I have no idea. 5 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 2: I remember we once told Adam Feeling to watch the 6 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 2: there we. 7 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 1: Once suggested that, right, Adam, I think we did. 8 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 4: You did.

I haven't 9 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 4: got to it yet, but I do need to watch it. 10 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 5: How many are ahead of it right now? On that 11 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 5: list that it's down there? 12 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 4: Probably it's probably number two. I actually don't think there's 13 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 4: a number one. 14 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 3: So, oh yeah, got it.

It was before you 34 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: went to Carolina. Do you remember that season? It was 35 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: like two or three or four years ago where every 36 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 1: holiday the Vikes had a game. 37 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,919 Speaker 2: It was like Halloween, Thanksgiving. 38 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: It was like a nightmare schedule for probably you being 39 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: away from the family for all the holidays. But hey, 40 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: you don't have to go to Detroit, I assume until Saturday, 41 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: so perfect timing tonight. 42 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 4: It is honestly, the holiday games I actually really enjoy, 43 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 4: except for Halloween, but like Thanksgiving, play on Thanksgiving up 44 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 4: the whole weekend with the family. You actually get more 45 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 4: time with the family on Alidays, which actually works out 46 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 4: pretty good. The same thing with like Christmas. You know, 47 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 4: you play and then you get the weekend off of 48 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 4: it's like a Thursday game. I think we play on 49 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 4: Christmas this year on Thursday and then you get the 50 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 4: whole weekend. It's like it's almost even better. So I 51 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 4: don't mind those games, but Halloween it's tough to it's 52 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 4: tough to miss that night with the kids. 53 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 5: So last week's game Adam was obviously a tough one. 54 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 5: Nothing went right. So how do you guys bounce back 55 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 5: from that? Is it one that you just throw it 56 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 5: out and say forget it, ever happened and let's focus 57 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 5: on the next week. Or were you guys having to 58 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:21,119 Speaker 5: watch a bunch of film and sort of soak in it. Yeah? 59 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 4: No, I think it's it's probably better to talk about it, 60 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 4: Maybe get a little bit more detailed in the film study, 61 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 4: maybe a little bit more aggressive from the coaches as 62 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 4: far as how they approached, you know, talking about the 63 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 4: film and things like that, and then get just get 64 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 4: back on the grass. I think that's the best thing 65 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 4: you can do as an athlete after a tough performance 66 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 4: individually or a tough performance as a team, is just 67 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 4: get back on the grass, Go bust your butt, go 68 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 4: put your head to the stone, and just figure out 69 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 4: a way to get better individually, and then again just 70 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,519 Speaker 4: get back out there on Sunday. At the end of 71 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 4: the day, it's easy to forget about the game. Wants 72 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 4: to get back out there in the next one right 73 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 4: because everyone else forgets about it and it doesn't matter anymore. 74 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 4: So that's what we're excited about. We've had a great 75 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 4: week of practice of just getting after it and doing 76 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 4: everything we can to put our best foot forward against 77 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 4: a really, really good football team. And that's probably another 78 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 4: great thing is it's not like we're just playing a 79 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 4: random team. We're playing a division employment who's kind of 80 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 4: had this division on lock. So we know we got 81 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 4: to bring our best. We know that we had to 82 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 4: prepare with our best effort this week and excited for 83 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 4: that challenge. 84 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: Adam, what have you seen from JJ McCarthy behind the 85 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: scenes getting ready for this game on Sunday and just 86 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: in general as he's been hurt for the last couple 87 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: of weeks. 88 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 4: I think this week just his attitude and just his 89 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 4: attention to detail. It's not just a guy who's just 90 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 4: kind of going through the emotions or just trying to 91 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 4: do his job. It's a guy who's doing it with 92 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 4: an intentionality and an attitude, which is one of the 93 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 4: things that stuck out me when I first met JJ 94 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 4: and was able to throw throw with him in the summers. 95 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 4: It's just his attitude, like it's an infectious kind of 96 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 4: positive but competitive attitude that he brings to his work, 97 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 4: you know, and and how he approaches the game. So 98 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 4: that's what I've seen from him. Excited to see it, 99 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 4: you know, kind of come to Fruition on Sunday and 100 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 4: see what happens. But when when that ball comes spinning 101 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 4: out of his hand, it's it's different. So excited to 102 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 4: see that on game day. 103 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 1: Adam, tell me if any of this is wrong, But 104 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: is the playbook different now than it was like five 105 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: or six weeks ago for JJ, you know, were those 106 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: first two games like a warm up period where they 107 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 1: were trying to get him as comfortable as possible and 108 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: now