, but even the 450 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 15: tight end, you know, gads get or Gads did like 451 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 15: out of nowhere. 452 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 2: I mean, he did have a great game last week too, but. 453 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 15: At some point you have to figure out how to 454 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,679 Speaker 15: guard him, like you have to maybe start treating him. 455 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 15: I'm not saying this, but like you should have treated 456 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 15: him like one of the top tight ends on the field, 457 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 15: Like you got to treat him like that. Yeah, And 458 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 15: it just felt like the game plan. I don't know 459 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 15: what it was, but it wasn't good. No, and Carson 460 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,439 Speaker 15: or not Carson Wentz, but justin Herbert, they made him 461 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 15: look like freaking I don't know, Aaron Rodgers or Lamar 462 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 15: Jackson when he runs about like it just like Aaron 463 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 15: Rodgers back in what twenty fourteen fifteen, Like he was 464 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:38,640 Speaker 15: just running everywhere. 465 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, and they couldn't tackle him like it was as bad. 466 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 3: It was Dan and West Saint Paul, Dan, Welcome to 467 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 3: Vikings fan line. 468 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 20: Hey, how's it going? 469 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 2: Wonderful? Thank you? What do you got? 470 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 20: Well, I'm wondering why would you even consider putting McCarthy 471 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 20: in until you get that offensive line short up? Because, 472 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 20: like Ron was saying, Wentz was just pancaked on the 473 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 20: floor all night, You're just looking at McCarthy getting another 474 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 20: injury and yeah, I'm just like, why would you even 475 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 20: consider that until they get that line short of? 476 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I get you. I appreciate the call. I don't 477 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 3: know where you're at around it's because he has to play 478 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 3: correct what he has to and not then you need 479 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,360 Speaker 3: to go sign Daniel Jones when the season ends. 480 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 2: And I would ask. 481 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,919 Speaker 3: I would also argue whether it's injury or whatever the 482 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 3: situation is, you know, from a combination of health and 483 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 3: then in some cases ineptitude. The offense was way off 484 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 3: from a timing standpoint for most of the game. Yeah, 485 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 3: if he walked himself into some of those sacks. It 486 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 3: wasn't just our offensive line is so terrible. It's it's 487 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 3: it's giving him no time whatsoever to make a play. 488 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 3: There are elements of this that that Carson has to own, 489 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 3: I think as well. 490 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 15: But fourth down, fourth and goal, why are you taking 491 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 15: this its fourth and goal? Just throw it to somebody. Yeah, 492 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 15: I get the whole Like, well, if he takes a 493 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 15: sack right there, then they have to drive ninety yards 494 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 15: to score. If he throws interception end zone, it goes 495 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 15: to the twenty.

I mean, he had a hand in 517 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 21: every play. It looked like he was the only one 518 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 21: that wanted to be out there. And then one other 519 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 21: thing is I want to talk about Adam deeln trade. 520 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 21: I'm kind of curious why we made it. Traded for 521 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 21: a fourth round pick, for a guy that gets no targets, 522 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 21: and for someone that doesn't want to be here, and 523 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 21: for his wife to be such a paint. 524 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 2: What happened?

I don't think I think Adam Felan wants 528 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 3: to be here. I think Adam Feelan wants more targets. 529 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 3: I think the offense is a complete disaster.

What do you think of that? 642 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,719 Speaker 3: Rod A little so ko, a sacrificial lamb that is 643 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 3: Carson Wentz. He's not putting in Brosemur, which I think 644 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 3: we all agree we needed to see bros murr the 645 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 3: Carson bit sadly love Carson, You're a warrior. It had 646 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 3: to end and it did not, and that I have 647 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 3: a problem with that.

I mean, you can 821 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 3: use that offensive line argument either way. 822 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 2: And there was another thing during. 823 00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,759 Speaker 3: His press conference that I wanted to hit into. He 824 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,319 Speaker 3: was asked about the run he said he didn't want 825 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:42,400 Speaker 3: to walk us into a third and long. Well, you 826 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,040 Speaker 3: had a third and one, you had a third and two, 827 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:48,320 Speaker 3: and you didn't run the ball, So you had those chances. 828 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 3: You didn't run it there either, So she didn't run 829 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,239 Speaker 3: it out of worried to be third and long, and 830 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 3: then when you had the third and shorts, he didn't 831 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,960 Speaker 3: run it either. I'm having a hard time with Iran 832 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,280 Speaker 3: the run plays and that run rhythm. 833 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,960 Speaker 2: Is this has to be better, I believe. Yeah. 834 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,080 Speaker 15: And the thing is, though, we saw a couple of 835 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 15: things you hit on when you look at third and 836 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 15: three to one, right, so third three to one? Yeah, 837 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 15: the Minnesota Vikings, they're way too like twelve passes to 838 00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,960 Speaker 15: ten runs. You shouldn't be there, right, it's two balanced. 839 00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:25,759 Speaker 15: There's no reason to be balanced on third and one. 840 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,239 Speaker 15: You look at the Philadelphia Eagles. We already know the 841 00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:32,600 Speaker 15: answer there, like go get the first down. You know 842 00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:34,640 Speaker 15: the LA Chargers. Guess what they do on third and 843 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,960 Speaker 15: one to three? They run the ball. Twenty one times. 844 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,239 Speaker 15: They run the ball. And they're not even known for 845 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:42,320 Speaker 15: running the ball. 846 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,239 Speaker 3: How about this, they were they had twenty nine first 847 00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,880 Speaker 3: downs tonight. Yeah, they only had to get nine of 848 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,800 Speaker 3: them on third down. I mean they got twenty first 849 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:52,680 Speaker 3: downs tonight on first and second down. 850 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:53,480 Speaker 2: Yeah. 851 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 3: But when they get there, they'll run the ball, is 852 00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,719 Speaker 3: what they'll do. They were nine to thirteen on third 853 00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 3: down tonight. Run the ball, they certainly do. And you 854 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 3: know they're actually at it. They're running at a lower 855 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 3: rate in twenty twenty five than they were even a 856 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:14,120 Speaker 3: year ago, and bringing in Jordan Mason, and you know, 857 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 3: kind of excited about, you know, keeping what this tandem 858 00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 3: would look like with with Aaron Jones. It has not 859 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,360 Speaker 3: come to fruition through seven games. Let's pause and continue 860 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,759 Speaker 3: on it's Vikings fan line. Vikings lose thirty seven to 861 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:28,680 Speaker 3: ten at so far. And the home team, the Los 862 00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,719 Speaker 3: Angeles Chargers, who I believe had lost three of four 863 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:33,879 Speaker 3: and they had given up one hundred and forty yards 864 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,080 Speaker 3: on the ground a game, and they were really gripping 865 00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,279 Speaker 3: and couldn't figure out who was going to run the 866 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,920 Speaker 3: ball for him. I'm making Vidal Sassoon stupid, stupid jokes 867 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:42,520 Speaker 3: all week. 868 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:46,640 Speaker 2: Well, Vidal got loose. What was I supposed to do? 869 00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:46,879 Speaker 26: Ron? 870 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:51,000 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, but Vidal was fantastic tonight because Harbaugh, what 871 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:51,440 Speaker 3: did he do? 872 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,960 Speaker 2: He committed to the Rocks. Sassoon, he was still a thing. 873 00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 3: I don't think it is super outdated. 874 00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 2: Caln, Yeah for Kalgan take me away, all right? 875 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,520 Speaker 3: So see this is this is where we're at. The 876 00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:05,359 Speaker 3: teams three and four and uh, we're very frustrated. Four 877 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,600 Speaker 3: hundred yards of offense those chargers. What are we doing? 878 00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:08,080 Speaker 2: Flores? 879 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:09,520 Speaker 3: Okay, we got to figure that out and we're going 880 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,680 Speaker 3: to continue to take calls, texts and talkbacks. It's Vikings 881 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,440 Speaker 3: Fan Line on Kfan and the Minnesota Vikings Audio Network. 882 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:18,600 Speaker 2: This is Vikings. 883 00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:22,480 Speaker 28: Football on FM one hundred point three KFAS and get 884 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:34,040 Speaker 28: this now streamed live to Minnesota residence on iHeartRadio. 885 00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:41,520 Speaker 27: Hey guys, Nick from Hawaii, Oh, say hello, how how 886 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:42,480 Speaker 27: about Sam Donald? 887 00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:43,200 Speaker 2: How about him? 888 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 21: You know, literal had been the worst case scen area. 889 00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 21: If Sam Donald tore it up like you did. 890 00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:51,880 Speaker 2: The previous year, the bout like the two games and J. J. 891 00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,680 Speaker 21: McCarthy sat on the bench and watched this win a. 892 00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:58,520 Speaker 2: Super Bowl team. Yeah, I just the whole setting. 893 00:43:58,200 --> 00:43:58,880 Speaker 7: Head of Donald. 894 00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:00,279 Speaker 21: I've been a fan of them all time. 895 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,680 Speaker 2: Pucky of your thoughts, Yeah, I appreciated Nick.

