Speaker 3: Forty four running back to his side, Stevens said, aren't

44
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 3: judge that.

45
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:16,360

00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: Celebrate a twenty nine.

00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 8: To thirteenth victory over the Patriots here in Santa Clara.

66
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 5: May dumps it off underneath fall is caught. It's Henderson.

67
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 5: He is tackled in bounds three two one.

68
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 2: The Seahawks.

69
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 5: They're bringing it home again for a second time in

70
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 5: less than twelve years. The Seahawks wins.

71
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: Super Bowl sixty.

72
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 5: They are bringing the Lombardi back to the Northwest. And

73
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 5: the party begins at Levi Stadium and in Seattle, and

74
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 5: it won't stop.

75
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: Four days.

76
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowl stories, chance to party with the Lombardy. I

77
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: hate there. Nine to Noon is in the air, Nordo organizes, creates,

78
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: produce and crafts. And I'm Paul Allen. The Seahawks are champions.

79
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: And even though New England will be perceived as chumps,

80
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: that ain't the case. You got the champs and to

81
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: some you got the chumps, but that ain't the case

82
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: for the for the loser Pats. Super Bowl sixty reminded

83
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: me of, believe it or not, several vikings games we

84
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: witnessed this year, including one of the Cappuccino Capital against

85
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: Sam the man who used to be on the fam.

86
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: And this the champion Seahawks, the they and and and

87
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: here's here's the payoff. The defense for New England. The

88
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: defense and the punter were doing just everything to keep

89
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: things cohesive and close. But the elasticity of said union

90
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: only had so much poll and eventually it rips apart.

91
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: And uh, there's gridiron carnage with a lack of offense.

92
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: The the the old that young quarterback is confused trick

93
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: for Seattle coach Mike McDonald. It's the oldest trick in

94
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: the book. I mean, Drake may fine young man terrific

95
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: quarterback probably needed. The experience will be no worse for

96
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: the wear. Drake had to be like, all right, got

97
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: you its zone? Oh wait, as Seattle coy Lee disguises

98
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: and plays man defense, and the second year tar Heel

99
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: was like dang and then he misfires even though somebody's

100
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: probably wide open. Or Drake might have been like against

101
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: the confusion created by the learned, Mike McDonald may might

102
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: have been like, finally, yes, an open man. Oh wait,

103
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: how did Julie and Love end up with the ball.

104
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: If you're a kid quarterback, Mike McDonald's playground is a

105
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: place you would be best to avoid. As defensive coordinator

106
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: for the Ravens or head coach of the champion Chickens,

107
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: McDonald coach of the Seahawks seven and zero. Versus kid

108
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: quarterbacks twenty four years of age, your younger or in

109
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: their first two years of service, Here are the casualties.

110
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: Denvers bon Knicks last year twenty six of forty two

111
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: passing one hundred and thirty eight yards, two sacks, two interceptions.

112
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: Chicago's Caleb Williams sixteen of twenty eight, buck twenty two,

113
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: seven sacks and a pick, Houston. C. J. Stroud twenty

114
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: three of forty nine two twenty nine, three sacks, a

115
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: touchdown and a pick. Tennessee's Cam Ward Week twelve this

116
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: year twenty eight of forty two, two fifty six, four

117
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: sacks in just one touchdown. Minnesota's Max Brozmer undrafted, sky

118
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: You Mob nineteen of thirty buck twenty six, four sacks,

119
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: four interceptions, Ernie Jones galloping to the end zone, Carolinas

120
00:06:54,880 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 1: Bryce Young fourteen of twenty four fifty four yards that

121
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: was this year, two sacks and a pick. And then

122
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: Drake May yesterday, bewildered, befuddled, and brain boggled all game,

123
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: six sacks, two picks and one broken heart and one

124
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: broken heart. Mike McDonald has a d EI e IO,

125
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: and on his d he has some dogs EI e IO.

126
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: My power rankings for Super Bowl Excellence go a little

127
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: bit like this. Seattle's defense going level four Einstein with

128
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: ferocity on the learned and talented Drake May, that's number one.

129
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: MVP Kenneth Walker and his one sixty one total that's

130
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: number two, and number three. Fucks Alan Roach, the Voice

Speaker 1: Alan Roach handled the massive spot with perfection, number three

142
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: of my power rankings, behind that Einstein like Seattle defense

143
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: and then Kenneth Walker the third who's unrestricted as of now,

144

00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: And then I see him.

153
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 9: I had it on low and I hear the voice

154
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,079

155
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,080

160
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: there to let something breathe for emphasis, it was breathing, Yes,

161
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: it was. He fired bullets, box of all boxes.

162
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 9: The defense that we I don't I don't think we

163
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 9: underplayed it, but I think, as Vikings fans I spent

164
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 9: I'll speak for myself. I spent most of the year

165
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 9: thinking about the Seahawks in the context of what Sam

166
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 9: Darnold was giving that team, and you're looking at the

167
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 9: way Clint Kubiak dials in and dials up the run,

168
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 9: and that tandem for most of the year was Zach Charbonnay,

169
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 9: And wow, did I have the wrong opinion on Kenneth

170
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 9: Walker maybe potentially stumbling without that second option in the backfield.

171
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 9: What a terrible thought that was. Kenneth Walker was terrific

172
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 9: last night. But I spend the whole season thinking how

173
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 9: Sam doing if they're gonna go anywhere. It's gonna be

174
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 9: up to Sam the way that we would have spoke

175
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 9: about our own struggles at the end of last year. Meanwhile,

176
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 9: you go up and down that list, man. I mean,

177
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 9: it's old McDonald or Mike McDonald, with a Lawrence here

178
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 9: and a Byron Murphy there, and a Leonard Williams here,

179
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 9: and here's here's the Jones here, a Mafe everywhere. It's

180
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 9: insane what he put together. And you dig deeper into.

181
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 9: Albeit a short tenure, his team never loses on the

182
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 9: road because of the run game and because of the defense.

183
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 9: Oh did this guy just pop up out of nowhere?

184
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: No big deal.

