You know, 45 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 4: at some point, not to distant futures, he will be 46 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 4: by far and away the best player in the league 47 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 4: with his impact on both sides of the ball. And 48 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 4: you can see him. You can see his game maturing, 49 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 4: and I think the thing that gives him such a 50 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 4: great foundation is he's always been a mature individual and 51 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 4: now you can see his game maturing alongside of his development. 52 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 4: So yeah, just he's an incredible athlete and it's amazing 53 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 4: to watch him play. 54 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: When when you go to the wild game tonight, perchance, 55 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: are you doing let's play hockey? 56 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, I'm not doing that.

Never done it. 63 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, well we we we put it out there now. 64 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: So if any constituents with the Wilder listening, uh I 65 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: ear Aaron Framan gets a text within the next twelve 66 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: or thirteen minutes, then apologies from yours truly. But with 67 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: the with the with the with the NBA Cup, Chris 68 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: minus the what I deem to be the ugly flowers 69 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: the courts and what they do with them? 70 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: Uh? 71 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 1: Is the NBA Cup of success in your estimation? 72 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 4: I think so I think it's been a success. I 73 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 4: believe that it's created a bit of early season urgency 74 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 4: for sure. Uh. You know, I would say a lot 75 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 4: of fans still don't understand the format, but once they 76 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 4: get once they get on, you know, around their head 77 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 4: around these winner go home style games, which we don't 78 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 4: often see in the n b A. You know, I 79 00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 4: think the intensity and the purpose of the uh of 80 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 4: the games takes on a heightened meaning. You know, I 81 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 4: like that, And you know, it's just I wish they 82 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 4: would realign it along divisions that would make sense to me. 83 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 4: And you know, I understand why they don't. They won't. 84 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 4: They don't want these imbalance of good, you know, good 85 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 4: and not so good teams. But you know, like our 86 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 4: division would be super tough with Denver, Oklahoma City, ourselves. 87 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 4: But it is what it is. You know, every year 88 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 4: it's gonna be a little bit different. But I think 89 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 4: it gives some geographical meaning. I think it makes sense 90 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 4: for travel. That's the one thing. One of the downsides 91 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 4: about the Cup is what it does to your schedule. 92 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 4: It creates a bit of an accordion in your schedule. 93 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 4: You have these gaps where you don't play and then 94 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 4: you'll play a bunch of games in a short period 95 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 4: of time. 96 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 2: But then but the. 97 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 4: Real problem is, like you have to zigzag all over 98 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 4: the country to try to play your Cup games. And 99 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 4: I do think if we did it geographically, it would 100 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 4: make a little bit more sense for us from a 101 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 4: travel point of view. 102 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad you're going to the wild game tonight. 103 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: And now we you know, we go back to the 104 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: second question about our first question. You're going to watch 105 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 1: that thing tonight between the Nicks and the Spurs. I 106 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: would imagine as a head coach of an NBA team 107 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: with a game tomorrow night, you're you're probably the last 108 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: one to get with like be like, hey, Micah, hey Pablo, 109 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: guys want to come over to my place and have 110 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: some appetizers and a couple of drinks and watch an 111 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: NBA game? 112 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I I uh, well, first of all, 113 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 4: we have a great staff. I know they'll be all 114 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 4: over the games preparing. We have these two teams coming 115 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 4: up here in the near future. I think with the 116 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 4: NIXT next week in fact, Oh yeah, and uh, you know, generally, 117 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 4: of course I'm going to lock in on our opponent 118 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 4: and our preparation is always on point, and we go 119 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 4: through it, you know, step by step, and I'll get 120 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 4: my eyes on those guys right before we play them. 121 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 4: But you know, my job is primarily worry about us, 122 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 4: you know, I worry about what's going on inside the 123 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 4: tim rules and how I tried to inwardly focus while 124 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 4: the rest of our staff might outwardly focus. 125 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: Hey, off the beaten path for a second, and you 126 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: do get the NIXT next week.