At one point it sounded like 900 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,600 Speaker 3: they were set on They offered a contract to Daniel Jones. 901 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:21,040 Speaker 3: Daniel Jones took one look and he said, Minnesota or Indy, 902 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,799 Speaker 3: JJ McCarthy the way everything's pushing towards him and the 903 00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:29,880 Speaker 3: future here or Anthony Richardson. I wonder which one is 904 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:33,400 Speaker 3: going to give me the greater opportunity to start. And 905 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,359 Speaker 3: it looks like Daniel Jones took. But yeah, no, now, 906 00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,120 Speaker 3: I mean fast forward though, I'm starting to think to myself, 907 00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 3: what what are the additions outside of Isaiah Rodgers. Correct, 908 00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:49,600 Speaker 3: I'm having trouble pulling, you know, finding that return on investment. 909 00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, Kuda has not done much. 910 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 3: Sadly, he's got I mean, you know all Joe, I 911 00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 3: want him to be healthy, but sadly, I think he's 912 00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:59,000 Speaker 3: got more concussions and passes defense in twenty twenty five 913 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:03,160 Speaker 3: and like he got injured tonight, so hoping he gets healthy. 914 00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,560 Speaker 2: But man, him, I. 915 00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,200 Speaker 3: Couldn't tell if it was that Okuda on lad McConkie, 916 00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:12,319 Speaker 3: or was that yeah, yeah, Elijah Williams trying trying to 917 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:16,200 Speaker 3: run down the field, Yeah yeah, it was Yeah, it's 918 00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:17,280 Speaker 3: he was smoked. 919 00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 26: Man. 920 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:20,239 Speaker 2: I don't think he thought the ball was throwing to 921 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:20,799 Speaker 2: at one point. 922 00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,200 Speaker 15: I think he because he kind of like slowed up 923 00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:24,879 Speaker 15: and then he tried to speak.

I 948 00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,640 Speaker 3: would never demand that anyone listens to me. I'm not 949 00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:24,319 Speaker 3: a point of authority. I am superior to nobody in 950 00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,399 Speaker 3: no ways. However, I got I gotta have some people 951 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,879 Speaker 3: take a breath. If they're so willing and inclined. Let's 952 00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:31,840 Speaker 3: take a breath on the KO thing. Let's take a 953 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,520 Speaker 3: breath on the coaching staff thing. They were outclassed and 954 00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:38,120 Speaker 3: now coach Tonight. All of that is totally valid. What 955 00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:42,040 Speaker 3: I will say is I am interested to see how 956 00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:45,840 Speaker 3: the head coach handles true adversity. Twenty twenty three, I 957 00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,840 Speaker 3: get it, Kirk Tears's Achilles at Lambeau and then Dobbs, 958 00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,080 Speaker 3: Dobbs Dobbs, and we got like Jaren Hall on the 959 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,800 Speaker 3: field for a half again, that was ridiculous, Never should 960 00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,680 Speaker 3: have happened. And Nick Mullens throws it to the other 961 00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:58,399 Speaker 3: team as much as he throws it to his own. 962 00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:02,080 Speaker 3: So that's that's adversity in some ways certainly. But think 963 00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:06,000 Speaker 3: about this man, you you build twenty twenty five as 964 00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:09,319 Speaker 3: the toda. Here we are with the with the with 965 00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:13,640 Speaker 3: the the fable draft pick, and everything was pointed in 966 00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,319 Speaker 3: this direction. You do bring in the defensive talent that 967 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,759 Speaker 3: looked terrific on paper. You believe that you beefed up 968 00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:21,719 Speaker 3: your own line and everything is falling apart. I am 969 00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:25,640 Speaker 3: interested to see how Kevin O'Connell handles what I believe 970 00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:28,759 Speaker 3: to be true adversity really for the first time in 971 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:29,640 Speaker 3: his coaching career. 972 00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean injuries are killing them right now. 973 00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:38,320 Speaker 15: Like c J Ham out back in out again, Fries 974 00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:43,040 Speaker 15: Kelly like everybody's just getting banged up, Brian O'Neill, Darris Saw. 975 00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:46,000 Speaker 3: Like Donovan Jay. I mean, the entire offensive line at 976 00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:47,480 Speaker 3: one point this season has been hurt. I want to 977 00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:49,440 Speaker 3: ask you about Dedris oh, and you're dumb. But that's 978 00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:53,680 Speaker 3: the adversity within the quarterback room alone. Then you talk 979 00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,680 Speaker 3: about the additional injuries on defense. Then you talk about 980 00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,040 Speaker 3: office because even though Ko is the offensive coordinator, still 981 00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,920 Speaker 3: his entire team. I think it was twelve guys that 982 00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,759 Speaker 3: counted today out or on ir. Yeah, that's a lot. 983 00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:05,359 Speaker 6: Now. 984 00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,680 Speaker 15: Now Devil's advocate because some people at Homer probably like wait, 985 00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:13,760 Speaker 15: Chargers seventeen and they still are finding ways to win games. 986 00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,680 Speaker 2: So but their quarterback they're legit. They got one thing 987 00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:17,319 Speaker 2: that's pretty good. 988 00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:19,880 Speaker 15: Quarterback is legit, which the Vikings need to be out 989 00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,520 Speaker 15: and lab McConkey and you got this run Like this 990 00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:26,440 Speaker 15: run game the fourth running back today had over one 991 00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:29,520 Speaker 15: hundred yards for them. The fourth are starting running back 992 00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:34,480 Speaker 15: at three yards three three yards. That's what's so craz 993 00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:36,600 Speaker 15: I don't know if you've ever seen that tweet NORDA 994 00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,400 Speaker 15: where they're like, would you be able to get five 995 00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:44,160 Speaker 15: yards in ten attempts at running back against an NFL 996 00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:47,440 Speaker 15: defense and an NFL offensive line? And everybody always try 997 00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:49,120 Speaker 15: to say, oh, yeah, that's that's a half a yard 998 00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:53,480 Speaker 15: per carry. Jordan Mason had four carries today in three 999 00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,839 Speaker 15: yard It's not easy to do. And he's a he's 1000 00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:00,239 Speaker 15: a he is a world class athlete. So is it 1001 00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:04,000 Speaker 15: that they just got their butts kicked? Or is it 1002 00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,799 Speaker 15: that the calls are not right? Is it that it's predictable? 1003 00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:09,279 Speaker 15: I mean, you can go down the line about what 1004 00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:11,719 Speaker 15: happened to night. At the end of the day, both 1005 00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:13,520 Speaker 15: sides of the ball lost this game. 1006 00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:16,280 Speaker 2: Yep, you know. It wasn't just the quarterback. It wasn't 1007 00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:17,200 Speaker 2: just the receivers. 1008 00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,040 Speaker 15: And honestly, I don't I can't even say the receivers 1009 00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:20,799 Speaker 15: is anything wrong until I watched the film, I don't. 1010 00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:22,839 Speaker 3: I think they're the one blameless group. No, I think 1011 00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:26,360 Speaker 3: receivers did nothing wrong. Yeah, Addison was terrific. Justin jefferis 1012 00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:30,520 Speaker 3: is there? How could you ever look down upon what TJ. Hockinson, 1013 00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:31,520 Speaker 3: you actually caught one. 1014 00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:34,160 Speaker 15: Yeah, but like Dallas Turner, the only thing Dallas Turner 1015 00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:36,920 Speaker 15: did tonight was dolphin hit the quarterback in the head. 1016 00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, those dumb Like what was that? He had another 1017 00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:41,080 Speaker 2: penalty that was declined. 1018 00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:42,319 Speaker 15: Like if he was in college, he had been thrown 1019 00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:42,840 Speaker 15: out the game. 1020 00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:44,960 Speaker 2: For target targeting? Yeah, well what was that? 1021 00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,360 Speaker 15: Like it like, and again I watched Garnard and I 1022 00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:48,480 Speaker 15: don't know if you watched them. On a couple of 1023 00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:52,080 Speaker 15: those plays they were showing Gunnard. Yeah, first and secondary 1024 00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,920 Speaker 15: move off the line of scrimmage is nuts, Like he 1025 00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:56,959 Speaker 15: continues to fight the hands of the line. 1026 00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,840 Speaker 2: He never just gets grabbed and stay out on the defense. 