185
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 9: He just managed top five defenses as a coordinator with

186
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 9: the Ravens prior to that. He's learning from Wink Martindale

187
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 9: and Dean Peas and it'll eleait top ten equity at

188
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 9: the linebacker spots. DB's in Baltimore for all those years,

189
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 9: started out as an intern with the Ravens, like a

190
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 9: decade and change ago, So he's been on that defensive

191
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 9: bent for so many years. Finally gets the opportunity. He's

192
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 9: in conjunction with the GM that gave them all the

193
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 9: fun toys to work with the defense, not just the

194
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 9: story of their playoff run, but really their year. And

195
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 9: I spent so much time thinking about Sam the man

196
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,719
Speaker 9: formerly on the fan. It really clicked last night. I

197
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 9: would say in arnest that this team built for January runs,

198
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 9: built for February fun, and that's why they're hoisting their

199
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 9: second trophy in like twelve or thirteen years.

200
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: All pressure and learned takes into the game. Then they

201
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: played the game. Oh geez, super well it was so

202
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: for Drake, for Drake May, Paul, you're not appreciating the

203
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: twists and the stunts of the defensive linemen for New

204
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: England and Seattle.

205
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's difficult for me to watch into any Super

206
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 9: Bowl and just say this team's gonna get waxed. Drake

207
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 9: May had not had a terrific postseason by any measure,

208
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 9: but you had half the Denver game. He's playing in

209
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 9: the snow. It's kind of just grinded out, get out

210
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 9: a live type of scenario there. The Chargers have a

211
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 9: right to impact things. The best defense in the NFL,

212
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 9: the Houston Texans. He battled against them, dropped the ball

213
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 9: a couple times.

214
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: In the end.

215
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 9: I'm still thinking, Drake's gonna be chasing in this game,

216
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 9: but you're gonna find productivity. So I had a big

217
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 9: Diggs opinion into the game. It's like, okay, bright lights stars.

218
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 9: I think he has five or six hundred yard games

219
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 9: all season, but this would be where you see Diggs

220
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 9: rise to the occasion. Maybe I'll be it in a loss. Okay, well,

221
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 9: I think he had one catch for five yards. He's

222
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 9: spinning the ball like he just made the play of

223
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 9: the game. Down by like twenty points in the fourth

224
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 9: quarter last night on a connection.

225
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: Stuff like that.

226
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 9: So I'm thinking, hey, you know, you can see in

227
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 9: Remandre gets into the end zone. There were some things

228
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 9: that played out, but their run scheme against that Patriots defense.

229
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 9: The Seahawks, Okay, well you got Milton Williams.

230
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: You paid them one hundred million for good reason.

231
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

232
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: What we're gonna do is we're just gonna stretch you

233
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: out to the corner.

234
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 9: I got Barner, I got these tight ends for days,

235
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 9: and I'm just gonna mash and get these small little

236
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 9: lanes and I'll get you seven eight nine yards. You're

237
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 9: gonna You're gonna get them stretched out, And a loss

238
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 9: of two is gonna be in the mix too, But

239
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 9: over the course of the game, you cannot stop us

240
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 9: if we get to the boundary on the ground. I

241
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 9: was masterful work by the Seahawks.

242
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: Pete Bursich, the in booth analyst for the Minnesota Vikings

243
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 1: Kfan Audio Network, will be joining us very shortly. I

244
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: just see what's on his mind. You guys want to

245
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: get some action. Well, if we did, finding it during

246
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, offensively speaking, probably would be a bad idea.

247
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: Seattle couldn't throw it a majority of the game, and

248
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: the Pats were inches from a couple of pick six opportunities,

249
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: but the Champs covered up the quarterback with a consistent, wide,

250
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: sweeping running game, and off Nordo's point adroid as it was,

251
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: they made talented corners tackle and did it enough with

252
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: the Michigan tied end to close when they had to close,

253
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: and Drake May Drake May just was not getting that

254
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 1: from his running game and was forced to throw more

255
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: than they absolutely wanted him to. And when he had

256
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: to throw more and it was confusing. Looks like zone.

257
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: Probably is man. Maybe it's man. Looks like zone. When

258
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: all that transpired, well, the Suyoshi Nishioka impersonation was stealing

259
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: the show and stealing the dreams of New England Patriots fans.

260
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: This is a Steve's Appliance's Marathon segment. Steve's Appliances Love

264
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: What's going on?

265
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 8: Oh that much?

266
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: Good morning?

267
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 2: How are you all right?

268
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: Brother?

269
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 8: Ready for the getting ready for the combine?

270
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a couple of wait tro here are Seattle's

271
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: willingness to consistently run and find new ways to do it.

272
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: In my estimation dictated the tempo of Super Bowl sixty,

273
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: and that tilted the scales the way of the NFC team.

274
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: How do you see it, my brother?

275
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 8: Yes, I would. I would agree with you completely on that,

276
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 8: mainly in the fact that neither offense was able to

277
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 8: throw the football very well, right, I mean, both offenses.

278
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 8: The timing just wasn't there. You saw Donald miss you know,

279
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 8: he and Cooper Cup just you know, not on the

280
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 8: same page, and the same thing. The same thing with

281
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 8: New England with Drake May I mean he held the

282
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 8: football way too long. You look at the box score,

283
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 8: I think both quarterbacks were hovering around fifty percent. The

284
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 8: difference and the reason why Seattle was able to put

285
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 8: up points in the meantime was just how well that

286
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 8: they ran the football. You know, Kenneth Walker ended up

287
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 8: being the MVP, and I think rightfully so in that

288
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 8: that was the only difference in the beginning of the

289
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 8: first half three quarters of that football game. Was just

290
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 8: Seattle's ability to run the ball. That's why you got

291
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 8: to have balance as an offense. And they yeah, either

292
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 8: team could throw it or throw it, throw it very effectively.

293
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 8: And New England scored some field goals along the way

294
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 8: just because they made some big, bigger plays on the ground.

295
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: All right. Now, Super Bowl sixty one b tom is

296
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: at Sofi Stadium and the Golewood, California. All right, so

297
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: envision this, say the Vikings finally climb that hill and

298
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: get there and play the LA Chargers, and the LA

299
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: Chargers are the home team at SOFI Stadium. Yeah, oh yeah,

300
00:16:55,160 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: I know, Ladies and gentlemen with that stucker in front

301
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: of the box box. I mean, it'd be like we

302
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: finally get the opportunity to call a Super Bowl game.

