McCarthy is the play leave play 9 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: leave forever? And see can we finally nail more draft 10 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: picks and have them help post haste and for years 11 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: to come in? 12 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 2: Good morning, yeah, and good morning. 13 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 3: You hate question marks, right, like you want to go 14 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 3: into an off season with you know, a direct line 15 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 3: to what's gonna work, what's gonna make you a playoff 16 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 3: team again? So as a fan, the fan side of 17 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 3: things for me is like I hate all the question marks, 18 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 3: especially on the defensive line. You look at like a 19 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 3: Jordan Addison, You look at Jalen Naylor, what's gonna happen 20 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 3: with CJ. 21 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 2: Hamm probably retiring? 22 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 3: So there's just like so many question marks going in 23 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 3: to an offseason, which which I don't like as a fan. 24 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 3: But then I look on the other side of trying 25 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 3: to be positive and hey, we got a lot of 26 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 3: things moving forward for us that that are in place 27 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 3: that as a Vikings fan you got to like. And 28 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 3: and Brian Floor is obviously another question mark, but the 29 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,639 Speaker 3: defense was so good, especially these last couple of games, 30 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 3: and if you can find ways to retain that, look 31 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 3: at Dallas Turner the jump he made. So I hate 32 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 3: the question marks, but I'm positive moving forward. 33 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 2: So with Pete. 34 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: Carroll being fired as a coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, 35 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders are going to have to pay 36 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: him a handsome sum for the two years he won't 37 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: be part of the program. But Tom Brady having say 38 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: within the Raiders management and organization and being a part owner, 39 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 1: do we believe Brian Flores has a chance or legitimate 40 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: chance to become the head coach at either Las Vegas, Cleveland, Atlanta, Tennessee. 41 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll put the Giants in there, but that's a 42 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,679 Speaker 2: zero right here. What do you all think? 43 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, the Cardinals are now part of that as well. 44 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, then Jonathan Gannon got next, Oh wow, about five 45 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 2: minutes ago. 46 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, you got to look at names like you know, 47 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 3: Cliff Kingsbury, you got to look at Brian Dable. I 48 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 3: think maybe Vance Joseph, some of some of the names 49 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 3: that pop out to me. 50 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 2: Like the Giants might hire Mike McCarthy. 51 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, literally, Well now Pete Carroll's available, Pee Carroll is available. 52 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 4: Well, and you got Across. I mean, one of those 53 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 4: jobs should go to Stefanski. Like, can I be confident 54 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 4: enough in saying that Kevin, whatever the openings are, right, 55 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 4: Stefanski has to be tapped for one of them. 56 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, Stefanski has at least a year left on a deal, 57 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 1: a new deal that he signed into last year. So 58 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: Jimmy Haslam, owner of the Cleveland Browns, Many, he's hoping 59 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: Kevin gets a new job, you. 60 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 3: Know, definitely, And that the thing I look at is 61 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 3: the Max Crosby bit, Like does Brian Flores look at 62 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 3: that and say, oh, we got to stud in Max 63 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 3: Crosby and they go there and find ways to bring 64 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 3: my defensive prows over there. Vance Joseph, like I mentioned, 65 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 3: I think that's another name Broncos DC. So we would 66 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,839 Speaker 3: hate to we would hate to see him leave, right like, 67 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 3: like we love what he's done with our defense, but 68 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 3: at the same time give him credit and he's gonna 69 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 3: have to make the best decision for him and his family. 70 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: Well, clearly you don't like this uncertainty. Yeah, and we're 71 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: going to be back together again on Wednesday, probably out 72 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: of the gate. 73 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 2: So as as your mood settles. 74 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: With this off season uncertainty, one thing that I know 75 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: is not uncertainty with you death taxes. And Andrew Van 76 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: Ginkel sniffing out a screen like that on somebody. Somebody 77 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: puts that out on the social media machine yesterday, didn't they? 78 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: Oh I was excellent. I just I am such an 79 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: Andrew Van Ginkle fan. I mean, I love our linebacking corps, 80 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: especially with just the way it's developed. Blake Cashman being 81 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: a Gopher. 