1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:01,400
Speaker 1: Now now Pete.

2
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 2: Other than the final quarter at Chicago, the Bengals game,

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 2: and the Addison drive in London, why is consistency and

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 2: float fluidity so hard for the Minnesota Vikings offense to

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 2: attain this year?

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: In good morning?

7
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, good morning, Yeah. I mean that's that's the that's

8
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 3: a million dollar question. I mean, part of it is

9
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 3: maybe it's the fourteenth Is it the fourteenth iteration of

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 3: the offensive line that we've gone through?

11
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: Fifteenth pressure day.

12
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 3: Fifteenth Yeah, Addison was in Addison was that We've had

13
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 3: a lot of a lot of flux, a lot of

14
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 3: changes offensively. You know, you can make I don't know

15
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 3: if you want to make excuses or what, but man,

16
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 3: it's the timing of a lot of these mistakes have

17
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 3: been have been killers too, and a lot of them

18
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 3: have occurred in the red zone over the last you know,

19
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 3: so far this season. Exactly why that is, I don't know.

20
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 3: I think you have to be closer to the team

21
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 3: and be part of it to really to know exactly

22
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 3: why those things are. But you know, the turnovers have

23
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 3: been have been big too. Fumbling was seemed to be

24
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 3: the problem, you know yesterday obviously it was you know,

25
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 3: two interceptions, but being minus six, PAULI like you brought

26
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 3: that up a number of times during the broadcast yesterday.

27
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 3: Those are you know, you're high on You're high on

28
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 3: the penalty side as far as total penalties at least

29
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 3: going into the game. You know you're you're in the

30
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 3: minus column overall at minus six. You look at where

31
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 3: those interception in turnal numbers were a year ago compared

32
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 3: to you know, to this year. That explains, you know,

33
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 3: that explains quite a bit. I mean, we're we're we're

34
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 3: seeing it played by play by play, but when you

35
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 3: take a step back and you look at those things,

36
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: those you know, those numbers are telling part of the

37
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 3: story as well. So I'm will until we stopped being

38
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 3: our own worst enemy. You know, these games are going

39
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 3: to be close, and these teams are going to maybe

40
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 3: you know, not go our way or go our way

41
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 3: only half the time.

42
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: Uh Isaiah Rodgers. They attacked their former teammate yesterday. And

43
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 2: some can say put him on a bad game, some

44
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: can say put him on a mediocre game. Doesn't matter

45
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: to me it. Nevertheless, the team, uh as a whole,

46
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: did not win. But nevertheless, why did that happen? They

47
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 2: went at their former teammate and they were.

48
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, the you know, the the DeVante Smith touchdown.

49
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 3: Paul I got to see that. I want to. I

50
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 3: gotta go in and see it again, as much as

51
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 3: it's going to pay pay to pay me to see it.

52
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 3: But again, it was a I don't know the what

53
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 3: they what the idea was coverage wise, and whether or

54
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 3: not THEO Jackson should have been involved at all, because

55
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 3: it appeared like that it appeared that Isaiah Rodgers had

56
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,839
Speaker 3: no help zero right, He didn't have any help toward

57
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 3: the middle of the field because the ball was, let

58
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 3: you know, was throwing more toward the middle of the

59
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 3: field where normally you would have a free safety or

60
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 3: somebody else there to help with that, and he looked

61
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 3: like he.

62
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: Was on an island.

63
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 3: And it didn't appear to be a zero blitz either,

64
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 3: although we did have six or I think six guys

65
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 3: with the line of scrimmage, so I don't know what

66
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,119
Speaker 3: happened there, but looking at it, something wasn't right.

67
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: Now I'm looking at it now.

68
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 2: They rushed five Harrison Hitman threatened an a gap blitz,

69
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: then he backed off. So now about thirty five yards

70
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: from the line of scrimmage, Hurts per usual, bouncing around

71
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: with nobody close to him.

72
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: That factors into it too. He ses Smith.

73
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: And a Davante man, I mean when you watch this,

74
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: you just got to tip your cap to him. He

75
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 2: darted to the left all right, which would be by

76
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: the bench, and then went right back to the right.