303
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: And then we got that big ass speaker right in

304
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: front of us, and just when you're formulating some elite

305
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: take on how to jump cut on kohlil Mack and

306
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: win Super Bowl sixty one, right in the middle of it,

307
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, this year's commemorative coin. I mean, it

308
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: just be the box of all boxes, be just jumping

309
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 1: on you.

310
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, it would be. It'd be the one stadium

311
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 8: that I mean, what really, it's kind of like one

312
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 8: stadium you really really wouldn't want to go to for

313
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 8: a Super Bowl. We take it because it would we

314
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 8: got well, of course you would take it, but it

315
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 8: would just feel like you're at a Elton John concert,

316
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 8: not necessarily a football game.

317
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: I thought about you in the early stages of Super

318
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: Bowl sixty yesterday, because when you got extra time and

319
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: you have a voluminous amount of film tape plays that

320
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: you can look at and channel your inner flores on

321
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: a key third and seven, which which New England did

322
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: one time on Sam Darnold and it worked, and you

323
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 1: can just pull from this from here and that from there,

324
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: and you know what. Kenneth Walker ran between tackles sixty

325
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: eight percent of the time during the twenty twenty five

326
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: while he's gonna run outside of the tackles eighty eight

327
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: and a half percent of the time in Super Bowl sixty.

328
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: And what I'm talking about, why I thought of you

329
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: unscalted looks, unscalted looks and Gotcha's happened early in every

330
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, Like defensively for Seattle, Devin Weatherspoon forcing early

331
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: punts by himself blitzing like ten times. I mean, those scaled,

332
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: those unscalted looks when you know it may only be

333
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: one play, gotcha. But being a coach and putting those together,

334
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: I mean that just sounds like so much fun.

335
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I mean I think New England took advantage

336
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 8: of of Seattle's right guard.

337
00:18:58,920 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 6: Is it Bradford?

338
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 8: That his last name. I think that's his last name. Yeah,

339
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 8: because Abel's doing a great job on the left side.

340
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 8: Lucas is a very good tackle on the left side

341
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 8: of the Seattle offensive line. But they they did a

342
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 8: lot in those A and B gapps to that side

343
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 8: of the Seattle uh to the Seattle offense. And you know, conversely,

344
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 8: you know, the New England asked what the first offensive

345
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 8: line and the history of the NFL had two rookies

346
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,719
Speaker 8: on one side. You know, Bradbury is a he's a

347
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 8: good player, but just putting on a Patriots him, it's

348
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 8: not going to turn him into something that he wasn't here. Uh,

349
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 8: when you can, when you can get him soloed one

350
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 8: on one with with the defensive linemen and some of

351
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 8: those big defensive linemans Byron Murphy's of the world, you

352
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 8: know he's going to struggle, and he did. And that's

353
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 8: again why New England didn't didn't move the ball. But

354
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 8: Kenneth Walker with Sharvion A being out, Kenneth Walker knew

355
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 8: it was going to be on him, and man, he

356
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 8: really I think answered the call. And it was a

357
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 8: lot of his three and four yard runs that he

358
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 8: was hit behind the line of scrimmage and just kept

359
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 8: himself going. So I was very I was very impressed

360
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 8: by him. And yes, you're right, it wasn't. You didn't

361
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 8: see teams getting outside in New England, right, you know,

362
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 8: because it's a three four front and they keep contained.

363
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 8: But yet they managed to use the wide receivers and

364
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 8: the tight ends block and Kenneth Walker. Uh just yet,

365
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 8: you you can't reinvent the wheel in the two weeks

366
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 8: leading to the Super Bowl. You can't make your offense

367
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 8: something that it's not. Uh, but the but the Seattle

368
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 8: made enough changes to give New England some things that

369
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 8: they hadn't seen and it was effective. You know, a

370
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 8: couple of you know, trick play here and there, and

371
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 8: especially in the beginning when everybody's still emotional and and

372
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 8: and still maybe a little adrenaline flowing. And yeah, I

373
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 8: mean taking the field goals and putting points on the

374
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 8: board when they had the opportunity. It's just a different,

375
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 8: a little different feel from what we've seen in the NFL.

376
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 8: And you know, I thought it was it was a

377
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 8: fun game to watch in that regard.

Speaker 1: favorite team KFA and Sports Talk Tom Is nine twenty one.

382
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: What did you think of Donald?

383
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 6: Yeah?

384
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 8: I thought, you know, Donald, what Donald didn't do was

385
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 8: make mistakes, right he you know, was again both quarterbacks

386
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 8: in the beginning hovering around fifty seventy something in the

387
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 8: passer rating. You know, just nothing huge, but he had.

388
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 8: He took a couple of shots down the field, I believe,

389
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 8: you know. One was to a Jigba, the other one

390
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 8: was to Rashid Shaheed and barring a couple of unbelievably

391
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 8: good plays by the New England defense, that those could

392
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 8: have been explosive. And I think that's the element to

393
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 8: that Seattle offense that they were missing. And that's what

394
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 8: Donald brought. And you know, I kind of said it.

395
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 8: I've said it before where Donald I think is lucky.

396
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 8: You know, you got lucky, and I don't. And I

397
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 8: don't mean it's taking anything away from him by saying that,

398
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 8: But man, you talked about an inspiration to a lot

399
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,479
Speaker 8: of quarterbacks that were drafted highly, let's say, and they have

400
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 8: kind of, you know, fallen into a backup role. I mean,

401
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 8: he came here and was fortunate enough that the starter

402
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 8: or the guy he was competing with was injured. He

403
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 8: got to play seventeen eighteen games here, did very very

404
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 8: well at perfect timing as a free agent, which was

405
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 8: smart on his part. And then you had a team

406
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 8: in Seattle that just needed a quarterback who could get

407
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 8: down that vertical element of the offense. Right that he

408
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 8: added this year, really I think made the difference for Seattle.