1027 00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:04,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, he is working so hard, he's defeating double teams. 1028 00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:07,000 Speaker 3: Now he's freaking hurt with him it's the quarterback. And 1029 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,160 Speaker 3: then still track back down the track and made the 1030 00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:12,879 Speaker 3: tackle seven yards down the field, freaking Tyler Battie in there. 1031 00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,520 Speaker 15: So yeah, it's just it's you can find some bright spots, 1032 00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:21,080 Speaker 15: but to blame this like oh the coach this, it's 1033 00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:25,200 Speaker 15: it's not that you can't blame that, Like, should Isaiah 1034 00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:26,239 Speaker 15: Rodgers have caught the ball? 1035 00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:31,759 Speaker 2: Yeah? Should Josh Mattel's he did catch it. Should the 1036 00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:32,919 Speaker 2: rest stop cheating? Yes? 1037 00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:40,080 Speaker 9: Should should? Where's the cash Ftel press conference on that. 1038 00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,319 Speaker 9: Terry Rozure was at this game. Terry was like, Hey, 1039 00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:46,759 Speaker 9: look man, I'm in deep I'm in deep water. I 1040 00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:47,560 Speaker 9: need this one. 1041 00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,120 Speaker 15: But I mean, it's just it's it's when you look 1042 00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,400 Speaker 15: at the way it played itself out, like there's so 1043 00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,120 Speaker 15: many things that like Josh Mantels is like, it's not 1044 00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,160 Speaker 15: my fault. I shouldn't be doing this, Or how come 1045 00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:00,360 Speaker 15: you don't have a faster cornerback or safe in the 1046 00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:01,960 Speaker 15: game to watch the quarterback? 1047 00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,240 Speaker 3: How about the second straight game Mattel is getting caught. 1048 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,160 Speaker 3: I mean it was it was aj Brown last week. 1049 00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:10,000 Speaker 3: And then it's that second chance because this pass rush 1050 00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,239 Speaker 3: is so impotent right now, Herbert's just able to bounce. 1051 00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,160 Speaker 15: Around it gain You're right, and Josh Hotel has had 1052 00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,040 Speaker 15: him on the first part of the coverage but not 1053 00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,560 Speaker 15: sing and then he got the run back the other way, 1054 00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:21,200 Speaker 15: And it's just it's not, like I said, it's not 1055 00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,960 Speaker 15: his fault that they're not getting to the quarterback. Yeah, 1056 00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:26,719 Speaker 15: you know, and again I think Grenard's trying all he can, 1057 00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:28,600 Speaker 15: but he needs vang ginkle like he does. 1058 00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:30,960 Speaker 2: He needs vang ginkole over there. And that's I mean. 1059 00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:32,960 Speaker 3: I saw this text and I'm glad you brought up 1060 00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:37,000 Speaker 3: Turner because it was just nonsensical what happened on the 1061 00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,520 Speaker 3: field with the with the rough and the passer. But 1062 00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,280 Speaker 3: I see the text feels like it's another massive myss 1063 00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:43,880 Speaker 3: by our GM. And I've always kind of said it, 1064 00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,799 Speaker 3: it's like we're we're midstream right now, like this ain't 1065 00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,080 Speaker 3: the time to take the GM deep. This ain't the 1066 00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:52,919 Speaker 3: time to start. But keeps going like this, It's gonna 1067 00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:55,919 Speaker 3: be time. Yeah, Dallas Turner has to watch Grenard more. 1068 00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:59,359 Speaker 3: The criticism of that texture and those that look at 1069 00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:01,840 Speaker 3: this when you talk about the equity involved in the 1070 00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:04,759 Speaker 3: acquisition of the pick and all of those things and 1071 00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:08,600 Speaker 3: what's working and what's not working, those arguments are very valid. 1072 00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:11,200 Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that. Here's what we should do. 1073 00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:13,040 Speaker 3: Because we still got full phone lines, got a bunch 1074 00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,680 Speaker 3: of talkbacks at this point, We're going to say good 1075 00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:19,520 Speaker 3: night to the Vikings Audio Network.

A lifelong Vikings fan? I 1127 00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:28,040 Speaker 29: love him, I support him. I'll never give up. You know, 1128 00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:30,839 Speaker 29: we're in the playoffs until we're physically eliminated. 1129 00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:32,719 Speaker 21: But my question for you guys is. 1130 00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:38,239 Speaker 29: Flow seemed to show an open middle to the Chargers 1131 00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:42,560 Speaker 29: tonight and they just shredded us with running the ball. 1132 00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:48,319 Speaker 29: Herbert So that and moving forward. I totally believe in 1133 00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:52,280 Speaker 29: koc I think he's a very good coach. He's shown 1134 00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:55,280 Speaker 29: that with the two big seasons where we've had wins 1135 00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:59,120 Speaker 29: too clearly we are not the same team when we 1136 00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:03,080 Speaker 29: are ahead and game, then you know flows defense tends 1137 00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:05,960 Speaker 29: to you know, you could really get after the quarterback. 1138 00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:11,880 Speaker 29: But I think moving forward, it's on it's on Quacy. 1139 00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:16,759 Speaker 29: We have not addressed the line until this past offseason, 1140 00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:18,600 Speaker 29: but now we're at the point where we got so 1141 00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:22,440 Speaker 29: many injuries. I'm worried about our guy at center. I mean, 1142 00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:25,320 Speaker 29: I'm more worried about his life moving forward than whether 1143 00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:28,920 Speaker 29: he'll play football for us. So just need to hear 1144 00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:29,759 Speaker 29: what you guys think. 1145 00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:33,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, I appreciate it. Ravaged by injuries. Ryan Kelly on 1146 00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:36,640 Speaker 3: I are hard to say if he'd even return this season. 1147 00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:40,760 Speaker 3: We'll see what those concussions. Michael Jurgens and and Blake Brandell, 1148 00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:44,239 Speaker 3: the other options hasn't looked great save for that that 1149 00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:48,520 Speaker 3: debut performance in London by mister Brandell. Yeah, Christian Darisaw 1150 00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:52,120 Speaker 3: who couldn't go, I do want to address right out 1151 00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:55,920 Speaker 3: of the gate. His first question was about just I mean, 1152 00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:57,880 Speaker 3: it was open all night. We've talked about this before, 1153 00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:01,080 Speaker 3: just open all night, whether it was Dontel in twenty 1154 00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:06,120 Speaker 3: twenty two, and we've seen it in different stages where 1155 00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:09,640 Speaker 3: it's you know, last week it was Eric Wilson taking 1156 00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:12,200 Speaker 3: the cheese on the front end towards a Goddard streaking 1157 00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:16,040 Speaker 3: across the middle. Meanwhile, he's leaving Devonte Smith a ton 1158 00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:18,720 Speaker 3: of room behind him for those mid range games and 1159 00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:21,720 Speaker 3: a career day it was for Devonte Smith. Anything you're seeing, 1160 00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:25,080 Speaker 3: specifically from a coverage perspective, that is troubling to you. 1161 00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:28,240 Speaker 15: So I've talked to Brian Flores about this before, and 1162 00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:31,160 Speaker 15: the dvs do have the opportunity to kind of pick 1163 00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:32,120 Speaker 15: their own coverage. 