77
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 2: He got Rogers to turn the wrong way and then

78
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: just put that four four in play and the game

79
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 2: was over.

80
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, put the double move on him. And that's that's

81
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 3: what That's the same thing that aj Brown did on that,

82
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 3: you know, the third down play right at the end

83
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 3: of the game. That was a yeah, we're we're gonna

84
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 3: get a zero blitz here. Uh Jalhen Hurts was never

85
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 3: going to set his feet. He was just going to

86
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 3: backpedal and throw throw a fade. He was going to

87
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 3: put a double move on him. We were, you know,

88
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 3: we were trying to prevent them from getting the first down.

89
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 3: So when he zero blitz, you can't give up a

90
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 3: first down. You're going to be jumping the slant right,

91
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 3: and they ran a slant and go and think about

92
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 3: I mean, think about that playball. We we they threw

93
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 3: a play too. Was a player too before and stop

94
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 3: the clock and you're thinking, my god, are they're going

95
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 3: to throw the ball again? And if it's incomplete, they

96
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 3: stopped the clock again, and we don't have to use

97
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 3: a time out. I mean, that's a that's a gutsy call. Uh,

98
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 3: and they it and they executed it. So you know

99
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 3: that's uh, you don't have tip to them, I guess

100
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 3: in that regard because so say that they systemically won

101
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 3: after Isaiah Rodgers, I don't necessarily I don't agree. I mean, again,

102
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 3: only how many times did they throw the football?

103
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: Right?

104
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 3: Thirteen times? I mean maybe sixteen. They didn't even throw

105
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 3: the ball that much. Yeah, And so I don't necessarily

106
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 3: think that, you know, that's that's necessarily the case. Eighteen completions.

107
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 2: You got me down the rabbit hole on this play,

108
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 2: all right, this DeVante Smith double move at the forty

109
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 2: All right, now, that's you know, okay, Isaiah if the

110
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 2: if the technique is ten of ten and I ain't

111
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 2: trying to be Georgia o' larry here, and you know,

112
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 2: pretend like I know technique inside now, I just know

113
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: I haven't seen Isaiah Rodgers do this at any point

114
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 2: this year. And DeVante Smith kind of handled him on

115
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: this double move at the forty and there he goes

116
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: for seventy nine. THEO Jackson is middle of the field

117
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 2: between the hash marks. He's right behind AJ Brown and

118
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: he's in a perfect spot because there are two guys

119
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 2: in front of AJ between the hash marks. Jalen's going

120
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 2: to see that. He's like, I ain't taking that cheese.

121
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 2: It might get picked off. And THEO had the the

122
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: Angel on the shoulder, over the top coverage on AJ

123
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 2: middle of the field, and then he went busting tail

124
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: to help on DeVante, but it was too late.

125
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, I see what you saw there.

126
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 3: But again it's oh, you have five man If you

127
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 3: have a five man rush, you're going to be short

128
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 3: a guy in the back end. Right, You're going to

129
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 3: be short somebody back in the back end. So if

130
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 3: you're losing somebody and coverage, the rush needs to get there,

131
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 3: and it didn't. So that's kind of that's kind of like,

132
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 3: you know, there's a number of different things that happened

133
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 3: on that play. It's not just one guy. It's not

134
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 3: just one thing. It's it's it's a it's a number

135
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 3: of different things.

136
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 4: Uh.

137
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 5: Speaking of a number of different things. A lot of

138
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 5: things factor into creating turnovers. Right, Kings tied to top

139
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 5: the NFL a year ago. They were really really good

140
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 5: at it or were they just opportunistic because I don't

141
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 5: know what you've been seeing, Pete.

142
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: Uh.

143
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 5: They get one apiece in the Bears and Falcons game,

144
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 5: then it's a buffet against the Bengals. Five takes in

145
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 5: the historically unbelievable game by Isaiah Rodgers. What is your

146
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 5: level of concern with the fact that the defense has

147
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 5: created zero turnovers in three consecutive games.