409
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 8: And I mean the Super Bowl was really the NFC

410
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 8: champion Chip game. I think the Rams uh and Seattle

411
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 8: that was those two teams were probably the two best

412
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 8: of the four that were left.

413
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 6: Uh.

414
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 8: And you know, Donald had a big, big part in

415
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 8: that game. So you know, for for for the folks

416
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 8: out there, didn't no, you don't walk away saying, man Donald,

417
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 8: thank god, Dad Donald. And he helped, you know, he

418
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 8: helped him get to the get to the promised Land.

419
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 6: Uh.

420
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 8: He did the week he did the game before for sure.

421
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 6: Uh.

422
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 8: And you know, I guess that's the difference between he

423
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 8: and Drake May. Drake May took a few more sacks early,

424
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 8: a lot more sacks early, and then you have the

425
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 8: you know, and then you have the two turnovers. So

426
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,719
Speaker 8: it's not a huge difference, but in a game like

427
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 8: that and ended up being ended up being all of it.

428
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 8: So I think Donald played pretty smart, didn't get frustrated,

429
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 8: didn't try to start making plays, you know what I mean.

430
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 8: There was no desperation in that regard. There was no

431
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 8: trying to throw a ball behind himself when he's rolling out.

432
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: He just played.

433
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 8: He just played a very smart football game, and that's

434
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 8: what they needed because they got a defense that's that good.

Speaker 1: Pete Bursich, analyst for the KFAM Minnesota Vikings audio network.

436
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: McDonald is seven to zero against quarterbacks twenty four years

437
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: of age or younger. All right, I mean that these

438
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: kids have no chance against this guy. But why.

439
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 8: I think I think it's a lot or similar to

440
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 8: to Brian Flores. I know Brian Flores is a very

441
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 8: good record against younger quarterbacks. Maybe, you know, maybe Caleb

442
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,239
Speaker 8: Williams might have gotten him a few times early. But

443
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 8: they throw a lot of different things at you, and

444
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 8: Seattle did a great job of showing one thing and

445
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 8: then playing another, and it took Drake May a little

446
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 8: while to figure it out. Now, as Drake May gets

447
00:24:55,400 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 8: older and gets through a few seasons and campaigns, he'll

448
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 8: have all that down where he'll have a much better

449
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 8: feel for what's going on out there. But you could

450
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 8: just you could just see him hesitating and not wanting

451
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 8: to throw the football right, and so he was unsure

452
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 8: of what he was looking at down the field and decided,

453
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 8: I'm not going to try to I'm not going to

454
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 8: throw this thing away or force it held onto it,

455
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 8: and that resulted in in a bunch, you know, a

456
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 8: bunch of sacks for Seattle. So yeah, he did a

457
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 8: great job of just switching enough things up and having

458
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 8: that flexibility with the defensive backs in his back in

459
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 8: the backfield. Those guys, his defensive backs are a lot

460
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 8: like Hours in that they have a lot of flexibility

461
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 8: against playing the run and blitzing and doing all those things.

462
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 8: So they need that joker kind of a player, uh,

463
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 8: and they and they use them very well. And that

464
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 8: defensive front again, I think their defensive front is very, very,

465
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 8: very good. The linebackers are very aggressive and they use that.

466
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 8: So just getting the right guys to fick your scheme,

467
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 8: you know, and you know from Drake May it's he's

468
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 8: only going to get better. He's only going to get better,

469
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 8: and New England's going to be a problem.

470
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 2: Time for two more.

471
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: Hey how much?

472
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 9: In a copy In a copycut copycat league Peede are

473
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 9: teams sitting at home on their respective couches or at

474
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 9: their facilities going what what Mike McDonald did here, what

475
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 9: Koubiak did there? I want to figure out how to

476
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 9: put that into my mix for twenty twenty six. As

477
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 9: we are all spectators now watching the Seahawks win. How

478
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 9: much do teams do that this time of year, trying

479
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 9: to pull little little bits from the best to make

480
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 9: themselves better.

481
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 8: They do, they pull they you know, this is the

482
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 8: time of year when you sit down and watch what

483
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 8: they do. It'll be interesting to see if teams start

484
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 8: kicking kicking field goals in the red zone instead of

485
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 8: going forward because they think McDonald did. He kicked more

486
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 8: field goals in the red zone than any other team

487
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 8: in the league. So it's that we're data driven now,

488
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,479
Speaker 8: and you know, teams want to They know that if

489
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 8: they can just.

490
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: Convert one or two.

491
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 8: Of those red zone four downs, that that's going to

492
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 8: help him out and make you know, even if they

493
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 8: give the ball if the other team has to go

494
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 8: a long way with the kickoffs going to the thirty

495
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 8: five and all that. But yeah, he decided to kick

496
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 8: field goals and so maybe that would be a trend

497
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 8: that you're going to see. But outside of that, I

498
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 8: didn't see. You know, Seattle is not a huge they're

499
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 8: very data driven. I know that Brian Brian Ayris is

500
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 8: out there, Mike Risson, who is with the Vikings for

501
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 8: so long. He's kind of the godfather of film and data.

502
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 8: And I know Brian's out there, he's he's involved in

503
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,479
Speaker 8: doing a ton with them, so they integrate all that

504
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 8: information in a very modern way. But it's just interesting,

505
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 8: you know, on the field, it's kind of hard to

506
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 8: tell where that's sneaking in, where those decisions are are

507
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 8: creeping in. So I think that's one area where other

508
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 8: teams maybe not. So I guess to answer your question,

509
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 8: maybe not what they do on the field, but how

510
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 8: they integrate their a lot of their research and data

511
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 8: team and the things that they do with the different

512
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 8: Python programs and all that to break teams down and

513
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 8: present it the players and come up with game plans.

514
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 8: So there's a whole data driven side of Seattle. I

515
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 8: think that teams may want to look into or are

516
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 8: going to look into.

517
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: All right, mister Peter the analyst. That's it for the

518
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. What's next for the Minnesota Vikings will

519
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: be a common thread nine to new And as you

536
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:37,520

549
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: Thank you very much for helping us, Chris. The basketball team,

550
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,719
Speaker 1: I mean, they've lost three or four and the record's

551
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: still good and they're still a postseason team, but it

552
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: feels like they can't win all of a sudden, it

553
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: did do Do they need the break to get away

554
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: from each other and come back cohesive and confident or

555
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: are there deeper problems brewing and good morning.