Yeah, he can guard one through five 136 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 4: legitimately at a super high level. When we were there, 137 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 4: the one night he would guard uh, Damian Lillard. The 138 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 4: next night he would guard Giannis. Yeah, it was. It 139 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 4: was pretty incredible to watch his versatility. Yeah. 140 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: Do you do you remember much of when Kevin Garnett, 141 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: you know, played early kind of in the early stages 142 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: of his career here. 143 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 4: I don't remember him much as an earlier, younger player, 144 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 4: to be quite honest with Yeah, I was in Europe 145 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 4: a lot during that time, so but but yeah. 146 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, The reason I brought it up is is you 147 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: just reminded me with the Lillard and Giannis comparison. Is 148 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: like when the Wolves went to the playoffs with was 149 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: spree Well and Cassel and they had a really good 150 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: team with KG and and they would play the Dallas Mavericks. 151 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: I mean, he would shut down Dirk Novitsky. Then then 152 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: the Wisconsin Badger Michael Finley would get hot, and then 153 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: and then flip god rest his soul would put KG 154 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: on Finley and he'd handle him on the perimeter. 155 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 2: It was terrific. 156 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we have a little bit of that luxury 157 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 4: with Jayden. You know, Jayden can guard a lot of 158 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 4: different guys. You know, some of the some of the 159 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 4: super strong and DC guys might might give him a 160 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 4: little bit more trouble, but he's he's, you know, a 161 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 4: weapon defensively, when you have a guy who can can 162 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 4: go guard multiple positions with great length and then you know, 163 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 4: be able to kind of just move them around in 164 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 4: a game as you need to. 165 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: Uh.

You know, they played 188 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 4: with great pace, Uh, do a lot of things that 189 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,599 Speaker 4: you know, you see a lot of teams doing in 190 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 4: this league. They they kind of retooled their offense a 191 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 4: little bit. So Jaron Jackson Junior is a little bit 192 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 4: more at the heart of it. 193 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: How how is Edward's foot and do you expect to 194 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: have him like tomorrow or soon? 195 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's definitely improving.

But he was able to to move 199 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 4: around get up some shots yesterday, so we're headed in 200 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 4: the right direction. But I'm not sure of exact return 201 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 4: and return time just yet. 202 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: And and Chris with Rudy Gobert obviously not searching for details, 203 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: but is everything okay? 204 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 2: And do you expect him back tomorrow? 205 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 3: Oh? 206 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, everything's okay, Uh, right with Rudy. So 207 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 4: he'll be back today and in the lineup tomorrow. And 208 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 4: you know, he's been having a phenomenal season for US 209 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 4: so far, and it's been fun to watch him play 210 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 4: with the energy and activity that he has been playing with. 211 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: Do you do you ever fatigue of constant questions about say, 212 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,559 Speaker 1: Clark Dillingham and or Shannon Junior and other minutes? 213 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 4: Now now, I mean, listen, I understand. Uh, you know, 214 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 4: I understand, but you know why people are asking. Uh, 215 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 4: And you know, I give a pretty good long answer 216 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 4: about it the other day after the games. I don't 217 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 4: think I need to go through it all again. It's 218 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 4: just to say that, you know, this is part of 219 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 4: the you know, the the dual track of trying to 220 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 4: win every single night with the team that's you know, 221 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,199 Speaker 4: I wouldn't even say we're you know, kind of we're 222 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 4: certainly not in our prime. Like we have a bunch 223 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 4: of our young core is still twenty four to twenty 224 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 4: five years old, which is, you know, still a couple 225 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 4: of years before they're quote unquote prime. And then we 226 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 4: got a couple of vets to round out the rest 227 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 4: of it. But uh, and then we got a bunch 228 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 4: of young guys in the second basically in their second year, 229 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 4: and you know, trying to We're trying to accomplish all things, 230 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 4: and it's a it's a delicate balance. We're trying