148
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it had. It's the weirdest thing that it kind

149
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 3: of comes in waves. It comes in waves like that.

150
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 3: And as far as the you know, the forced fumbles

151
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 3: go uh you know, point of emphasis getting more than

152
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 3: one guy to the football, we had some. You know,

153
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 3: we play Cleveland, you have some big runs and you know,

154
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 3: when you're chasing guys down from behind and doing that,

155
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 3: you're not thinking about punching the football out and doing

156
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 3: those things right, You're you're just worried about getting the

157
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 3: guy on the ground when you're when you're getting worn

158
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 3: out on the ground. The interceptions, uh, hips and overthrows

159
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 3: and the overall I mean Jalen Hurts was sacked three

160
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 3: times yesterday, I believe, but overall I don't recall him

161
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 3: being under pressure quite a bit. Those are the hits, right,

162
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 3: those are the hurries, And when those things happen, that's

163
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 3: when you start getting the overthrows. That's when you start

164
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 3: getting tips and guys trying to force the football. And

165
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 3: they didn't. They just didn't get Jalen under any type

166
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 3: of duress pressure. And he had time. I mean, you know,

167
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 3: he had time to tell a j. Brown to turn

168
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 3: that flat route into a go route when Josh Mittelis

169
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 3: was on him, right, I mean he was. It was.

170
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 3: It was like a seven on seven drill at times.

171
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 3: And when that when the when quarterbacks are that comfortable

172
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 3: and receivers are that comfortable, then you're not You're not

173
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 3: going to get those turnovers. So to get back on

174
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 3: that turnover train, you're gonna need to get out of

175
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 3: the quarterback more. We've been blitzing. I mean, we still

176
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 3: blitzed as much, if not more than anybody in the league,

177
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 3: but we're blitzing less. We're only we're below forty percent.

178
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 3: We're down a third. We were going into this game,

179
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 3: we were at thirty seven point seven percent, which is

180
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 3: probably four or five or six percent less than what

181
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 3: we've been doing kind of historically. So you know, getting

182
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 3: away from that. That's the one change on defense I

183
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 3: think we might see by Thursday. It's going to be

184
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 3: hard to do, not for you know, putting in a

185
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 3: bunch of different plays in a short week, but we

186
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 3: definitely have to get after Herbert. We definitely have to

187
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 3: get on because he's another guy that doesn't throw a

188
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 3: lot of interceptions, but because they were behind in the score,

189
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,359
Speaker 3: because yesterday they were forced to throw the football forty

190
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 3: some or fifty times, you have to make something happen.

191
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 3: That's how Indy got hit. You know, he only threw

192
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 3: two interceptions all season last year, and he threw I

193
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 3: think three yesterday, so you know through three in a

194
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 3: playoff game as well. So you have to get pressure

195
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 3: on that guy. You got to get him off of

196
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 3: the spot, you got to get him to move. He's

197
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 3: just so good with the short passing game. So the

198
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 3: answer to that, Nordo, I think is we need to

199
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 3: start getting bait. We need to get bag ginkle back,

200
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 3: and we need to start getting pressure on the quarterback.

201
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 3: Get them you know, and again the sacks are important,

202
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 3: but that number doesn't tell you all the story. It's

203
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 3: about what you see and if the quarterback is just

204
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 3: trying to make something happen in Indy under duress, I

205
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 3: don't think Jalen Hurtz was that uncomfortable in the pocket yesterday.

206
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 2: A couple of things here. The analyst Lad Nordo brought

207
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 2: it up. The Vikings are now minus four in the

208
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: ever important take gif minus four, which is one behind

209
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 2: the juggernaut known as the Tennessee Titans l at minus

210
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 2: three and one clear of the juggernaut known as the

211
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 2: Las Vegas Raiders l at minus five now minus so

212
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 2: they remind us to yesterday and the take give and

213
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 2: allow to pick six, you're a three percent winner in

214
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 2: NFL games.

215
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: When that happens.

216
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 2: You go minus two and you allow a pick six

217
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: or a return touchdown punt kick or pick six or

218
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 2: bumble recovery, and you're a three percent winner.