556
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 6: Marnky. Yeah, I think the break will do this team

557
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 6: a lot of good, just mentally and emotionally. At this point,

558
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 6: it's been a I think, especially the last six weeks

559
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 6: has been really rough for this team. They've had some

560
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 6: nice winning streaks in there, and they had some nice

561
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 6: wins in the month of January and early February here,

562
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 6: but when they've gone into these little kind of losing streets.

563
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 6: They lost five in a row New Year's even Atlanta

564
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 6: they got crushed and last night and then Friday night,

565
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 6: it looks really bad when they lose. They haven't had

566
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 6: really like it's just from appearances. It just looks really

567
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 6: bad when they lose anymore. Memphis the other night, they

568
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 6: didn't have much effor other defensive end that carried over

569
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 6: into New Orleans and last night. So I don't quite know,

570
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 6: you know, what's going to take for this team to

571
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 6: come out and play with maximum efforts on a nightly basis.

572
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,719
Speaker 6: You hear this a lot covering the NBA that teams

573
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 6: really don't start to take the regular season seriously until

574
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 6: the All Star break gets here and the playoff push

575
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 6: finally gets here in mid February. So maybe the Wolves

576
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 6: are one of these teams. That's the glass half full

577
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 6: and optimus view to take here. The pessimistic view is,

578
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,479
Speaker 6: is this just who these guys are and is that

579
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 6: going to show up once April gets here and the

580
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 6: postseason gets underway?

581
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: All right? So Kawhi is hof all right now, So

582
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: Kawhi had a big game, But you know, the Timberwolves

583
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: aren't the first team to be on the wrong side

584
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: of a big game by Kawhi Leonard. Overall, and I

585
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: guess outside of that what happened against the Clippers. I mean,

586
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: a twenty point loss at home is bad for business.

587
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 7: It was I.

588
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 6: Think a little bit of a reversal from Friday night.

589
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 6: You played Rudy's comments there. The defense was the issue,

590
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 6: especially in the second half of that game. I actually

591
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 6: thought last night they came out with a pretty good

592
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 6: defensive mindset, energy.

593
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: First quarter.

594
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 6: They only allowed I think twenty three points even though

595
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 6: Kawhi was getting his It was the offense that was

596
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 6: out of whack last night. Right now, it's two ISO heavy.

597
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 6: Julius Randol, Anthony Edwards got to inspire a little more

598
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 6: ball movement. When Jadon mc daniels and Docte DiVincenzo are

599
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 6: only combining for three points in a game, that tells

600
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 6: you that something's wrong with the offense. Those guys feed

601
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 6: off the movement, They feed off of the gravity that

602
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 6: Randall and Edwards can create, and not just kind of

603
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 6: standing around and watching those guys do their thing. Dribble, dribble, dribble,

604
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 6: shot puck, get flow, put up a shot. Right now,

605
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 6: that's kind of where the Wolves offense is. Defense also

606
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 6: helps with that, getting out in transition. Guys tend to

607
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,719
Speaker 6: get open along the perimeter through open threes and stuff

608
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 6: like that. But overall, right now, the offense has to

609
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 6: regain its rhythm as well.

610
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: Hey, Chris.

611
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 9: To open the segment, I played some audio following the

612
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 9: Pelicans l and you hear Rudy Gobert talking about accountability

613
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 9: and urgency. I'm just curious if you have any vibe

614
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 9: in terms of how loud his voice resonates among those

615
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 9: in the dressing room with them. Those comments resonate with us,

616
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 9: We hear it, we see it on social media, we

617
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 9: react to it.

618
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: How much does his voice resonate with his teammates.

619
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 6: I think it's indicative of how they generally talk to

620
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 6: each other as a whole. I think Rudy was obviously

621
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 6: very frustrated on Friday night, felt like he had to

622
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 6: come out and say that stuff to the media. We

623
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,359
Speaker 6: talked about it with Finch the next day. He said,

624
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 6: we addressed Rudy's comments and house we'll leave it at that.

625
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 6: I think people from the outside tend to think that

626
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 6: there's not a lot of accountability with this team sometimes

627
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 6: that they don't try to hold each other accountable or

628
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 6: Finch doesn't get on them. That's the opposite of what

629
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 6: I think all of us have written over the years

630
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,280
Speaker 6: about this team. And when you hear them talk about

631
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 6: that stuff, they do get on each other. They like

632
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 6: to have a culture where they can quote unquote tell

633
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 6: a hard truth to each other. I think that's part

634
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 6: of what Rudy was doing. But I will say there

635
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 6: was an edge to Rudy's comments, especially when you start

636
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,720
Speaker 6: suggesting that the coach would start benching players who aren't

637
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 6: giving effort on the defensive end. That wasn't necessarily present

638
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,240
Speaker 6: in media sessions that Rudy has given before about this topic.

639
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 6: So it was a little atypical. And that's why I

640
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 6: think you raised a lot of flags for fans around

641
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,240
Speaker 6: the organization, or not around the organization, but just people

642
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 6: following the team because it was a little out of

643
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 6: the ordinary. But I think overall they do tend to

644
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 6: have this kind of hard truth telling culture. Uh. And

645
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 6: did you have to manage that too? You can't. You

646
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 6: can't be saying things that are going to hurt people's

647
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 6: feelings or that are going to be out of line.

648
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 6: At the same time as well.

649
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: Chris, you you do a really good job on the

650
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: beat in my opinion, And and you know, whether it's

651
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: from you or anybody else covering the team, unless I've

652
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: missed something specifically in the last couple of weeks, you

653
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 1: you never, you know, hear like any sourcing or anything

654
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: from the locker room where you know somebody is saying

655
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: that that, like Chris Finch's message has gone stale or

656
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 1: it's just not resonating the way it has. In fact,

657
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 1: the the the equity here with the comments, specifically from

658
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: from Edwards over the years has been no, it's not him,

659
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: it's us. No, it's not him, it's us. So do

660
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: you think in any way that message has gone stale?