to 231 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 4: thread this needle and we know there's gonna be inconsistencies 232 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 4: from that part of the roster and we just can't 233 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 4: give them. We just can't gift them, you know, twenty 234 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 4: five minutes a night. We don't a have that in 235 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 4: our Like if you map out all the roles in 236 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 4: the minutes for everyone, those minus would have to come 237 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 4: at the expense of somebody else. And it's not like 238 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 4: somebody's playing forty minutes a night. So you know, it's 239 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 4: it's it's you know, the role, the role is what 240 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 4: it is. It's it's small, and but it's their job 241 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 4: to to really kind of nail that role right now 242 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 4: and and then we'll grow. 243 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 2: It from there. 244 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: Well, off, one thing you did say the other night, 245 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 1: and and I got the quote from Johnny Athletic Story 246 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: Krasinski at the Athletic and the Athletic Dot Com with 247 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: with the second year guys, when you say with three games, 248 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: like a three game sample, uh, you hope to get 249 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: one good game, one not so good one stinker. 250 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 2: What what plays into that? 251 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's just that's just the nature of a PA. 252 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 4: This inconsistency of young players. I think that you know 253 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 4: to be to be a young player, and you know, 254 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 4: when things start to take root for you, it's it's 255 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 4: the consistency of your play. Knowing every single night you 256 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 4: can repeat what you're able to do, uh to to 257 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 4: some sort of level of success where it becomes reliable. 258 00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 2: And that's that's what drives. 259 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 4: Confidence, Like you know, I know, confidence that has to 260 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 4: be given to the players for them to go out 261 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 4: and play well. That confidence is expressed by us, the 262 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 4: coaching staff, by playing them every night, irrespective of maybe 263 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 4: how they played the night before. But the real confidence 264 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 4: comes from being able to repeat things and getting confidence 265 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 4: that you can repeat thing and and that's you know, 266 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 4: that's the NBA is a tough proving grounds for for 267 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 4: young players at times, especially when you're on a team 268 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 4: such as ours, who's you know, the stakes are higher 269 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 4: and and you're surrounded by guys who you know who 270 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 4: who you're You're out there at the expense of maybe 271 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 4: they're minutes, and they're very accomplished and they're very consistent. 272 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: Well with with with with the three we mentioned, the 273 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: the one thing that perplexing would be too strong. But 274 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: like something that surprises me is like Karen Shannon Jr. 275 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: I mean, he tears up Oklahoma City, maybe the best 276 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: of all team in the NBA. I mean, he tears 277 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: them up every time he plays them. But but then 278 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: isn't consistent in the other games? Is Is that what 279 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: you're saying here? 280 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean like one hundred percent what I'm saying, 281 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 4: But it doesn't. It doesn't. I kind of remove the 282 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 4: opponent a little bit. I mean, I think there are 283 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 4: reasons why that he plays better against the Okay See 284 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 4: than some of the other teams. But but yeah, just 285 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 4: it doesn't. It shouldn't matter who you're playing. Yeah, you 286 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 4: should be able to kind of have that level of performance. 287 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 4: You know. No, TJ's inconsistency is often driven by his 288 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 4: fouling on defense, Like he's often in foul trouble or 289 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 4: you know, has issues at that end of the word. He's 290 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 4: got got to learn to play so that works through us. 291 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 4: Be there's no no different than what we see in 292 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 4: the NFL with young quarterbacks. Like what's the consistency of 293 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 4: a young quarterback in the NFL? Once it becomes you know, 294 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 4: once you rely on what you're me get. You can 295 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 4: game fan around that, you know, whether what you have 296 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 4: to do to help him further or protect him. 297 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a good answer. I appreciate you on that. 298 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: Just two more here for Chris Finch, the thunder here 299 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: Friday night.