82 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 3: Like loved watching him through his Gopher career and then 83 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 3: onto the Vikings now. But Andrew Van Ginkel, it's just 84 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 3: the intelligence he plays with is so next level. I 85 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 3: think you got to give him credit for his his 86 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 3: film work, his study work. He clearly knows what teams 87 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 3: are doing on the offensive side of the football, and 88 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 3: and he just sniffs it out and he just continues 89 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 3: to make plays. And he's a guy that I think 90 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 3: all Vikings fans look at is like this is the 91 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 3: epitome epitoment where am. 92 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 2: I going here? Nailed it first time? 93 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 3: I think I did, But that's exactly what you want 94 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 3: from a linebacking corps, and so I think you got 95 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 3: to give Andrew Van Ginkle a lot of credit for 96 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 3: what he's done. But the linebacking corps in general, they've 97 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 3: been just a highlight of of what Vikings defense is 98 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 3: all about. 99 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: Uh now with with the with the college football team, 100 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 1: can you learn in sports minds? Get me up to 101 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: speed on this Koy Parrige thing. I mean, like like, okay, 102 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: Koi Perrige, like his representation or him like I'm going 103 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: to enter the transfer portal. 104 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't know if you can now or 105 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 2: like you got to wait or whatever. But like he. 106 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: Hasn't, right, Yeah, I mean so then I saw something 107 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: where it's like is this a leveraging ploy to get 108 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: more nil money from this market? And damn man, I 109 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: mean I'm sure that this has happened a million times 110 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: and like I'm the only one that missed it. But 111 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: I mean, now, are we going so professional on this thing? 112 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,239 Speaker 1: This is not a KOI. This is just the system 113 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: where you're playing school against school. Holy exactly what it is. Yeah, 114 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: it's not. 115 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 3: And you hate to see the fans turn on him, 116 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 3: like I've seen some some pretty mean tweets. Really, yeah, 117 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 3: I've seen some kind of disgusting stuff on social media. 118 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 2: Away, did he not have a great year. 119 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 3: He didn't have He didn't have the year he had 120 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 3: his freshman year, right, he had all those interceptions. His 121 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 3: freshman year was the All American He just he didn't 122 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 3: come up with those big time plays and big time situations. Now, 123 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 3: he had a solid year. He made plays, he was 124 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 3: flying all over the field. They tried him on an 125 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 3: offense a little bit didn't work the way I think 126 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 3: they wanted it to work. 127 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 2: I think that's part of the problem. 128 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 4: I think you're exactly right now, is they tried to 129 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 4: They tried to go Travis Hunter on this bit, or 130 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 4: at least pushing a direction to put him there. 131 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: Let me ask a dumb question. I don't think it 132 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 2: worked out well, all right. 133 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: Let mean this is potentially a dumb question because PJ 134 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: is not in the business of like acquiescing to desires 135 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: and feelings at the expense of winning games. Yeah, but 136 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: I'm just wondering with koy Perrits playing some offense, and 137 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: he wanted to play some offense. He wants to play 138 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 1: some offense. Yeah, well we're going to do this because 139 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: we don't want to make sure Coy stays. Oh you 140 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, I do. Yeah, definitely. So I 141 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 1: don't think that's a dumb question. I just don't. 142 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 4: I wouldn't be able to verify that in terms of 143 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 4: how much the leverage again because of the portal, because 144 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 4: of oh my goodness, nil cash here, and then let's 145 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 4: just let's let's let's give maybe one of our best players, 146 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 4: our most talented players, as many opportunities as possible to 147 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 4: impact the game in a positive way. 148 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: So you work today, right, Yeah, well you're going to 149 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: Minneapolis First Resource Bank, find the banker Tim, that's right, 150 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: Uncle Jim Siegely, Uncle Tim, and telling him it's three 151 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: hundred grand a minimum for Koy perriche now, or you're 152 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: walking out and turning down the job. 153 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think that number is north of 154 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 3: the seven figures. Now, that's a that's a big that's 155 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 3: a big number for number three. You know, it's such 156 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 3: a weird situation because he's a Minnesota guy.