661
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 6: I don't get that sense. No. I think they recognize

662
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 6: that it's more of a of a me problem, you know,

663
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 6: the issues that they have to iron out. I think

664
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 6: another thing this team recognizes is that they can be

665
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 6: very moody and very emotional. They have a lot of

666
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:36,919
Speaker 6: moody players, and sometimes when those moods fluctuate, that the

667
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 6: performance of the team fluctuates with those moods. And I

668
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 6: don't know how much of that, you know, you can

669
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 6: meet the argument. I don't know how much of that

670
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 6: is on coaching at the end of the day, how

671
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 6: much of it is just this is who these guys are.

672
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: That's kind of what.

673
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 6: I'm saying with saying before, is at what point, you know,

674
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 6: does this become you know, a part of who this

675
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 6: team is? And I think you're that now. Is that

676
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 6: the emotions and the moods with which this team goes

677
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 6: through a season. I don't know if a coach can

678
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 6: can say that or rescue that. I think it's just

679
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 6: a part of who these guys are. Now. Sometimes that

680
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 6: benefits this team when you have that edge and you

681
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 6: have that energy and you can harness that emotion and

682
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 6: play with it. We've seen this team play really well

683
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 6: at times, but more often than not this season, even

684
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 6: in some wings that they have that were, you know,

685
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 6: less than inspired along the way, they just don't seem

686
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 6: to really have a collective kind of good spirit about them.

687
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 6: And I think that's one of the biggest issues right now.

688
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 6: And I don't think that's the coach and me. I

689
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 6: think it's kind of who these guys are at the

690
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 6: end of the day, all right.

691
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: So they failed to score at least one hundred for

692
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: the second time this season, and bench postgame mentioned a

693
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: lack of offensive structure. A. How are you reading into

694
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: all of that? And B, Chris, what do the players

695
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: consistently do wrong during this time where they've lost three

696
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: or four? Is there like a common thread here?

697
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's the city of Friday night, it was the

698
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 6: defense yesterday, it was most of the offense that was

699
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 6: out of black. So I don't know that there's necessar

700
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 6: been a common thread in this particular instance. But I

701
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 6: think when you if you look big picture here, it's

702
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 6: it's playing smart basketball at the end of the day

703
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 6: on both ends of the floor, and on defense that

704
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 6: can manifest itself in a couple of different ways. You know,

705
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 6: being prepared to play health defense, low man defense, being

706
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 6: prepared going the scouting report and closing out on certain

707
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 6: shooters or knowing who not to close out on them.

708
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,280
Speaker 6: They've admitted, and we've written as much that they sometimes

709
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 6: struggle with the game plan execution at times. On offense,

710
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 6: it's I think pictures referring to that structure, because if

711
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 6: you call plays early in the offense, it directs the

712
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 6: ball to certain guys off of those play calls. Again,

713
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,280
Speaker 6: you know when Jaden McDaniel's Dante DiVincenzo are only getting

714
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 6: a couple of shot attempster game. That's probably what he

715
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 6: means there is finding a way to funnel the ball

716
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 6: to those guys, to get them some opportunities, getting them

717
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 6: into that offense, inspiring that movement instead of being a

718
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 6: free flowing kind of unpredictable offense like Finch tends it

719
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 6: to be. So I think overall this team just have

720
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 6: to smarten up at the end of the day on

721
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 6: both ends of the floor. And that's the common thread

722
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 6: I think, if there is one.

723
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: Chris Hine covers the Timberwolves for the Star Tribune Time

724
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: for two more. He also has written a book, and

725
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: the Incredible Journey of NBA Rising Star Anthony Edwards. You

726
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 1: can find that where you would find books. Noordo.

727
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 9: Yeah, you get a chance now kind of just in

728
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 9: general with the squad. You see Io Desumo now wearing

729
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 9: a Wolves jersey. Get to see him. Albeit it's a

730
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 9: tough game, Kawhi gets loose and it's a lopsided score line,

731
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 9: but what do you think of Io and just kind

732
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 9: of pie in the sky or ten thousand foot view,

733
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 9: does it make sense the addition and can you picture

734
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 9: what that looks like when things are going good.

735
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I thought he actually had a pretty good debut

736
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 6: yesterday overall, and I think you can see what he

737
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 6: brings to the table is the first bucket he had

738
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 6: came as a result of him diving on the floor

739
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 6: for a loose ball and it led to a transition

740
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 6: opportunity that he ended up converting in that I think,

741
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 6: in a nutshell, is what he's going to bring to

742
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 6: the table. Defensive energy, which again with this team needs

743
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 6: another point of attack, defender, somebody who can handle the

744
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 6: ball a little bit, somebody who can shoot the three.

745
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 6: He's having a career year from three point range, so

746
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 6: I think he fits a lot of what this team

747
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 6: was lacking when ni Kiel Alexander Walker went to Atlanta

748
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 6: in the offseason. So I think it's a good addition.

749
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 6: But I don't think he's not going to come in

750
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 6: and fix all these issues by himself. He can be

751
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 6: a big part of what helps them, and he can

752
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,439
Speaker 6: be a burst of energy that they need right now

753
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 6: at this point in the season. If he gets more

754
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 6: accustomed to how they play, there's certainly going to be

755
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 6: a little bit of a ramp up. Periods used to

756
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 6: his new teammates and a new system. But I think

757
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 6: you at least saw the glimpses yesterday of what he

758
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 6: can bring in terms of energy, effort and defense.

759
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:13,800
Speaker 1: All Right, lastly, my man Atlanta's here tonight. Jalen Johnson

760
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: one of the best players in the NBA, having an

761
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: MVP type season quite honestly, but he plays in Atlanta,

762
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: so he has no chance to win it. Getting swept

763
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 1: by the Hawks. I mean, that's bad for business. What

764
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 1: what do you think about tonight?

765
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, like you mentioned, I think Jalen Johnson is one

766
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 6: of the more under the radar elite players in the NBA.