Uh, 677 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 1: the the O nine NFC title game at New Orleans. 678 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: That'd be one just to break down what the I 679 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 1: think it was Bobby Cray and not Aching Adell. It 680 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 1: was one of the Adel's and the hot the designed 681 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: cheating high lows on Brett BarreR. You know, just like 682 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: you could literally break down what I like, find a 683 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 1: story and this may take six hours, find a story, 684 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: screenshot it, show the story about the high low. 685 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 2: And then show us what a high low is. I'm 686 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 2: sure the league would love me doing that. Goodness, I 687 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 2: know we're six and eight. 688 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,800 Speaker 3: Here do we have to live in misery? 689 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 1: Minneapolis Miracle absolutely seventeen oh at halftime. Uh, and then 690 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: we have a replacement long snapper who blows it. They 691 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 1: block a punt and then they're in business. 692 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 2: Here's the deal. Like I would love to do that. 693 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 5: Just just the last series in that that play that 694 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 5: Digs caught for the touchdown, they ran it almost like 695 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 5: the third time in that drive that they ran it, 696 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 5: at least the second or third, because it was that's 697 00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:58,439 Speaker 5: about all they had. 698 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:00,320 Speaker 2: And that was the reason. 699 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 5: I can't remember to get the kid's name, but that's 700 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 5: why he got there so early and then had to 701 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 5: make it Marcus William whether that I'm going to run 702 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 5: into Digs and get a penalty or you know what 703 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,839 Speaker 5: it's it's he he'd seen it three times and say okay, 704 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 5: I'm here and then said I'm too early and then wow, 705 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 5: missed them ball catch gone. 706 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 1: And and there never would have been a Minneapolis Miracle 707 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 1: moment if like either the series before or maybe two 708 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 1: before that for Peyton and the Saints, they they tried 709 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,760 Speaker 1: a running back pass I think with Kamara to Willie 710 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:40,799 Speaker 1: Snead and and Snead's wide open for a first down. 711 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 1: If they get that first down, we're in deep water, man. 712 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 1: But they didn't close on it. All those things, it 713 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,720 Speaker 1: just shows you the things like the the three game 714 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: at Arizona with Josh McCown and Nathan Poole all of 715 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 1: the and Pete was a linebackers coach for the Vikings 716 00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 1: at that time. Everything that had to connect. They had 717 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,480 Speaker 1: to get a two point conversion from a tight end 718 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 1: who had one catch all year, and they got it. 719 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,839 Speaker 1: Klein Saucer has to have an on side kick go 720 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 1: through his hands and they have. 721 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:12,799 Speaker 2: To recover it. Then they got to get like the 722 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 2: fourth and twenty six. I mean, you can do. 723 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,320 Speaker 5: Far the fire to Greg Lewis thing. I mean there's 724 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,919 Speaker 5: you know, I would love to break down every run 725 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:21,279 Speaker 5: that Adrian had against. 726 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,279 Speaker 1: The Chargers m that game the two ninety six ninety six, 727 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 1: I mean that was get this going.

That would definitely 732 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 2: get us out of this building. Maybe get a little. 733 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,759 Speaker 3: Seed money from the from the squad and suddenly you 734 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:42,360 Speaker 3: got to produce. 735 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,799 Speaker 1: Yeaheah, hey, look look at them come in here at 736 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,720 Speaker 1: Pete Versuge five six the sky on YouTube. 737 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,840 Speaker 5: Let's go tell Nordo's living in a gig economy. 738 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 1: All right, that's Pete Versage analysts for the Vikings Radio Network. 739 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,880 Speaker 1: We have some bikes bikes around the corner.