He's a proud Minnesota But I think 161 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 3: now it's just changed, right, Like it's a truly a 162 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 3: professional look on things, with the agencies, with the with 163 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 3: the way the transfer portal works. It's kind of like 164 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 3: a win wind type of thing for him where he 165 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 3: can come back or he could, you know, leverage himself 166 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 3: for more money type of situation. So I, like I 167 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 3: mentioned right away, stop going on Twitter and X and 168 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 3: all these social medias and ragging on the kid, because 169 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 3: it's not the approach to take to it if you 170 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 3: truly want him back, like show the support for him. 171 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 2: I think that's the way you have to look at it. 172 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:21,559 Speaker 5: Well, And I can't. 173 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 2: I can't be down on him. 174 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 4: I just think about if I was nineteen or twenty 175 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 4: whatever age he is now through two seasons and I 176 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 4: don't know what he's making as part of the Minnesota 177 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 4: Gophers in terms of the nil and all that, But 178 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 4: if somebody truly walked up to me and now I 179 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 4: have an agent and they're like, all right, you're making 180 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 4: a hundred grand or whatever it is here, they're going 181 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 4: to give you a million dollars. And sure you aren't 182 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 4: going to be playing wide receiver where we're going to 183 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 4: end that, You're just going to go be one of 184 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 4: the best defensive backs at this and you're going to 185 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 4: make seven figures. By the way, there's like a six 186 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 4: percent chance that you're going to last in the NFL. 187 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 4: You're going to make seven figures right now and we'll 188 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 4: continue for the rest of your college career. How could 189 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 4: you not be enticed by that? 190 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: And if somebody is willing to exponentially pay more than 191 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: he's getting here, yeah, well then I'm going to guess 192 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: that's a team that, with respect, has a better chance 193 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: to get to the college football playoff system than than. 194 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 2: We do here in Dinky Town. Yeah. 195 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 3: I've seen no I've seen Miami, I've seen Indiana, I've 196 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 3: seen Ohio State. 197 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 2: Those are three programs that are. 198 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 4: Isn't there a former Gophers coach that's somewhere else now 199 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,719 Speaker 4: that might be trying to court him? 200 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 2: I think you're right. I think he might be down 201 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 2: in Miami. Is it is it Heatherman? Maybe? 202 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 6: Oh? 203 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 2: Wow? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, Corey Heatherman. Yeah, he's got 204 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 2: the wheels really Yeah. Yeah, that's the Canes in the 205 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 2: final four. The ex Machine is saying here, Kan's. 206 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,719 Speaker 1: Favored by like a touchdown overall, Miss Indiana favored by 207 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: four over ore again. 208 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, knees look good. It's looking to be an IU 209 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 3: Miami final. 210 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: The the Minnesota Timberwolves, as order mentioned during news do 211 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: Nizzle killed the Washington Wizard yes day. I wrote this 212 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: down in anticipation of you being here Monday over the weekend, 213 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: and it's from a story at the Athletic co written 214 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: by Johnny Athletic John Krasinski. He was not on the 215 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: Miami trip, so therefore somebody based in Miami wrote part 216 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: of the story too. But the Wolves related quotes were 217 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 1: generated by Johnny Athletic and including two polarizing quotes after 218 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: they embarrassed themselves against Atlanta. But I'm just gonna hit 219 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: on one of them with Pa Fox right now at 220 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: Parker Fox two four, paraphrasing after the Timberwolves got blown 221 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 1: out by a raggedy not raggedy Jalen Johnson's high end 222 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: but a mediocre at best Atlanta Hawks team Anthony Edwards 223 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: basically said, we barely run the plays we are given 224 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: to us, but when we do, they work and we're 225 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,199 Speaker 1: tough to beat. All right now, FINCHI joins nine to 226 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: noon tomorrow at nine am. So that's absolutely part of 227 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 1: the mix. But like Anthony saying, we barely run what 228 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: plays are given to it is that commonplace. 229 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 2: I think in the NBA a little bit. 230 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 3: You look at you know, I feel like I talk 231 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 3: all the time about eighty two games. You know, it's 232 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 3: hard to stay within a system for that long. But 233 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 3: I think Ant is right, like you have to now 234 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 3: you don't have to have set plays every single time 235 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 3: down the court, but you have to have concepts. You 236 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 3: have to have concepts of what you're doing offensively. And 237 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 3: when you have a guy like Rudy Gobert who offensively 238 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 3: rebounds so well, it's such a big part of his game, 239 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 3: Like you don't want him sitting around the perimeter like 240 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 3: a Draymond Green might do. So you have to continue 241 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 3: to have these concepts of pin down situations for Ant, 242 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 3: getting isolation situations when you have a ball handling four 243 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 3: in Julius Randall. So you have to figure out ways 244 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 3: where your concepts work and That doesn't mean that you're 245 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 3: setting up a play every single time down the court. 