1164 00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:34,720 Speaker 2: And when I say that, like he gives them the base. 1165 00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:38,120 Speaker 15: So if it's cover two, they can within emotion because 1166 00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:40,560 Speaker 15: you know when I did the numbers on cars on 1167 00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:44,680 Speaker 15: Justin Herbert on third down, specifically, if you look at 1168 00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:46,800 Speaker 15: the amount of times he's shift in motion leading ump 1169 00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:50,000 Speaker 15: to this game, it was sixty seven out of eighty 1170 00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:53,320 Speaker 15: five times, so eighty percent of the time he's gonna 1171 00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:56,720 Speaker 15: shift or motion his guys. So he does that one 1172 00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:00,800 Speaker 15: to identify what the coverage is, and then he wants 1173 00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:04,800 Speaker 15: to be able to ignite a change within because he'll 1174 00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:06,400 Speaker 15: move that running back and that. 1175 00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:08,920 Speaker 3: Changes the whole thing. You'll see him moving from the 1176 00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,080 Speaker 3: right to the left. Now he's changed it. 1177 00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:14,520 Speaker 15: So he's changed either the protection or he knows somebody's blitzing, 1178 00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:16,120 Speaker 15: or he's trying to figure out, Okay, I want you 1179 00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:17,480 Speaker 15: to be hot, going to the left, not to the 1180 00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,479 Speaker 15: right anymore. And then he wants to manipulate, and that's 1181 00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:22,640 Speaker 15: what he does. And so he was manipulating the middle 1182 00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:24,200 Speaker 15: of the field. I don't know if whatever he was 1183 00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:28,800 Speaker 15: doing he understood exactly what Brian Floores wanted. It made 1184 00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:31,280 Speaker 15: no sense not to just go basic, like, don't move 1185 00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:33,720 Speaker 15: it all. We're gonna play cover two. Let's play Tampa two. 1186 00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:37,040 Speaker 15: Let's play Tampa two. Spy like, keep it basic so 1187 00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:39,919 Speaker 15: that justin Herbert can't figure it out. When you start 1188 00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:43,080 Speaker 15: running and crossing the field and your cornerback goes back 1189 00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:45,440 Speaker 15: to safety, your safety comes down in the box, your 1190 00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:48,640 Speaker 15: other linebacker goes out and plays corner. It looks cool, 1191 00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:52,040 Speaker 15: it sounds cool, but it doesn't work when nobody's watching 1192 00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:54,920 Speaker 15: the quarterback anymore because they're running full speed to get 1193 00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:57,680 Speaker 15: to their spot. But if I can just stand there 1194 00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:00,680 Speaker 15: and stare at the quarterback and then to the hook, 1195 00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:02,160 Speaker 15: I can see that. 1196 00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:03,720 Speaker 2: Okay, wait, we're kind of covered. 1197 00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:06,240 Speaker 15: And now you got to have that internal clock, like 1198 00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:07,680 Speaker 15: I even Paced one time. I don't know if you 1199 00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:10,480 Speaker 15: saw it, the one run he had. I even Paced 1200 00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:13,800 Speaker 15: went and touched the receiver on the hook, like you 1201 00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:16,440 Speaker 15: don't have to touch him when the ball comes, just 1202 00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:19,280 Speaker 15: knock it down. He like went and touched him like to. 1203 00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:21,480 Speaker 2: Make sure, like okay, I got it, tag you're it, 1204 00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:22,160 Speaker 2: Like why. 1205 00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:25,560 Speaker 15: Are you touching him? Leave him? Like stay in your spot. 1206 00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:29,000 Speaker 15: If he throws it, dive and knock it down. If not, 1207 00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:30,960 Speaker 15: be close enough and have your eyes on the quarterback 1208 00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:33,840 Speaker 15: to be able to chase. And that maybe is why 1209 00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:37,280 Speaker 15: I even Paced didn't play last week. There's something fundamentally 1210 00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:39,200 Speaker 15: wrong with him when he's dropping back to pass. And 1211 00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:42,400 Speaker 15: I don't know if it's too much information. I don't 1212 00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:44,000 Speaker 15: know if that's what he's told to do, like hey, 1213 00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:46,280 Speaker 15: go touch the guy running the hook. You don't have 1214 00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:48,480 Speaker 15: to touch the guy running the hook. So a lot 1215 00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:50,880 Speaker 15: of that to me is concerning to be like why 1216 00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:52,400 Speaker 15: is the middle of the field wide open? 1217 00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:54,120 Speaker 2: Why is a quarterback just able to. 1218 00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:58,360 Speaker 15: Not once, not twice, not thrice, not four times or 1219 00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:01,400 Speaker 15: whole I can't say, ohle bunch of time, like you 1220 01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:02,640 Speaker 15: don't know if you remember that from my life and 1221 01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:05,200 Speaker 15: kids if you guys haven't seen that episode, it's awesome. 1222 01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:05,880 Speaker 8: Uh. 1223 01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,280 Speaker 15: He came out on a horse named Cecilees. But anyway, 1224 01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:09,120 Speaker 15: you know, by the way. 1225 01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:12,200 Speaker 3: I saw a urinal advertisement a few days ago. Cat Williams, 1226 01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:13,640 Speaker 3: I believe he's in town tomorrow night. 1227 01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:17,520 Speaker 2: Oh you were at the urinal. Yeah, I thought you 1228 01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:19,720 Speaker 2: saw advertisement selling urinals. 1229 01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:22,280 Speaker 3: There was a urinal advertisement when you were using the 1230 01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:23,080 Speaker 3: bathroom some day. 1231 01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:24,760 Speaker 15: You were just staring at Kat Williams while you were 1232 01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:26,720 Speaker 15: holding yourself. I was, I think he's gonna be in 1233 01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:30,320 Speaker 15: to tomorrow. How about that cool news. Look, we went 1234 01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:31,520 Speaker 15: to the Catias last time. 1235 01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:35,480 Speaker 3: I actually with Keithan mccardial funny, you know, funny story. 1236 01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:36,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, he is funny. 1237 01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:39,960 Speaker 15: But when you look at that right, that situation of 1238 01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:43,480 Speaker 15: seven times he was able to just run up the 1239 01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:46,480 Speaker 15: middle and get he was almost nine yards of carry 1240 01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:49,120 Speaker 15: for the quarterback. Nine yards of carry and he's not 1241 01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:52,040 Speaker 15: a running quarterback. There's something off there. 1242 01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:53,520 Speaker 2: Yep, I'm with you on that. 1243 01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:57,040 Speaker 3: Chandler and Sue Falls Chandler, Welcome to Vikings fan Line. 1244 01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:00,960 Speaker 26: Hey guys, Well, first of all, I don't know what 1245 01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:03,720 Speaker 26: that say in earlier was talking about Brian O'Neal, because 1246 01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:06,240 Speaker 26: last time I checked, I don't think he was in 1247 01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:08,560 Speaker 26: the starting lineup. But I do want to talk about 1248 01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:11,200 Speaker 26: the offensive line. Yeah, Ron, you know, I'm not an 1249 01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:13,840 Speaker 26: All twenty two kind of guy. I don't you know, 1250 01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:16,360 Speaker 26: have that access or pay for that. But is it 1251 01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:19,880 Speaker 26: a physicality thing that this offensive line, even the defensive 1252 01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:22,920 Speaker 26: line can get a push or anything up front? Or 1253 01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:25,240 Speaker 26: is it scheme? Like what is it the quarterback now 1254 01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:27,760 Speaker 26: getting the ball out of the hands fast enough? It 1255 01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:30,680 Speaker 26: just feels like a year after year we're getting you know, 1256 01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:33,040 Speaker 26: bullied around up front, and that's just been kent of 1257 01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:36,880 Speaker 26: the same scene over and over again. I mean, the 1258 01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:39,160 Speaker 26: worst thing comes the worst. You know, Kevin O'Connell can 1259 01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:41,680 Speaker 26: get busted tomorrow for playing poker with the mob. I 1260 01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:44,120 Speaker 26: don't know, but I'll hang up in Lesson. 1261 01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:47,520 Speaker 3: I got a big shot Chaulnsey Bill upside of this man, 1262 01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:50,120 Speaker 3: you know, lack of It's interesting you got Chandler and 1263 01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:53,200 Speaker 3: Sue Falls talking about the physicality and then I saw 1264 01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:56,440 Speaker 3: this Cordell in Sue Falls. Different phone numbers so I 1265 01:01:56,440 --> 01:02:00,960 Speaker 3: can confirm different people's Cordero Patterson just Cordell the worst. 1266 01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,080 Speaker 3: This is way he says, the worst tackling exhibition of 1267 01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:05,680 Speaker 3: the season by far, Herbert is not Lamar was able 1268 01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,200 Speaker 3: to evade and rush with ease. Looked like Bobby Douglas 1269 01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:09,800 Speaker 3: when he decided to run. You could have had one 1270 01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:11,320 Speaker 3: hundred yards rushing if you wanted. 