Thousand Hills Pete news news coming out yesterday. 751 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 2: Jonathan Grenard his season is going to be over. 752 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,560 Speaker 3: He's going to have shoulder surgery, and this is clearly 753 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,320 Speaker 3: something that he fought through. 754 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:03,920 Speaker 2: And my first Vike bite's kind of simple. 755 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 3: You know, you see a guy that goes from double 756 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 3: digit sacks to just two or three I think it's three. 757 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,879 Speaker 3: But the other aspects in which he was impacting the game, 758 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 3: how do you parse through that to really kind of 759 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 3: just determine how good and how important Jonathan Grenard was 760 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 3: to the team this year. 761 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,360 Speaker 5: Well, I've I've said it a couple of times. I 762 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,759 Speaker 5: think he's the best defender on the field, one of 763 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 5: the best players. He's the best defensive player that we 764 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 5: have on the field, mainly because of his ability to 765 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 5: rush to pass or consistently. 766 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:34,760 Speaker 2: There was a play. 767 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 5: And against Dallas where he was supposed to rush off 768 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 5: the edge and I think he saw the formation and 769 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,440 Speaker 5: everything that was happening and then just basically stopped and 770 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,920 Speaker 5: then you know, he was he was on his way, 771 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,640 Speaker 5: stopped and then worked his way out to the flat 772 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,399 Speaker 5: because he identified what was going on around him, and 773 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,279 Speaker 5: it ended up being an incomplete pass. It's he's just 774 00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 5: so smart, so good, works so hard. He should have 775 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 5: at least six or seven sacks this year if he 776 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,320 Speaker 5: would just you know, make the tackle. 777 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 3: He's like top five and pressures and maybe top five 778 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 3: in almost sacks exactly. 779 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 5: I would if I had a chance to sit down 780 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,239 Speaker 5: with them now or interview him, I'd say, this has 781 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 5: been like the most frustrating year for you. 782 00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:16,799 Speaker 2: He'd be like why. 783 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,280 Speaker 5: I'm like, because you've been to the quarterback like six 784 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,439 Speaker 5: times and just that's the hard part is getting there 785 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 5: right and then not not finishing the deal. But yeah, 786 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,279 Speaker 5: shoulders are Shoulders are funky, and I'm glad to see 787 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 5: that he's getting it fixed because I know I had 788 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 5: one back in the day and just kind of went 789 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,839 Speaker 5: with it and it's just never it's never the same again. 790 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,480 Speaker 5: Shoulders are worse than knees in my opinion, as far 791 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:44,400 Speaker 5: as just the whole, the whole bit. Anybody's had shoulder 792 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 5: surgery and had to sleep on an armchair knows exactly 793 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 5: what you're talking about, because. 794 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,280 Speaker 2: You can't lay down, you can't. It sucks. 795 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 5: But Grenard is He's Yeah, what am I gonna say? 796 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,839 Speaker 5: He's physical, plays the run so well, and I think 797 00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:03,719 Speaker 5: that that's been the part of Dallas Turner's game that's changed. 798 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 5: Where he's improved is his ability to play the run 799 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 5: because it's not like you just have a gap. Your 800 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:13,320 Speaker 5: job is to literally, if you have a tight end blocking, 801 00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 5: you destroy that tight end. Not just hold the edge, 802 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:17,640 Speaker 5: but you've got to be able to come off and 803 00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,280 Speaker 5: make a play when that when that running back cuts 804 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,239 Speaker 5: back inside because you're shorter guy in the box. It's 805 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 5: part of it's a it's a part of how we 806 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 5: do things, a big part of how we do things. 807 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:31,480 Speaker 5: And and Gernard could do it, then Ginkle can obviously 808 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 5: do it. But you need special this defense. You think 809 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,800 Speaker 5: about the names of the guys that we've that we've 810 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 5: brought in and you're like, huh, I mean you include 811 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,440 Speaker 5: Isaiah Rodgers in that. Right, it's day two signing the agency. 