246 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,719 Speaker 3: There's a twenty four second shot clock. You got to 247 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 3: get things in motion faster. You got to try to 248 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 3: get on in transition. So there's a lot of things 249 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 3: going on in a basketball game. But I think Ant's 250 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 3: right is you have to have those concepts set and 251 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 3: you have to find ways to stick by them. 252 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 2: So Finch, I'm trying to find the exact quote. 253 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: So Finch is talking about connectivity or lack thereof. Anthony 254 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: Edwards left the bench before the game was over, classic 255 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: then didn't speak to the media. That's that's that's rare 256 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 1: for Anthony to do that. But here it is quote 257 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: the game changer. I mean, I feel like we can 258 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: beat everybody, but if we play to a certain level. Yeah, 259 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: I feel like we can beat everyone. Sometimes we play 260 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: to that level, sometimes we don't. If we play to 261 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: this level. Right here, Nas plays how he played Jade 262 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 1: and Dante bones, I feel we can hang with the 263 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: best of them. Then he goes on to say pretty 264 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: much what I mentioned earlier about most of the time. 265 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, So de Vincenzo and Edwards have both said 266 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: the responsibility lies on their shoulders. Quote Anthony, most of 267 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: the time we just don't listen to the game plan. 268 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: When we listen to it and execute it, we're pretty good. Yeah, 269 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: what the hell was that? I think that goes back 270 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 1: to the old Mike Tomlin. The standard is the standard 271 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: type of bit, do you know what I mean? Like 272 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: you have to come out and you can't find ways 273 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,559 Speaker 1: to play to your opponents. 274 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 2: The NBA is too good. 275 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 3: There's too many good players throughout this league, and you 276 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 3: have to find ways to come and play your game. 277 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 3: And I think, you know, some of the scouting and 278 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 3: some of the you know, the film stuff goes by 279 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 3: the wayside when you're on the road and you're traveling 280 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 3: and it's hard to you know, you're playing four games 281 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,439 Speaker 3: on the road and you're trying to decipher between each 282 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 3: team and the whole bit. But I think Ant's right 283 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 3: is if you're playing the way you're supposed to be playing, 284 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 3: and if you're locked into the little things, that you're 285 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 3: gonna find ways to win because you have enough talent, 286 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 3: you have enough depth. So I think that's something the 287 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 3: timberlves if Ant's truly speaking the truth, like you got 288 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 3: to realize that and then it's got to be an 289 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 3: eighty two game thing. 290 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 2: My brother, we will see you on Wednesday, and thanks 291 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 2: for the time. 292 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: Thank you, appreciate it.

Following the fifth consecutive victory Viking season over 301 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: Green Bay played a bunch of backups they go to 302 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: the postseason next weekend started with THEO Jackson safety for 303 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: the Vikings. I'm like, nine to eight, what do you think? 304 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 7: You know, it was definitely a season that we didn't 305 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 7: plan on having. You know, I feel like we had 306 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 7: a lot of growth since since the start of the season. 307 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 7: To finish off this way, you know, I feel like 308 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 7: that we're going in the right direction. 309 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 5: For next year. 310 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: And the Vikings beat Green Bay by thirteen to close. 311 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: Festivity it's very emotional with Kevin the coach taking a 312 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: time out so Harrison Smith can get that ovation. And 313 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: just like the Lions game, you guys went to loving 314 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: on him on the sideline. You know, if this is 315 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: it for Harrison Smith, you being a safety? What what 316 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: have you learned from him? 317 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 4: Like? 318 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 2: What? What? What? What can you model after the way 319 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 2: he plays? 320 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 4: Uh? 321 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 7: Honestly, it's kind of hard to model to to, but 322 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 7: you know, just I feel like just the way he 323 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 7: thinks about the game, you know, the way he moves 324 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 7: during during the game. I feel like I've picked up 325 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 7: a lot on that and you know, just really just 326 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 7: trusting what you're saying. 327 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: And lastly, what about c J Ham? I mean CJ 328 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: got super emotional too at the end. Holy cow.