1271 01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:12,280 Speaker 2: Too bad. 1272 01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:15,080 Speaker 3: We weren't playing flag football because that would have helped. 1273 01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:18,360 Speaker 3: Whether it's the physicality and the on line physicality and 1274 01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:22,040 Speaker 3: the tackling game, and the physicality specifically in the tackling 1275 01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:23,440 Speaker 3: is a theme that you and I have kind of 1276 01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:26,120 Speaker 3: that topic. We've broached a few times this year, but 1277 01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:28,520 Speaker 3: certainly seeing it up front with the Minnesota Moving company 1278 01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:28,919 Speaker 3: as well. 1279 01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:31,760 Speaker 15: Yeah, I'm not going to blame the way the quarterback 1280 01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:33,840 Speaker 15: is being treated, but I have to blame a little bit. 1281 01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:35,200 Speaker 15: Like if you watch the way some of these guys 1282 01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,880 Speaker 15: run a quarterbacks, it's not reckless abandoned anymore. 1283 01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:40,240 Speaker 2: They're so worried about hitting the quarterback too hard. 1284 01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:41,680 Speaker 15: I don't know if you saw that when the quarterback 1285 01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:44,600 Speaker 15: just got hit in the pocket, wasn't watching that The 1286 01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:47,360 Speaker 15: blitz was coming from the ba bump from behind and 1287 01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:49,160 Speaker 15: they threw a flag because he hit him too hard? 1288 01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:50,120 Speaker 2: Which game was that? 1289 01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:52,520 Speaker 15: I forget it was either Aaron Rodgers or somebody. I 1290 01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:53,920 Speaker 15: have to go back and look if you just probably 1291 01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:57,520 Speaker 15: google it, Like Egregious rough In the passer okay, had 1292 01:02:57,560 --> 01:02:59,120 Speaker 15: the ball. We've seen a few of them, had the 1293 01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:01,960 Speaker 15: ball in his hand, did not fall on him, hit 1294 01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:04,840 Speaker 15: him just super hard in the back, and then the 1295 01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:07,320 Speaker 15: the linebacker fell off to the right, quarterback fell on 1296 01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:07,800 Speaker 15: his face. 1297 01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:11,120 Speaker 2: They threw a flag, right, what are we doing? 1298 01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:11,320 Speaker 7: So? 1299 01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:13,000 Speaker 15: And I'm not saying that's the reason why they're missing 1300 01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:15,200 Speaker 15: these tackles. I'm just saying, like the one where Justin 1301 01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:17,640 Speaker 15: Herbert ran and kind of fell forward. Yeah, back in 1302 01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:19,520 Speaker 15: the day, you could have went face forward to and 1303 01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:21,400 Speaker 15: put his head into the turf. We saw if Alice 1304 01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:24,600 Speaker 15: Turner wasn't worried about that. You can't do that anymore. 1305 01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:26,440 Speaker 15: So now you gotta like Josh mun Tellens was like, 1306 01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:28,160 Speaker 15: should I hit him? Is he gonna slide? Is he 1307 01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:31,200 Speaker 15: gonna Like if quarterbacks are not gonna slide every time, 1308 01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:33,440 Speaker 15: and we're gonna treat them like that, you have to 1309 01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:35,080 Speaker 15: be able to tee off on a quarterback once he 1310 01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:37,400 Speaker 15: starts running. I'm not again, I'm not blaming that. X 1311 01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:39,760 Speaker 15: don't don't tweet at me and say, oh, you're make 1312 01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:42,600 Speaker 15: an excuse me. That's definitely not why they were missing tackles. 1313 01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:46,360 Speaker 3: But I get what you're saying on that. But Kamani Vidal, 1314 01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:47,520 Speaker 3: Yeah that's bad. 1315 01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:49,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was missing. He was dragging people. 1316 01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:51,160 Speaker 3: It looked like Barry Sanders at once. I'll give you 1317 01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:53,640 Speaker 3: there was one run I think he went for like eighteen. 1318 01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:56,680 Speaker 3: I'll give Jalen Redmand some grace because he had one 1319 01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:59,560 Speaker 3: arm on Vidal and he was also like trying to 1320 01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:02,320 Speaker 3: break off and get off an old lineman at the 1321 01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:05,920 Speaker 3: same time. But even I mean hit man, dude, Like 1322 01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:09,400 Speaker 3: I mean these guys, he got carried for five yards. 1323 01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:14,640 Speaker 3: The tackling is brutal at times as soon as slippery. 1324 01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:16,000 Speaker 2: It is vedala soon. 1325 01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:18,920 Speaker 3: I guess I should be saying that in an affectionate manner, 1326 01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:22,640 Speaker 3: given how slick he was, There's no doubt about that, 1327 01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:25,040 Speaker 3: and he was slick for a buck seventeen on the ground. 1328 01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:27,840 Speaker 3: Good for Vidal, best game of his career, I think, 1329 01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:29,880 Speaker 3: or no, he had a good game a couple of 1330 01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:32,800 Speaker 3: weeks ago. But hardball was just committed to it. Let's 1331 01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:34,680 Speaker 3: play something positive and then pause. 1332 01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:39,040 Speaker 19: Hey, Nordo, we got some positive vibes here. Okay, let's 1333 01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:42,080 Speaker 19: not lose faith on the Vikings. Yes, we look very bad, 1334 01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:44,040 Speaker 19: but at the end of the day, we get our 1335 01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:46,280 Speaker 19: boy McCarthy back next week. 1336 01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:47,560 Speaker 2: J I don't know. 1337 01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:48,920 Speaker 19: I have a good feeling. I don't know if we're 1338 01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:50,400 Speaker 19: going to beat the Lions, but I think we'll be 1339 01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:53,400 Speaker 19: able to come out. The offensive line was not horrible. 1340 01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:55,959 Speaker 2: I think Wentz holds the ball way way too long. 1341 01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:56,400 Speaker 7: Agreed. 1342 01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:58,360 Speaker 19: I give Wentz props though I think he knew it 1343 01:04:58,400 --> 01:04:59,960 Speaker 19: was his last game and give everything he kill. 1344 01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:02,919 Speaker 16: We just weren't good enough onto the next one. 1345 01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:03,720 Speaker 19: Skull Vikes. 1346 01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:07,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe you know, when we wake up tomorrow, we'll 1347 01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:08,640 Speaker 3: be a little bit tired, but we've got to get 1348 01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:11,560 Speaker 3: the Friday started. Maybe there there is by the time 1349 01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:13,600 Speaker 3: we can maybe maybe not tomorrow, but we turn this 1350 01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:17,800 Speaker 3: over to Monday and we start thinking we will get 1351 01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:19,479 Speaker 3: to see JJ McCarthy again. 1352 01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:22,440 Speaker 2: The team's three and four. The sun that come out tomorrow. 1353 01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:24,960 Speaker 3: You you laid it, I absolutely will, and we had 1354 01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:27,320 Speaker 3: we had Mark earlier. I mean, it's all about real life, 1355 01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:29,760 Speaker 3: not the frivolity of sports. But it's about real life. 1356 01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:33,040 Speaker 3: Hug your wife and kids. Yeah, gentlemen. But uh, but 1357 01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:35,960 Speaker 3: to that end by monday, if are you able to 1358 01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:38,320 Speaker 3: do it at some point where you want you want 1359 01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:38,800 Speaker 3: the team. 1360 01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:39,200 Speaker 2: To win games? 1361 01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:42,480 Speaker 3: Okay, three and four seasons not over, certainly, but can 1362 01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:44,320 Speaker 3: you can you turn that page where you start to 1363 01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:44,960 Speaker 3: kind of think. 