812 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,200 Speaker 5: Isaiah Rodgers. Everybody's like who And he's playing well. I mean, 813 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,799 Speaker 5: Josh Mantelis. Remember when we resigned him. I remember when 814 00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 5: we resigned him, And I came out here during a 815 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,760 Speaker 5: mini camp and I'm seeing him out there in third downs. 816 00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,480 Speaker 5: I'm like, Josh Mantelis is out there in third downs. 817 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,640 Speaker 5: But his ability to see talent and guys and know 818 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,120 Speaker 5: exactly where to fit him in his scheme. Jay Ward 819 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,360 Speaker 5: playing corner right, he may not be a corner, but 820 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,000 Speaker 5: he's playing corner in certain coverages right, certain looks, and 821 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,839 Speaker 5: he just knows how to do you know, he knows 822 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:17,919 Speaker 5: how to do that. But that's the benefit. The part 823 00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,400 Speaker 5: is is this defense has to have two outside linebackers 824 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,440 Speaker 5: that are ridiculous, ridiculously good. 825 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:24,839 Speaker 2: Right. 826 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,279 Speaker 5: We can get through with the Jonathan Bullards of the 827 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,280 Speaker 5: world at inside interior defensive tackle because you can rotate 828 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,400 Speaker 5: those guys in and out and down a distance, but 829 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,880 Speaker 5: those two outside linebackers have to be beasts, and Jonathan Garnard, 830 00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 5: in my opinion, is one of them. 831 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,960 Speaker 3: Whether you were a player or whether you were a coach, 832 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,240 Speaker 3: this time of year is when some of this stuff 833 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,720 Speaker 3: pops right right. Like Grenard was dealing with his shoulder injury. 834 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:47,760 Speaker 3: He was on the Power Trip morning show earlier today 835 00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 3: mentioned it kind of first happened in that Baltimore game, 836 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:52,680 Speaker 3: and I think he was out the next week, but 837 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:53,439 Speaker 3: he comes back. 838 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,880 Speaker 2: Guys that we know a lot of guys are hurting 839 00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:57,359 Speaker 2: right now. 840 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,399 Speaker 3: I'm just curious do people notice that in that mean 841 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 3: something within the frame of the team and the locker 842 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,879 Speaker 3: room understanding that this guy's fighting through his shoulders, say 843 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:08,920 Speaker 3: that guy's got a calf or a quad, et cetera. 844 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:13,000 Speaker 5: As a player, this is the last three weeks of 845 00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,919 Speaker 5: the season. You started feeling better because you went through 846 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:18,960 Speaker 5: training camp and then the opening of the season, and 847 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,480 Speaker 5: then as the season goes on, Denny would would you know, 848 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:25,319 Speaker 5: we practice in pads less and less and then by 849 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,760 Speaker 5: this time of year, you would actually start to feel better. 850 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,320 Speaker 5: Really you wouldn't. You know, you still have the nagging things, 851 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,279 Speaker 5: but you wouldn't be as beat up on a day 852 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,359 Speaker 5: to day basis. You should be able to practice now 853 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:40,080 Speaker 5: fifteen fourteen games into it without having to you know, 854 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,360 Speaker 5: the fundamentals should be there and all that. So we started, 855 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,840 Speaker 5: we we actually started. I remember we played the Steelers 856 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,560 Speaker 5: one time and I saw Jerome Bettis and Jerome ran 857 00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,279 Speaker 5: By and I you know, talked to him before the 858 00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:54,359 Speaker 5: game and you could smell the dmso on him, right, 859 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 5: you can just smell it on his breath, which sadante inflammatory, 860 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,160 Speaker 5: and it's you know, you're like, these guys are. 861 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,640 Speaker 2: Beat the you know, they're they're beat up badly. 862 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:07,560 Speaker 5: Uh, And we were feeling great, and so yeah, you 863 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 5: got to fight through. You have to fight through a 864 00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,080 Speaker 5: lot of that. A lot more guys than I are 865 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 5: these days. Then. I think even when I played, we 866 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,400 Speaker 5: didn't lose two three starters a year. You didn't have 867 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 5: short term r I and we didn't AXI squad. Yeah, 868 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,799 Speaker 5: we only had six people seven people I think on 869 00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,680 Speaker 5: the practice squad six at the time. And the eligibility 870 00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:26,920 Speaker 5: was way different. You had to be a one rookie year, 871 00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,080 Speaker 5: first year