219
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: It's just not what we're used to around here, right.

220
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 3: No, absolutely right. And that play, that play that Jalx

221
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 3: Hunt made, that was that was a damn good defensive play.

222
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 3: I mean, the way the play was set up with

223
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 3: the tight end. We had Hockinson, I believe out why

224
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 3: and JJ was in the slot. You do that to

225
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 3: see if you got manner zone. The corners were walked out,

226
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 3: we had receivers in the slot. The ball was going

227
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 3: to go somewhere in the middle of the field. And

228
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 3: then they wanted to show a blitz and they did

229
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 3: the same thing we do with Andrew Van Ginckle. They

230
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 3: just dropped Jlyx Hunt off and uh, you know, Carson

231
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 3: Wentz saw the pressure and wanted to get rid of

232
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 3: that football quickly. He's trying to get it to Jefferson

233
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 3: in between the safety and one of the linebackers, and

234
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 3: and and Jylex Hunt just put himself exactly in that alley,

235
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 3: and you know, stepped up made a play. And I

236
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 3: mean we again, we've seen it a bunch of times,

237
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 3: you know, through Andrew van ginkel So that that was

238
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 3: that was a damn defensive play again, you go, I

239
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 3: mean thinking about it, Parson Wentz was under durest at

240
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 3: times yesterday. Was he not he was running for his life?

241
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 3: It was he didn't he didn't extend plays. There maybe

242
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 3: a couple to throw the throw of the throw to Hockinson,

243
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 3: that you know, was a touchdown, not a touchdown or whatever.

244
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 3: You know, that was him extending a play and not

245
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 3: necessarily being imminent that he's going to get destroyed, but

246
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 3: it was that was just that was just a damn

247
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 3: good play by a Philly defense.

248
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 5: How how difficult is it because the way that I'm

249
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 5: seeing it, PA hit me with a stat early and

250
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 5: I hadn't looked at this snapcounts Pete that Javon Hargrave

251
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 5: only played eighteen snaps yesterday, So a guy that I

252
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 5: did see making plays at various points throughout the game.

253
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 5: Jalen Redman and kind of an a topic into the

254
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 5: game stopping Saquon Barkley, win, lose, draw this thing, Saquon

255
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 5: ain't gonna get loose, And how how tough is that

256
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 5: balance where I want to shut down what Saquon is

257
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 5: able to do, but also some of those coverage things

258
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 5: and such that you were talking about in terms of

259
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 5: limiting Jalen hurts, do they have to be mutually exclusive

260
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 5: or is this part of a package that just kind

261
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 5: of went the wrong way?

262
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 3: And you it's very it can be very difficult to do.

263
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 3: And that's the that's kind of the dilemma that the

264
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 3: Philly offense puts you in. Right, they have a good

265
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 3: three wide receiver offense, which makes you want to play nickel,

266
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 3: and then they want to run the ball with Saquon

267
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 3: Barkley when they if you watch, if you watch them

268
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 3: against the Giants, they were a three wide offense. I

269
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 3: believe like eighty percent of the time. I mean, they

270
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 3: want three wide receivers a lot. Now what's interesting is now,

271
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 3: in the last three weeks, we have seen substituted offensive

272
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 3: linemen for tight ends. Right, Pittsburgh did it, Cleveland did it.

273
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 3: That's the AFC, Norris, they do that over there. Then

274
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 3: Philly all of a sudden comes in and says, you

275
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 3: know what we're gonna do? You know, yeah, we're missing

276
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 3: some tight ends. I believe Grant I don't even Grantson

277
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 3: even played. They're like, Okay, we're gonna throw an external

278
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 3: offensive lineman and we're gonna, you know, we're gonna. We're

279
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 3: gonna bring in Fred Johnson, throw him at tight end

280
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 3: and then throw the ball deep on you. We're gonna,

281
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 3: you know. And so it seems to me that that's

282
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 3: that's the direction. Instead of spreading this defense out they're

283
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 3: adding bodies to it and trying to get the fronts

284
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 3: and the adjustments and different things to you. So my

285
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 3: point when the Vikings defensive seeing bigger offensive linemen, they're

286
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 3: adding bigger bodies on the field and teams are using that.