they can open it up or was it opened 109 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: up six weeks ago? 110 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 4: Well, that that usually comes to life on game day, 111 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 4: you know, for us, during the week, it's you're kind 112 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 4: of just practicing all the plays and and kind of 113 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 4: getting the whole game plan together. And then and then 114 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 4: it really depends on how coach wants to call a 115 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,239 Speaker 4: game of how aggressive he's gonna be with the play 116 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 4: calling or if he's gonna, you know, keep it more 117 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 4: simple or or just get him kind of going a 118 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 4: little bit. So that that kind of comes to fruition 119 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 4: on on Sunday, But as of right now, it doesn't 120 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 4: seem any different for us. As as far as how 121 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 4: we're kind of preparing for third downs and red zone today, 122 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 4: it's kind of seems very similar to what it's been 123 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 4: all season. 124 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 3: At any point, did you feel like maybe walking over 125 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 3: to Carson and just giving him a hug. 126 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 5: No. 127 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 4: Usually in those situations, I give those guys face because 128 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 4: I don't want to talk to anybody man. But I 129 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 4: did hear some moaning and groaning on the sideline that 130 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 4: I just had to go check out and make sure 131 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 4: everything's good. 132 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 3: I mean, I know you guys play through pain. That's 133 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 3: that's why you make big money. That's part of the mentality. 134 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 3: That's why I sit in this chair and I'm not 135 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 3: doing what you do. Along with the fact that I 136 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 3: run about a nine five forty, But that's an immense 137 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 3: amount of pain on his face and then you hear 138 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 3: about the injuries. I can't believe he played through what 139 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 3: he played through. And I know people have said it 140 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 3: at nauseum this week, but feel free to say it again. 141 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 2: How tough is that guy? 142 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's tough. He's tough and he proved it obviously 143 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 4: the last two weeks, and I think that means a 144 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 4: lot to your teammates. I think when you play it 145 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 4: through stuff like that, you got it out, you try 146 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 4: to do whatever it takes to help your team win. 147 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 4: That that stuff means more than giving a motivational speech, right, 148 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 4: that that stuff really shows how much you care about 149 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 4: the team and not just yourself, because he easily could 150 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 4: have taken himself on a I'm gonna go get surgery, 151 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 4: do my thing and knowing what a blinked, but that 152 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 4: just shows a lot about who he is and and 153 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 4: you know his team mentality. So a lot of appreciation 154 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 4: for him over the last two weeks and and just 155 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 4: getting to know him over you know whatever nine weeks 156 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 4: that that I've been here, so uh, just definitely thankfully 157 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 4: on our team. 158 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: For correct me if I'm wrong again. I don't know 159 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 1: if we've asked you this in the last couple of weeks. 160 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 1: Have you got a good look at either of will 161 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: Reikers kicks that have controversially maybe hit a wire or not. 162 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 2: Do you have a take on those wire kicks? 163 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 4: I believe the first one for sure hit the wire, 164 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 4: even live. I was like that was that something was 165 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 4: weird about that, and then obviously all the clips after. 166 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 4: I'm not sure about the other one, but definitely the 167 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 4: first one interesting. 168 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: Okay, that's It's one of the things that we were 169 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: stuck on on. Definitely I was stuck on on the 170 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: first one. Was that there wasn't more outrage from Rikert himself, 171 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: and I would think that he would be the one 172 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: that would have seen it hit a wire. But I 173 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: just can't believe at him that that the wires are 174 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: even on that half of the field and even remotely 175 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: near where the ball could go. And maybe that's something 176 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: the NFL is going to have to look into. 177 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, supposedly, I think they've had another issue with it. 178 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 4: And maybe maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm just making this up, 179 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 4: but I feel like they've had another issue in the 180 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 4: past and the international games with it. So maybe it's 181 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 4: something different with who's operating it, maybe not as much 182 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 4: experience with operating that, but I don't think there's been 183 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 4: really any issues in any game other than the international game. 184 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 4: So yeah, like you said, I I really don't get it, 185 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 4: well how it could even be close, especially on a 186 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 4: field goal, right, But but yeah, it definitely looked like 187 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 4: I hit it. 188 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 2: That makes sense, all right, man. Best of luck on Sunday. 189 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: Get out there and hopefully JJ slings it get in 190 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: the end zone a couple of times. 191 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 2: Man, good luck against the Lions. We'll talk to you 192 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 2: next week, buddy. 193 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 4: So yep.