player. He couldn't be a two, three, four, 872 00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,560 Speaker 5: you know. It's it's which I think is good. I 873 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,400 Speaker 5: think that's good for the league that to do that 874 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:38,480 Speaker 5: because guys can stick around longer. But yeah, the injuries, 875 00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,719 Speaker 5: it's a different game. It's more athletic, right, I mean 876 00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:43,920 Speaker 5: they don't they're not as physical as they used to be. 877 00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,640 Speaker 5: So fundamentals have suffered from back in the old you know, 878 00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 5: back in the old days, you never you never saw 879 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,799 Speaker 5: an offensive line changing. Back in the day, you had 880 00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:57,240 Speaker 5: the same five dudes out there every single week. 881 00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:58,279 Speaker 2: That's how it was. 882 00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,080 Speaker 5: In your ability to stay healthy through he's and is 883 00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,600 Speaker 5: what got you on the field. If teams teams would, 884 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,719 Speaker 5: they'd love your athleticism. They'd have a guy that's unbelievable, 885 00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:08,399 Speaker 5: but they'd be like, hey, you know, he gets hurt 886 00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,200 Speaker 5: a lot. He misses two three weeks here in a 887 00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,040 Speaker 5: week there, And yeah, we're not gonna deal with it. Right, 888 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:13,120 Speaker 5: We're not gonna deal with it. We're not going to 889 00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 5: pay a guy that kind of money not be on 890 00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,080 Speaker 5: the field. Once you got paid in the league, you 891 00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,839 Speaker 5: played once, if you were if you if you got 892 00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,680 Speaker 5: a big contract, you're on the field, dude, the show. 893 00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,160 Speaker 5: I don't care if your wing is. You're out there 894 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:28,120 Speaker 5: because we paid you. So in that regard, it's gotten 895 00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,960 Speaker 5: a lot better for the players, no question about it. 896 00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:34,560 Speaker 5: And yeah I don't I don't hesitate to remind. 897 00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,359 Speaker 2: Him to talk to them. 898 00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:38,520 Speaker 5: You know, you give them the old I mean when 899 00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:42,480 Speaker 5: I got here, it was guys like lertsmah uh and 900 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:46,759 Speaker 5: you know those guys might uh boom boom brown uh Studwell, 901 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:48,839 Speaker 5: those are the guys that would want to the locker room, 902 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 5: and you know they tell you about the old days 903 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:52,959 Speaker 5: and blah blah blah. We're like, yeah, you guys drank 904 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,960 Speaker 5: beer all week and then played benied up and went 905 00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,800 Speaker 5: on the field and played right, no problem, Dave Casper, 906 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:04,960 Speaker 5: and you know those guys, uh so yeah, and now 907 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,839 Speaker 5: you know nowadays it's it's Uh, it's a lot different, man. 908 00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:11,719 Speaker 2: They they take care of themselves, they eat better. I mean, 909 00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,640 Speaker 2: my god, it is a different universe. Yeah, it's completely 910 00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,000 Speaker 2: those guys have to feel good. 911 00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,040 Speaker 3: Where are we at with JJ McCarthy coming off the 912 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,160 Speaker 3: you know, now two starts in a row where we've 913 00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:25,560 Speaker 3: seen some really positive increases to the productivity, some of 914 00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:29,239 Speaker 3: the accuracy, some of the inaccuracy is still there, but 915 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,239 Speaker 3: decision making processing and kind of the high of a 916 00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:34,800 Speaker 3: cool prime time victory. And now it's just a nooneer 917 00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:38,000 Speaker 3: out at at MetLife. Just you know, over the final three, 918 00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:39,200 Speaker 3: just your your thoughts on the car. 919 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,279 Speaker 5: That's that's gonna be interesting too. It's a it's a 920 00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:43,960 Speaker 5: nunear out at Met Life right against the team that's 921 00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:45,719 Speaker 5: one lost what six seven in a row? 922 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:46,520 Speaker 2: I think they have. 923 00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:50,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, and so how are you gonna look on that. 924 00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:52,759 Speaker 5: You're going to take the week off, You're gonna have 925 00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,960 Speaker 5: the same you know, same intensity and and and and 926 00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:57,960 Speaker 5: work ethic like you did. You can be as prepared 927 00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,600 Speaker 5: as you were for National TV on Sunday night against 928 00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,920 Speaker 5: a team that might still have a playoff you know. 929 00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,560 Speaker 2: Uh, So that part of it's going to be interesting. 