287
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 3: Now throw out the football. These Atilly did Actilly did

288
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 3: that a number a couple of times. So it's always

289
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 3: it's always an ebb and flow and it's not it's

290
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 3: not easy to do. We played more format front yesterday

291
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 3: than I'd seen in quite some time because I think

292
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 3: we were expecting that free wide offense and we didn't

293
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 3: quite get it. So there were some adjustments I think

294
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 3: to that from a personnel and and scheme standpoint. But

295
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 3: the the the productivity up front, yeah, we we need

296
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 3: we need more of it, and it's it's not easy

297
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 3: to do. And I don't know what else to say

298
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 3: on that. I mean, Ivan Pace not being out there

299
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 3: was a big story. I don't know what's going on

300
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 3: with that, but you know, getting Cashman and having Eric Wilson,

301
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 3: you know, Eric Wilson had but sack and a half yesterday,

302
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 3: so it looks like, you know, looks like we got

303
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 3: a little bit of a change there at the lineback position.

304
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know, hey has.

305
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 5: The magic dust switching over to the offensive side of

306
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 5: the ball, has the has the magic warn't off Brandell

307
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 5: such a great performance in London and then I know

308
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 5: bad beat on the holding penalty, but whether it was

309
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 5: the crazy snap and he was absolutely And Jalen Carter

310
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 5: is a high end player.

311
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: I know that.

312
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 5: But Jayleen, I mean you want to talk about turnstyle

313
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 5: on that pick six play?

314
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: Just what did you see?

315
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 5: You know, maybe we can extend this from Brandell to

316
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 5: just in general what you saw from that fifteenth incarnation

317
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 5: of the Minnesota Vikings offensive line yesterday.

318
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, Brandell, it's his second game

319
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 3: at the position. You know, whether or not, you know,

320
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 3: somebody else that they can throw in there is going

321
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 3: to do better. That's promp sure what they're going to

322
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 3: evaluate in this short week. That's why it's tough. But yeah,

323
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 3: he has to play better, no question about it. Only

324
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 3: a second game there. The mistakes that were made. This

325
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 3: is the issue when you play a team like Philadelphia

326
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 3: is again you know other teams that you play, you

327
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 3: might be able to make a mistake or two and

328
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 3: then be able to overcome them. But when you play

329
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 3: in Philadelphia or you know, the form the Super Bowl champs,

330
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 3: you're just not going to be able to do that.

331
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 3: And you know, those mistakes, those were those mistakes were

332
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 3: costly Man. That snap over the head in the red zone.

333
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 3: That that one to me, that that one bothers me

334
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 3: kind of the most because there are a lot of

335
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 3: people on this planet that play offensive line. That said

336
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 3: that Dalen Carter beat him one on one on a

337
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 3: pass rush. I mean that happens. Jalen Carter is very,

338
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 3: very good. But snapping the ball over the quarterback's head

339
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 3: when he's six foot four, you know, six foot five,

340
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 3: we can't. You know, those are the things that we

341
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 3: just can't do.

342
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 2: Pete pursat Sue Cup Manufacturing and Sue Cup dot Com.

343
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Sue Cup. Just a couple more

344
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 2: before we close here, Pete. But back back to just

345
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 2: to dubtail off Nordo's question about Javon hark Ray. He

346
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 2: played eighteen plays yesterday. He only played eighteen plays. That's

347
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 2: fewer than Levi Drake Rodriguez. Okay, when Redman has been

348
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 2: the best defensive lineman the team's had all season. Okay,

349
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 2: so he played fewer than Redmond, all right, but eighteen plays?

350
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: Why why do you think?

351
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 3: I don't know. Again, I see that. That's why I'm

352
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 3: kind of going back to did we get what we

353
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 3: expected out of Philadelphia?

354
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: Again?

355
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 3: With the multiple we had multiple tight ends, we had

356
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 3: twelve personnel, more than we'd ever seen, the extra offensive lineman.