1364 01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:46,480 Speaker 2: Well, win or lose. 1365 01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:52,120 Speaker 3: There is a great opportunity here to finally, hopefully just 1366 01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:53,840 Speaker 3: get to see what the kid has. 1367 01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:55,960 Speaker 2: Can can you do that? Or is it still three 1368 01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:58,040 Speaker 2: and four? It's like you go out. 1369 01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:00,400 Speaker 3: And and JJ even has just you know, let's say 1370 01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:03,080 Speaker 3: it makes his his second debut of the year. I 1371 01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:06,320 Speaker 3: suppose against the kiddies, and you lose that game. 1372 01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:08,400 Speaker 2: You're three and five. That's a bad game to come 1373 01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:09,959 Speaker 2: back to. It's gonna be a tough game. 1374 01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:11,640 Speaker 15: It's a bag. I mean, have you seen I mean 1375 01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:15,280 Speaker 15: you've seen it. He's set offense is just that run game. 1376 01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:15,680 Speaker 29: Dude. 1377 01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:18,440 Speaker 3: I thought I thought they'd regress. Man, they have not regressed. 1378 01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:20,160 Speaker 3: They regrets with the first game. It took the new 1379 01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:23,120 Speaker 3: coordinator one game one to figure it out and then 1380 01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:26,520 Speaker 3: he realized, wait a minute, I got these two running backs. 1381 01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:30,240 Speaker 2: What am I doing? Did you see Gibbs on the seventy. 1382 01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:35,400 Speaker 15: Antoine Winfield almost got the hamstring. He was seven yards 1383 01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:38,320 Speaker 15: ahead of Gibbs, and Gibbs still beat him. 1384 01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:38,760 Speaker 2: On the ankle. 1385 01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:42,680 Speaker 3: If we if we tackle next week like we did tonight, 1386 01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:44,400 Speaker 3: like we did against Philly, like we've done. 1387 01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:46,560 Speaker 15: I mean nothing against Harrison Smith and and those none 1388 01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:47,800 Speaker 15: of those guys have that speed. 1389 01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:49,400 Speaker 2: They're not going to keep up with Gibbs. 1390 01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:51,600 Speaker 15: And Gibbs is like and he's only having to touch 1391 01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:53,720 Speaker 15: the ball twelve to fifteen times to get that. 1392 01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:56,040 Speaker 2: All right. See, that's the thing we just turned positive 1393 01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:57,960 Speaker 2: vibes into now. So I'm just saying, here's the thing. 1394 01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:00,480 Speaker 15: So if Jason McCarthy is saying, let's go, I want 1395 01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:04,160 Speaker 15: to Jay McCarthy's in that fourteen play drive we just 1396 01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:08,080 Speaker 15: saw from the other team, right, because you watch film, 1397 01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:11,760 Speaker 15: everybody watching you watch your opponent as well, that's what 1398 01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:17,200 Speaker 15: they need to do. Hardball clearly has a plan with Herbert. 1399 01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:20,640 Speaker 15: You have to do that, which is Jason McCarthy, Well, 1400 01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:23,280 Speaker 15: hopefully he can run with that ankle. Jason McCarthy can run, 1401 01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:26,400 Speaker 15: So give him that trigger. Hey, one one thousand, two, 1402 01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:29,680 Speaker 15: one thousand, We all did it as a kid. Go yeah, 1403 01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:33,960 Speaker 15: one one thousand, two, one thousand, Nope, go like Carson Wentz. 1404 01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:35,480 Speaker 15: And I think one of the callers said earlier we 1405 01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:37,760 Speaker 15: didn't hit on that he does hold the ball too long. 1406 01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:39,920 Speaker 15: He does hold the ball like he never pulls it 1407 01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:42,160 Speaker 15: down and just takes It's always like he right, he's 1408 01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:43,520 Speaker 15: backing himself into sacks. 1409 01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:45,720 Speaker 3: That's that's why I didn't want to completely bleep on 1410 01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:47,880 Speaker 3: the O line because Carson Wentz is he has to 1411 01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:49,200 Speaker 3: own some of his own aims. 1412 01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:49,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1413 01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:52,400 Speaker 15: Who oh, No, I was watching the Chargers game because 1414 01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:54,479 Speaker 15: I watched literally I watched all seven Chargers games because 1415 01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:57,440 Speaker 15: I cataloged week one through seven how many times they 1416 01:07:57,480 --> 01:07:58,640 Speaker 15: motioned and shift on third. 1417 01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:00,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was. I was kind of crazy obsessed. I 1418 01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:01,680 Speaker 2: am obsessed. 1419 01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:03,400 Speaker 15: I was because I was just wanting to see And 1420 01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:05,640 Speaker 15: when I'm listening to Tom Brady, who was Tom Brady 1421 01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:08,360 Speaker 15: did one of their games and literally justin Herbert almost 1422 01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:10,160 Speaker 15: took a sack. He just threw the ball at the 1423 01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:12,360 Speaker 15: foot of the receiver. And Tom Brady said, that's the 1424 01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:15,160 Speaker 15: smartest play he made today. Yes, because instead of taking 1425 01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:17,760 Speaker 15: the sack, you throw it to receivers not intentional ground, 1426 01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:19,960 Speaker 15: and you don't put it in harm's way and you 1427 01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:23,240 Speaker 15: move on to third down and four versus third down 1428 01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:26,240 Speaker 15: and sixteen. And that's the one thing Carson Wentz doesn't do, 1429 01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:28,600 Speaker 15: like he doesn't have a quick trigger to say, I 1430 01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:29,519 Speaker 15: gotta get rid of the ball. 1431 01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:31,320 Speaker 2: Well, no, he tried, got to go, he tried. He 1432 01:08:31,360 --> 01:08:33,680 Speaker 2: tried to do that on that intentional grounding, that'll be. 1433 01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:36,799 Speaker 15: But even the one where he almost threw a freaking 1434 01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:39,599 Speaker 15: uh well, thank god it was his knee was down 1435 01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:42,880 Speaker 15: and it would have been a pass. Like, what are 1436 01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:44,760 Speaker 15: you doing? Just throwing at his feet right away? He's 1437 01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:46,920 Speaker 15: standing right there. Why are you trying to go forward? 1438 01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:49,839 Speaker 15: And you can't run fast anymore? You can't run anymore. 1439 01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:50,760 Speaker 15: But positive vibes. 1440 01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:52,920 Speaker 3: We might get to see JJ McCarthy next week.

I appreciate the talkback. 1475 01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:12,759 Speaker 3: More talkbacks. 1476 01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:13,320 Speaker 2: Let's do this. 1477 01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:17,160 Speaker 30: Hey, guys, this is Scott. It's becoming clear. I guess 1478 01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:20,400 Speaker 30: at this point in the season that the composition of 1479 01:10:20,439 --> 01:10:22,639 Speaker 30: the roster and the plan for this year was something 1480 01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:25,640 Speaker 30: far beyond a pipe dream. 1481 01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:26,479 Speaker 2: And I know. 1482 01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:29,920 Speaker 30: JJ McCarthy's gonna be starting, I would think, so I 1483 01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:31,880 Speaker 30: fear for him. I'm not sold he's the guy, but 1484 01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:36,160 Speaker 30: he is going to get demolished behind this offensive line. 1485 01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:37,759 Speaker 30: He probably won't last the season. 1486 01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:42,800 Speaker 2: Geez Okay, well that's that's very morbid and pessimistic. Who 1487 01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:43,320 Speaker 2: hurt you? 1488 01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:45,639 Speaker 3: But he has to, I mean well in fairness though 1489 01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:49,280 Speaker 3: the offensive line has its issues. I was talking with 1490 01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:51,599 Speaker 3: Ron during the break, so I'll just kind of put 1491 01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:53,680 Speaker 3: this out on the air with you, just kind of 1492 01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:57,120 Speaker 3: trying to figure out this derisol thing. And it's very concerning, man. 1493 01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:59,599 Speaker 3: I mean, he recovers from the injury, not quite ready 1494 01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:02,439 Speaker 3: to go. We one totally get it, and you know 1495 01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:04,240 Speaker 3: it was a bad injury as it was right and 1496 01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:07,479 Speaker 3: it was actually at so far about a year ago. 1497 01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:09,800 Speaker 3: And but but he makes his way back and it's 1498 01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:12,080 Speaker 3: a pitch count happy to have him back. Coach is 1499 01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:13,960 Speaker 3: going to stick to the plan. We need a win 1500 01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:18,840 Speaker 3: in London against the Browns. They actually pull Christian Dearosaw 1501 01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:20,840 Speaker 3: and they stick to the plan and they put justin 1502 01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:23,640 Speaker 3: school in. He performs against Miles Garrett for a player too, 1503 01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:25,920 Speaker 3: we find our way to victory going to the by 1504 01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:29,920 Speaker 3: plays all the snaps against Philly, and so just kind 1505 01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:32,960 Speaker 3: of the idea is is whatever recovery work can be 1506 01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:34,639 Speaker 3: done during the by, we're going to have a full 1507 01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:37,800 Speaker 3: force Christian darosaw out of the break. You get it. 1508 01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:41,920 Speaker 3: And then there's the is it even a regression? But 1509 01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:45,200 Speaker 3: now is it fully healthy? Is it a mental thing? 