930 00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:11,960 Speaker 5: I think the offense has changed in what's I think 931 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,720 Speaker 5: what's interesting is you watched the Giants film and Jackson 932 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:19,239 Speaker 5: Dart and you can identify here and their route concepts that. 933 00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:19,759 Speaker 2: They like to do. 934 00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:21,840 Speaker 5: They like to do r P O, they like to 935 00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:25,279 Speaker 5: do the you know, two receivers stacked and one guy 936 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,680 Speaker 5: run right down the mill like a post kind of 937 00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:29,600 Speaker 5: like right down the middlefield. They'll run the dig in 938 00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:34,920 Speaker 5: behind it and then they'll uh, you know, there's certain concepts, 939 00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,400 Speaker 5: just a handful, and they're kind of scattered about, right, 940 00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,840 Speaker 5: But this isn't the offense that we that we were 941 00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:44,520 Speaker 5: running uh years ago last year when when you when 942 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,400 Speaker 5: you could sit there and watch the game and see, okay, 943 00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,320 Speaker 5: there's this concept to beat this coverage and there he 944 00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:53,320 Speaker 5: had to simplify. And I think there's finally some synergy 945 00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,120 Speaker 5: there between what the quarterback can do and what we 946 00:46:56,200 --> 00:47:00,720 Speaker 5: want our offense to look like. We've seen justin Jefferson 947 00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,560 Speaker 5: run slants and a lot of them. He might run 948 00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:05,280 Speaker 5: one every once in a while to keep them honest. 949 00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,359 Speaker 5: But I think that you know you're seeing you saw 950 00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,960 Speaker 5: a couple lot of them on Sunday night, so you're like, okay, 951 00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,560 Speaker 5: the receivers are starting to you know what I mean, 952 00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:16,480 Speaker 5: just everything's it's a it's a whole new discovery process. 953 00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,960 Speaker 3: But we were stretching the field on Sunday night versus 954 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,920 Speaker 3: maybe working the tight ends kind of more of a priority. 955 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,359 Speaker 3: In the previous game against the Commander and group, those 956 00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:26,680 Speaker 3: little graduation. 957 00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:29,480 Speaker 5: We activated four tight ends for Sunday night. Why well, 958 00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:31,759 Speaker 5: that's kind of what we're more of what we're doing, 959 00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:33,880 Speaker 5: all right, We'll put the heavy people out there and 960 00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,880 Speaker 5: then spread everybody out, you know, which the Giants do 961 00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:40,560 Speaker 5: as well. So you're you're seeing kind of an evolution 962 00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:42,880 Speaker 5: in front between the coaches and the play. You know, 963 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,800 Speaker 5: JJ's growing up every single week. And then the coaching 964 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,000 Speaker 5: staff is trying to not reinventing the wheel. 965 00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:49,280 Speaker 2: I hate that. I hate that phrase. 966 00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,759 Speaker 5: But they're trying to figure out what what the kid 967 00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,279 Speaker 5: can handle and what he's comfortable with and what's going 968 00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:57,600 Speaker 5: to work on Sunday. It's not it's easy, much easier 969 00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:00,520 Speaker 5: said than done. Yeah, right, Because as a team, you 970 00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,160 Speaker 5: have an identity. You want to be able to run 971 00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,359 Speaker 5: what you're good at doing, and that's your bread and butter. 972 00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,160 Speaker 5: When things are going badly, this is what we go 973 00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:08,879 Speaker 5: back to the counter like the power eye or uh, 974 00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:10,560 Speaker 5: you know, we're running the point, going to run the football. 975 00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:12,319 Speaker 5: We're a zone team, that's what we do. And then 976 00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:16,960 Speaker 5: the bootlegs off of it. And so finding that identity 977 00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:20,520 Speaker 5: is what I'm seeing on the field and uh, you know, 978 00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,319 Speaker 5: minus that, minus the tip ball, that's one that's that's 979 00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,319 Speaker 5: kind of like the off season. One of the off 980 00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:28,560 Speaker 5: season list of the talkers is why why so many 981 00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:29,440 Speaker 5: tip footballs? 982 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:32,279 Speaker 2: Is that? Is that something? Or you know what is that? 983 00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:33,319 Speaker 2: Is that a thing? 984 00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:35,400 Speaker 5: I have no idea what what he could do to 985 00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,480 Speaker 5: help change that, but that's something that's been consistent all year. 986 00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:41,320 Speaker 1: Uh, you and my friend are fantastic.