767
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 6: You look at his stat line, he could go for

768
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 6: a triple double at any given moment. And you know,

769
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 6: old friend Nikkeil Evander Walker is having a breakout year

770
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 6: for the Hawks as well, and you know he's going

771
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 6: to be fired up coming into the Target Center tonight

772
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 6: to play his old team. Atlanta's very much a franchise

773
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 6: and transition. You know, they made the move to get

774
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 6: get rid of Trey Young and Christoph Sforzingis went at

775
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 6: the deadline, so you know, very much a franchise and transition.

776
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 6: But again, you look at that roster. It's going to

777
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:07,399
Speaker 6: be guys who give maximum energy led by Nikiel. It's

778
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 6: going to be guys who try harm on the defensive

779
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 6: end of the floor. And if you don't bring it

780
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 6: against them, like the Wolves didn't on New Year's Eve

781
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 6: when they were in Atlanta, they could end up being

782
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 6: a night like bless Man or a night like they

783
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 6: had when they went down to Atlanta. So this is

784
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 6: this is going to be a moment where the Wolves,

785
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 6: even though they're on a back to back and it's

786
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 6: a tough moment in the season right now for them,

787
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 6: they got to bring it or else they're going to

788
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:29,479
Speaker 6: get embarrassed again.

789
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: That was fantastic, continued success with the book. Thank you

790
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: very much for the time.

791
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 6: Right appreciates Peter, thank you.

792
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. Likewise, see Chris him covers the Timberwolves for the

793
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: Star Tribune Star Tribune dot Com. Once again, I'm interested.

794
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 1: Go to where you buy books, look for Aunt The

795
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: Incredible Journey of NBA Rising star Anthony Edwards, written by

796
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: Chris Hine of the Star Tribune. All right, here's the deal.

797
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: Vike's bites around the corner, and then after that we're

798
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: going to get over to Milan, Italy, and we are

799
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 1: going to call friend Parker Fox frequently this week. It

800
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: starts today, whereas fiance Taylor Heisi not only scored her

801
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: first Olympics goal Saturday against Finland, she and the team

802
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: USA Women's hockey team play at one for today against Switzerland,

803
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 1: and Parker's he's on air, on site, on demand, and

804
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,320
Speaker 1: he's on fire. That takes place at about ten o'clock

805
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: nine to noon, continues after the air, Mikes fights, Fikes bites,

806
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: Mikes bites, where you've been all my life? Fikes bites.

807
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 9: Just a little just a little shorty for you on

808
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 9: a Monday nine to noon, A baby game, if you will,

809
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 9: But Vike's bites. I'm watching Sam hoist to Lombardi. My

810
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 9: favorite team's not in the mix. Trying to figure out

811
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 9: what the first step forward is for mister Brazinski and

812
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 9: the front office staff combine in two weeks. Plenty of

813
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 9: things to discuss, but right now, a baby game.

814
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: It's called over or under. So Will Raggetts.

815
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 9: Will Raggetts, I believe he writes for SI, but he

816
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 9: covers the Minnesota Vikings and we appreciate him for it.

817
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 9: He puts some percentages. On impending Vikings free agents. A

818
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 9: percentage chance so and so comes back. So, in baby

819
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 9: game fashion, I'm just going to simply hit you with

820
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,839
Speaker 9: the number and you tell me over or under. All right, yes, sir,

821
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 9: all right, We're going to start with twenty percent that

822
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:30,240
Speaker 9: Harrison Smith returns to the Minnesota Vikings.

823
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 1: Twenty percent. Well, I mean that that's supposed to be

824
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: a shove in all the black and banana chips and

825
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 1: the purple chips to the middle of the table and

826
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 1: say under. But I mean he flows back in the mix.

827
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 1: Harrison's playing quite well. But then after all of the

828
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 1: celebration in the stadium and the media and the comments

829
00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:00,479
Speaker 1: and everything, how do you come back from that? Yeah,

830
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: you're gonna look the other way, and I guess let

831
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: them do it again. Well, that that that that would

832
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: be normal. I mean that that would that that wouldn't

833
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 1: feel awkward, would it, would it? I say, I say

834
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 1: less than twenty percent, I say less than ten percent?

835
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: Oh what about you? Well, I like that number because

836
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 1: it's a non zero chance. But twenty is a fantastic

837
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: it's a fantastic line center.

838
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,359
Speaker 9: And there are so many different checkpoints along the way,

839
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:29,399
Speaker 9: and part of this too, Like we got to see

840
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 9: what free agency looks like. They got some work to

841
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 9: do with the draft. They get some stud safety in

842
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 9: the first round. Let's say maybe that alters the conversation

843
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:41,879
Speaker 9: or does it? Or just before camp, Harrison's like, man,

844
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 9: just spend some man, the legs are feeling really good.

845
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: I'm in Well.

846
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,320
Speaker 9: See the thing with Harrison for week seven, he's bored

847
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 9: sitting at home. He's like, oh yeah, I kind of

848
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 9: got to play. But see Harrison, that did.

849
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: Don't take this ten to ten because a lot of

850
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:03,360
Speaker 1: players OTA's meetings, there are only so many things you

851
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 1: can do on the grass and coaches me out there

852
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: or not, there is some tedium to it. Yeah. The

853
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: Harrison Smith that I've always known, I think enjoys might

854
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: be the wrong word, but he bites the bullet on

855
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: that time of the year because he knows that time

856
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: of the year is important from a scholastic standpoint, and

857
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: plus he gets to be with his dogs. So you know,

858
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: when organized team activities begin in what March, don't know,

859
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: March April, that's something Harrison normally would be a full participant,

860
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: So there all the time, maybe a little in and

861
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: out later in his career. So that's really when this

862
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,320
Speaker 1: twenty percent thing is gonna start bearing its fruit.

863
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 9: I like that, all right, So we're under for now.

864
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 9: I am for now. I think I just I'd go over.

865
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 9: I'd go over, and then I'd bust, just like I

866
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 9: tried to bust on a thirty plus she Shaheed reception

867
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:03,720
Speaker 9: last night and Christian Gonzalez room to make.

868
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: Oh geez you you had a prize picks with Shaheed

869
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: getting behind the defense, of course, and he got behind

870
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 1: the defense, behind the defense and passed one of them. Floated,

871
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: just floated a little bit and gave Gonzales time to

872
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: get there and knock it away. Floated a little bit.