1510 01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:48,480 Speaker 3: And you know what is you know from a spectrum 1511 01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:50,960 Speaker 3: of pain right like I don't know if they I 1512 01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:52,760 Speaker 3: don't go to the hospital the doctor much. But you 1513 01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:55,120 Speaker 3: got like those little pain charts right like point to 1514 01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:58,200 Speaker 3: the smiley face zero to ten in terms of what 1515 01:11:58,280 --> 01:12:01,280 Speaker 3: your pain level. Is it pain from an injury versus 1516 01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:04,519 Speaker 3: paying from soreness as you continue to rebuild the strength 1517 01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:08,280 Speaker 3: around that knee. Correct, But Darra saw not being able 1518 01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:10,559 Speaker 3: to make the dance. You think if it was a 1519 01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:12,960 Speaker 3: Sunday game, maybe he plays the whole game. I'm less 1520 01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:15,880 Speaker 3: optimistic in that regard than you are. It's just it 1521 01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:18,639 Speaker 3: is kind of concerning with the in and out nature. 1522 01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:22,439 Speaker 3: If we are looking at finding continuity in the offensive line, 1523 01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:24,600 Speaker 3: if justin School is going to be the guy on 1524 01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:25,840 Speaker 3: the left for eighty percent of the game. 1525 01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:27,400 Speaker 2: I need justin school going. 1526 01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:28,920 Speaker 3: Into the game thinking he's going to be the guy 1527 01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:30,720 Speaker 3: on the left for the entire game, you know what 1528 01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:34,280 Speaker 3: I mean? And so playing these will I won't die games. 1529 01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:36,600 Speaker 3: I don't think that's good and it just kind of 1530 01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:38,559 Speaker 3: worries me a bit. Yeah, I mean, but you saw 1531 01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:39,680 Speaker 3: the Chargers were in the same bit. 1532 01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:41,280 Speaker 15: You know, they had a lot of injured you know, 1533 01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:43,200 Speaker 15: linemen coming to this game, and they tried to go 1534 01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:45,040 Speaker 15: out there too. One of their guys went out. He 1535 01:12:45,080 --> 01:12:46,960 Speaker 15: did the same thing on the sideline. Can you go 1536 01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:49,000 Speaker 15: back in? And he was making that grimace in face too, 1537 01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:52,040 Speaker 15: like I don't think I can go back, Like it's 1538 01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:55,120 Speaker 15: only so much you can push a player, you know before, 1539 01:12:55,439 --> 01:12:57,720 Speaker 15: Like are you negligent if you send him out there 1540 01:12:57,720 --> 01:12:58,920 Speaker 15: and then he gets hurt even worse? 1541 01:12:58,960 --> 01:12:59,960 Speaker 2: Like are people pissed off? 1542 01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:00,360 Speaker 17: Is now? 1543 01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:02,080 Speaker 15: Christ and Derris is out for There's a season they 1544 01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:05,479 Speaker 15: lost thirty seven to ten anyway, with them in or out. 1545 01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:07,519 Speaker 15: You have to trust that the players doing their best 1546 01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:08,760 Speaker 15: to try to get back on the field, and then 1547 01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:11,080 Speaker 15: the trainers are you know, doing everything they can and 1548 01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:13,280 Speaker 15: make sure he's mentally ready to go. But again I 1549 01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:15,679 Speaker 15: think it's a short week. That's like because even coming 1550 01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:19,759 Speaker 15: off both their knees, him and O'Neil, they're swelling. That's involved, 1551 01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:21,679 Speaker 15: and so you'll see them wearing like a leg sleeve 1552 01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:23,960 Speaker 15: all week, you know, to kind of get the swelling out, 1553 01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:26,799 Speaker 15: push it down towards the ankle and an icy ankle 1554 01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:29,320 Speaker 15: and iced the leg and blah blah. So I think 1555 01:13:29,320 --> 01:13:31,320 Speaker 15: that's part of the flight, you know, the flight out there, 1556 01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:33,800 Speaker 15: so short week, no rest flight out to LA long 1557 01:13:33,840 --> 01:13:35,519 Speaker 15: flight and then you got to get off and get 1558 01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:37,160 Speaker 15: the swelling out of your knee. 1559 01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:38,720 Speaker 2: I think that's part of it too. 1560 01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:41,439 Speaker 15: That's that's swelling is less, it's more sorry, it's more 1561 01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:43,160 Speaker 15: of the pain than it is the actual knee. It's 1562 01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:44,800 Speaker 15: just it makes it tight, it makes it feel like 1563 01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:45,800 Speaker 15: you can't move as well. 1564 01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:47,439 Speaker 2: So that's that's part of it. 1565 01:13:48,439 --> 01:13:50,479 Speaker 3: What we're gonna do now and then we're gonna pause 1566 01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:52,639 Speaker 3: their final segment. I got another talk back and then 1567 01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:55,479 Speaker 3: we'll put a rap on this thing. Happy Friday morning 1568 01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:57,240 Speaker 3: to all of you, and thanks for hanging out with us. 1569 01:13:57,280 --> 01:14:00,799 Speaker 3: Thirty seven to ten to the final. Our local Chevy dealers. 1570 01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:03,040 Speaker 3: We love our local Chevy dealers. And now it is 1571 01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:06,120 Speaker 3: time for our local Chevy dealers drive of the game. 1572 01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:08,320 Speaker 2: That sounded like this first. 1573 01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:11,000 Speaker 17: Two goal from the five, out of the shotgun wentz Picks, 1574 01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:12,200 Speaker 17: a handoff closed to. 1575 01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:15,839 Speaker 25: The end zone, caught touchdown, Minnesota Vikings. 1576 01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:22,519 Speaker 2: It's Jordan Addison. The Vikings perfect in the red zone tonight. 1577 01:14:22,600 --> 01:14:22,800 Speaker 12: Ron. 1578 01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:25,200 Speaker 3: They were one of six a week ago. That's a problem. 1579 01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:28,240 Speaker 3: They were perfect in the red zone tonight. The problem 1580 01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:30,400 Speaker 3: is that was their only time in the red zone. 1581 01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:33,519 Speaker 3: That is your local Chevy dealer's drive of the game. 1582 01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:37,360 Speaker 3: Who was a doozy? It was a six play, twenty 1583 01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:41,840 Speaker 3: six yard drive. Ron, Who two and two minutes and 1584 01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:46,760 Speaker 3: twenty two seconds, six plays twenty six yards. I must 1585 01:14:46,840 --> 01:14:49,080 Speaker 3: remind people it was eighted I believe by at least 1586 01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:51,920 Speaker 3: two penalties, potentially one on the field goal, and then 1587 01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:54,679 Speaker 3: I think there was an illegal contact on a fourth 1588 01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:57,599 Speaker 3: and goal play that extended it getting the touchdown on 1589 01:14:57,680 --> 01:14:59,679 Speaker 3: the ensuing first down from the four. 1590 01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:00,880 Speaker 2: Oh. 1591 01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:03,120 Speaker 3: But thank you to our local Chevy dealers. They're no joke. 1592 01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:05,280 Speaker 3: We love our local Chevy dealers. That was their drive 1593 01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:08,080 Speaker 3: of the game. I just apologize to our local Chevy dealers. 1594 01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:11,880 Speaker 3: I can't offer a better drive because our offense was 1595 01:15:11,920 --> 01:15:15,400 Speaker 3: a disastrous mess this evening. But thirty seven to ten, 1596 01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:18,400 Speaker 3: that all plays into it. That's why the Chargers were 1597 01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:22,200 Speaker 3: absolutely better in every single freaking category. Head the ball 1598 01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:25,160 Speaker 3: for almost forty minutes tonight. That's got to change. Everything's 1599 01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:27,400 Speaker 3: got to be better. About ten days from now, when 1600 01:15:27,400 --> 01:15:28,360 Speaker 3: the team is in Detroit. 1601 01:15:28,360 --> 01:15:28,760 Speaker 2: We're going to. 1602 01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:30,880 Speaker 3: Pause one more time and put a rap on this 1603 01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:33,000 Speaker 3: thing as we do look ahead. It's Vikings fan line 1604 01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:39,040 Speaker 3: on the fan. 1605 01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:46,640 Speaker 31: Hey, this is Tony in Nashville. Hey, I agree with 1606 01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:51,639 Speaker 31: the Broseberg comments. We too, would I find inexcusable. Are 1607 01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:58,799 Speaker 31: the stupid penalties increase that penalty reach out, penalties on kickoffslujah? 1608 01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:02,679 Speaker 31: Twelve men on the field. Yeah, those just show an 1609 01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:07,040 Speaker 31: undisciplined team, and that is blamed on the coaching score. 1610 01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:12,080 Speaker 2: Y'all score. Seasons not over. 1611 01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:14,680 Speaker 3: But the team's three and four, and I mean just 1612 01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:17,760 Speaker 3: by far, just by every possible metric. The worst game 1613 01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:20,120 Speaker 3: of the season that we've watched from our favorite football 1614 01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:23,480 Speaker 3: team took place earlier tonight at SOFI Stadium in Los Angeles, 1615 01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:27,120 Speaker 3: and the Chargers find their way to five and three, 1616 01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:31,759 Speaker 3: and the Vikings now three and four lopsided thirty seven 1617 01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:35,360 Speaker 3: to ten, l twelve first downs total in the game 1618 01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:37,880 Speaker 3: that in comparison to the Chargers the twenty nine. I mean, 1619 01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:39,519 Speaker 3: just kind of running through some of these stats. 1620 01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:39,800 Speaker 14: Ron. 1621 01:16:40,920 --> 01:16:43,439 Speaker 3: As much as I love doing fan line with you, Ron, 1622 01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:47,799 Speaker 3: sometimes I will say it's masochistic in a way where 1623 01:16:48,760 --> 01:16:52,519 Speaker 3: in some ways I enjoy the losses more in terms 1624 01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:55,280 Speaker 3: of just just doing fan line. I want the team 1625 01:16:55,280 --> 01:16:58,160 Speaker 3: to go undefeated and win every single game, but in 1626 01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:00,240 Speaker 3: terms of like doing fan line, sometimes the losses can 1627 01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:03,240 Speaker 3: be more entertaining because I definitely entertain it. 1628 01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:05,120 Speaker 2: I love the rooms man. I am one. 1629 01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:07,800 Speaker 3: I'm a forty year old child who loves his football team, 1630 01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:10,960 Speaker 3: and I just love whether it's the talkbacks or the texts, 1631 01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:15,080 Speaker 3: just hearing what the fan base is feeling. I mean, 1632 01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:18,200 Speaker 3: Brozman was seventy five percent completions today, but correct, are 1633 01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:20,040 Speaker 3: you give me a break? With the three of eleven 1634 01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:22,880 Speaker 3: on third down into the game, Chargers were fourth in 1635 01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:25,439 Speaker 3: the NFL in third down percentage. They were nine to 1636 01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:27,599 Speaker 3: thirteen tonight, so they're just playing the script. 1637 01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:28,719 Speaker 2: Cool. 1638 01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:32,479 Speaker 3: Forty seven plays on offense for Kevin O'Connell's offense Okay, 1639 01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:36,160 Speaker 3: that's that's not enough compared to seventy How about a 1640 01:17:36,160 --> 01:17:39,200 Speaker 3: buck sixty four of total yards on offense? I mean, 1641 01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:44,960 Speaker 3: just wow, that's terrible compared to four hundred plus by 1642 01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:48,320 Speaker 3: the Chargers. What else do we got eight more penalties tonight? 1643 01:17:48,360 --> 01:17:51,880 Speaker 3: That's cool, super undisciplined. The talkbacker hit it special teams 1644 01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:55,639 Speaker 3: penalties are ridiculous and unacceptable. We got Dallas Turner launching 1645 01:17:55,680 --> 01:17:58,600 Speaker 3: his head at somebody. He left the freaking turf you 1646 01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:00,479 Speaker 3: mentioned it. If this was a college that would have 1647 01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:02,240 Speaker 3: been reviewed, he would have been kicked out of the game. 1648 01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:05,120 Speaker 2: You're gone one that just I mean, this is a 1649 01:18:05,200 --> 01:18:06,880 Speaker 2: kick in the pants. Uh. 1650 01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:10,000 Speaker 3: They had the ball for nearly forty minutes, Ron, but 1651 01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:13,120 Speaker 3: we didn't lose the turnover battle. 1652 01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:17,519 Speaker 2: Silver Linings, what what. 1653 01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:19,479 Speaker 3: Are you you're thinking about?

So it's 1664 01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:49,360 Speaker 15: it's like you gotta you gotta take the easy like 1665 01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:52,080 Speaker 15: the nerdy stat would be like you're going to run 1666 01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:54,280 Speaker 15: the ball on third and one, knowing I'm going to 1667 01:18:54,360 --> 01:18:57,160 Speaker 15: run the ball on fourth and one, like I'm gonna push, 1668 01:18:57,240 --> 01:18:58,240 Speaker 15: push this thing till. 1669 01:18:58,080 --> 01:19:01,080 Speaker 2: I can't do it anymore. And that's what I'm thinking. 1670 01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:04,240 Speaker 15: I'm like, how can the Minnesota Vikings take these third 1671 01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:06,960 Speaker 15: down plays like you talked about and actually try to 1672 01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:08,840 Speaker 15: convert like it just does it? Like I'm looking at 1673 01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:11,000 Speaker 15: this third because I have the replays up now, and 1674 01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:13,599 Speaker 15: this third and eleven bit, I think that's the Carson 1675 01:19:13,640 --> 01:19:15,960 Speaker 15: Wentz like my arm is about to die or one 1676 01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:18,799 Speaker 15: of them because his shoulder got his jersey got pulled 1677 01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:21,200 Speaker 15: up or something in the pocket. But you know, second 1678 01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:23,280 Speaker 15: and eleven, same thing, play action. 1679 01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:24,639 Speaker 2: Pump pump. 1680 01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:26,479 Speaker 15: He didn't throw the ball. He comes out of it, 1681 01:19:27,080 --> 01:19:28,760 Speaker 15: and then he's just looking around like we're gonna throw 1682 01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:30,840 Speaker 15: the ball, and then he almost throws it to the 1683 01:19:30,840 --> 01:19:32,080 Speaker 15: feet of Jordan Natiseny. 1684 01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:33,760 Speaker 2: Like I'm just watching the play back over again. 1685 01:19:33,880 --> 01:19:34,040 Speaker 1: Yep. 1686 01:19:34,360 --> 01:19:36,280 Speaker 2: I just don't understand how you miss Jordan. 1687 01:19:36,360 --> 01:19:38,600 Speaker 15: Like in that instance right there, justin Herbert throws an 1688 01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:41,719 Speaker 15: absolute strike and hits Jordanadsen in the chest. Carson Wentz 1689 01:19:41,760 --> 01:19:43,760 Speaker 15: throws it into the dirt. He's grimacing now. I'm looking 1690 01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:46,240 Speaker 15: at his face. His arm clearly is hurting now because 1691 01:19:46,240 --> 01:19:48,280 Speaker 15: you can see that arm got grabbed. So this is 1692 01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:50,880 Speaker 15: when it started. It started on this second and eleven 1693 01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:54,600 Speaker 15: and Khalil Mack just absolutely blew through justin school. 1694 01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:59,320 Speaker 3: Like I know, dude, It's just like I just got 1695 01:19:59,320 --> 01:20:02,200 Speaker 3: this text and just appreciate again, appreciate everybody. 1696 01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:04,200 Speaker 2: Just Nordo period. 1697 01:20:04,720 --> 01:20:07,759 Speaker 3: You script the first play and Wentz damn near throws 1698 01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:09,559 Speaker 3: the lateral to Aaron Jones at. 1699 01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:10,280 Speaker 2: A swing pass. 1700 01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:13,880 Speaker 3: I amen, I was thinking the exact same thing when 1701 01:20:13,880 --> 01:20:16,120 Speaker 3: I saw that, Like, just you know, whether it's it's 1702 01:20:16,160 --> 01:20:19,320 Speaker 3: the script, just the inaccuracy that we saw a week ago, 1703 01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:23,760 Speaker 3: it crept in and maybe I you gotta be with 1704 01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:28,280 Speaker 3: me on this.

No, it does, 1707 01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:33,679 Speaker 2: because it just needs to be done. 1708 01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:38,200 Speaker 3: And and and we're talking about JJ McCarthy and Max Brosmer. 1709 01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:39,519 Speaker 2: As your backup into the Detroit game. 1710 01:20:39,560 --> 01:20:42,519 Speaker 3: I just, I honestly believe that this this just needs 1711 01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:45,719 Speaker 3: to end, and that is the humane way to treat 1712 01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:49,080 Speaker 3: Carson Wentz, by the way, who is having to peel 1713 01:20:49,200 --> 01:20:53,200 Speaker 3: himself off the turf.

It's like, we always 1736 01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:43,760 Speaker 15: got to go to the sticks.

They're 1742 01:21:56,800 --> 01:21:59,000 Speaker 15: just looking off to the right, and there's two D 1743 01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:01,960 Speaker 15: like three D lineman about to kill their quarterback and 1744 01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:03,880 Speaker 15: they're just looking off to the right watching TJ. 1745 01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:05,679 Speaker 2: Howkinson run nowhere. 1746 01:22:06,240 --> 01:22:08,920 Speaker 15: And then the two receivers to the left, there's a 1747 01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:12,439 Speaker 15: it's cover two the middle of the field Nordoh yeh, 1748 01:22:12,920 --> 01:22:14,920 Speaker 15: I could have got open in the middle of the 1749 01:22:14,960 --> 01:22:15,719 Speaker 15: field on this one. 1750 01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:16,639 Speaker 2: Well, you're a red zone. 1751 01:22:16,720 --> 01:22:19,400 Speaker 15: I don't understand why you're not running some type of 1752 01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:22,000 Speaker 15: quick underneath slant in the mid and then let the 1753 01:22:22,040 --> 01:22:24,960 Speaker 15: receiver is Jordan Addison at that Let Jordan Adison go 1754 01:22:25,040 --> 01:22:27,839 Speaker 15: run and get you fifteen yards.