873
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: Gonzales knockaway.

874
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 9: Second one looked like Shah'd actually slowed down trying to

875
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 9: motion for a flag.

876
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the ball was the yard in front of

877
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 1: him is perfectly thrown back, either motioning for a flag

878
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 1: or doing the old Randy Moss bit like here I

879
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:35,800
Speaker 1: am yeah, But the way late in the equation that

880
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 1: slowed him down, it did indeed lost the Cohn. I

881
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 1: can't slow down.

882
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 9: Eric Wilson, what about seventy percent that mister Wilson is

883
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 9: back in purple. I say, like that number because I

884
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 9: want it to be nice job. I say over, yes,

885
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 9: I think to identify priority free agents.

886
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I don't. I have no idea who's

887
00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:00,120
Speaker 1: a priority free agent for him? If it's me and

888
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm next to Briz, well then it's like little nudge here,

889
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 1: a little nudge there. You know it's he went one

890
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 1: and a half to three. So Quacy and crewe to

891
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:13,760
Speaker 1: get him here, like, don't call anybody, We're gonna double

892
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: your one year salary. Yeah, and always liked it there,

893
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 1: so did my mom. Well what is the next situation,

894
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 1: let's double it again. Well, if I'm team Wilson, I

895
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 1: need two years, granted I'm around ten in my career.

896
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 1: But if I'm Eric, I need two minimum. I mean,

897
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 1: my man hasn't had a two year contract in ten

898
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:34,840
Speaker 1: years since he was undrafted out of Cincinnati, and assigning

899
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 1: bonus was ten thousand dollars or eighty one of the

900
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:43,359
Speaker 1: two something like that. So I say above seventy and

901
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 1: I think of those that are here, if he's to return,

902
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 1: he will be one of the very first we hear about.

903
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: I like that early, yeah, absolutely, and early in.

904
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 9: The equation only does need a two year deal, a

905
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 9: little guaranteed walking around money, Now, what would you do?

906
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 1: Would you do two and ten and a half? Okay,

907
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,720
Speaker 1: so five and a half a year? Yeah? Or one

908
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,400
Speaker 1: and seven and do it again?

909
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 9: I think you'd do two and twelve and nine of

910
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 9: it is guaranteed.

911
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 6: Wow.

912
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 1: I like that and realized I was doing the show

913
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 1: with Tom Condon.

914
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:22,919
Speaker 9: Well, I'm not spending my own money, so it's easy

915
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:24,359
Speaker 9: for me to throw those numbers out.

916
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 1: Yeah. With Drew Rosenhaus, It's Paul Allen. Welcome to nine

917
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 1: to noon.

918
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 9: Another couple for you here and again Vike's bite style.

919
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 9: This is thanks to Will Raggitt's SI. He puts some

920
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 9: percentages on Vikings free agents. We'll dig more deeply into this,

921
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 9: of course as we near mid March. But Jalen Naylor,

922
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 9: this number got me a little bit. Thirty percent. Thirty

923
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:45,720
Speaker 9: percent on Jalen Naylor.

924
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: I'm I'm lower and he's gone.

925
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 9: And that's that's that's where that number got me. Is

926
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,479
Speaker 9: something I was thinking five percent. He was thinking five

927
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:56,479
Speaker 9: percent that he comes back and that and that would

928
00:49:56,520 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 9: be dictated upon some other you know, not nutty percent,

929
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 9: but some other striking move maybe we haven't figured out

930
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 9: yet that would necessitate keeping keeping mister.

931
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 1: Naylor in the mess well quickly with Jalen, he improved

932
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 1: last year. He's worked through some some drop problems. Uh.

933
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 1: He he improved this year with the totality of his game.

934
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: But he has speed. He's maybe the fastest guy on

935
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:23,839
Speaker 1: the team, or one of the two fastest. I've never

936
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 1: been told whether he runs good or bad routes, but nevertheless,

937
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: speed is coveted in the National Football League at the

938
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: receiver spot. If only like think l A Rams, because

939
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: if he's made available, I think he fits with the

940
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 1: Rams do really well. Pooka Nakua is high end MVP

941
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 1: type guy, but he ain't that fast. So therefore you

942
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: get speed on a team that has a player like Nikua. Yeah,

943
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:52,320
Speaker 1: and well, then now you have to honor that speed

944
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: because it's done some damage in the NFL. And I

945
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 1: would think that would that would only help like Pooka

946
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 1: Pooka status five Carson Wentz.

947
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 9: I like that he included this year quarterback conversation is

948
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 9: going to be the absolute a topic. Of course, he

949
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 9: put him at five percent, but it is something where

950
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 9: we're gonna have to start scratching our heads on the

951
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,760
Speaker 9: names via free agency at the quarterback spot.

952
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 1: Not exactly world changing. Names got super steamy over will

953
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,800
Speaker 1: They got super steamy over the weekend. What West Durham

954
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 1: the Falcons box told us last week? Yeah, when I

955
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:28,839
Speaker 1: talked about Coz buzz with Kevin Calm and he's like,

956
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 1: you know, March thirteenth, that's a big number. Kirk might

957
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: not be big on restructuring. Yeah, So I do believe

958
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: Cousins will be attainable right in a month, month and

959
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 1: change or whenever you have somewhere around there. No, I

960
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 1: think he will.

961
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 9: It goes back to something we said a month ago,

962
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 9: maybe right after the season. If he comes in, he

963
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 9: will win the job. I mean, is it two? Am

964
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 9: I two? Out of my mind just for saying that,

965
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 9: if Kirk Cousins comes in and it's a true competition,

966
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 9: I think Kirk wins that job.

967
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:02,919
Speaker 1: Well, Kirk's not coming here unless he's told he wins

968
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 1: the job. So I mean, if Kirk's here, he's your

969
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:10,280
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. That the Wentz number of five is good.

970
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 1: If Carson were back with the team fully healthy, with

971
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,799
Speaker 1: a full off season, I wouldn't be negative on that.

972
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 1: Personally speaking, neither would I.

973
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 9: That's a little Vices Bites for you. Nice job over

974
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,360
Speaker 9: on a little baby game before we head out to Milan.