357
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 3: So whether or not that meant a different defensive line

358
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 3: that was going to be their adjustment. So, by my

359
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 3: point being, I don't know, this is a question I

360
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 3: would want to I would want to ask is that

361
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 3: by is that by design? Or is that by what

362
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 3: Philly was able? Because offenses will do that, they'll put

363
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,199
Speaker 3: certain personnel groups on the field because they know certain

364
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 3: defensive players will be on the field. So was that

365
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 3: one of the reasons why Hargrave didn't play that much?

366
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 3: Because in a three wide offense, Hardgrave is going to

367
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 3: be in the entire game. And then they decided to

368
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 3: go to a heavier personnel group, and that meant our

369
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 3: great came off. And let's say Drake Rodriguez went in

370
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 3: or or or somebody else up front, so or you know,

371
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 3: or or Jalen Redman. So I don't know. I mean

372
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 3: he needs to be on the field a lot more.

373
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 3: All those guys, all those guys in the middle, I mean,

374
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 3: Jalen Redman is showing a lot of more of what

375
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 3: we saw of the three guys that we had up

376
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 3: front with Tillery and Harrison, Phillips and Ballard. Right, remember

377
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 3: the movement we would see out of them, and the

378
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 3: stunts and the different things that TFLs every once in

379
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 3: a while that that group up front needs to get

380
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 3: it needs to get together and kind of get back

381
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 3: to that and whatever that is, whether it's fundamental technique,

382
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 3: alignment of signal, what it is that that that group needs.

383
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 3: But they need to slidify those things inside.

384
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: All right, we're in a hurry time for two. Let

385
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: me ask you this.

386
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 5: I've been pretty hard whether it was fan line yesterday,

387
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 5: I've been pretty hard on Carson Wentz and his accuracy

388
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 5: and his decision making yesterday. And I'm just curious from

389
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 5: what you saw, Pete, is there an element of this

390
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 5: where we can say, man, he's playing hurt and that's

391
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 5: impacting things. Or did we see a significant regression and

392
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 5: just a hideous game from the veteran.

393
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, you might saw a little bit of everything.

394
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 6: Though.

395
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 3: Oh that's the problem, right, you know. I mean, you

396
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 3: don't know how banged up he really is because we

397
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 3: just don't know him. We'll never know, but there's no

398
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 3: question to your point. And when you watch the game,

399
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 3: you get a feeling for it, right, you get a

400
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 3: feeling full when the quarterback is at the top of

401
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 3: his drop going through his progression, maybe has to get

402
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 3: off the spot. But then those where to go with

403
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 3: it, and we didn't see that as much. He saw some

404
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 3: off scheduled throws, side arm throws, not moving his feet

405
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 3: type throws. And then then on top of that, you

406
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 3: start seeing some subtle inaccuracies on out routes. You know,

407
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,479
Speaker 3: a lot of the out routes like to uh uh

408
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 3: uh to Jordan Addison were fantastic toward the end of

409
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 3: the game, but there were times there where there are

410
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 3: some throws that were should have been completed that weren't. So, yeah,

411
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 3: that's starting to creep in. And what exactly that is,

412
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 3: I don't know, but it is a regression, it is.

413
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 3: It is definitely he looked much less comfortable in the

414
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 3: pocket than he did, you know, two weeks ago, So

415
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,959
Speaker 3: that's kind of that's trending in that way. The chargers

416
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 3: are going to see it, you know what they're going

417
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 3: to want to do about it or how they're gonna

418
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 3: keep I mean, the bottom line is this is you

419
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 3: want to get pressure on onz, right, That's what you

420
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 3: want to do. It's the same thing like with Kirk Cousins.

421
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 3: If you just let Kirk Cousins sit in the pocket,

422
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 3: he's gonna put up three hundred on you. He has

423
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 3: that ability. But when you get him off the spot

424
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 3: and get pressure on him, then good things start to

425
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 3: happen for the defense. And that seems to be the

426
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 3: trend right now. So whether or not, now, whether that's

427
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 3: the injury, whether that whatever, that's fundamental, who knows what

428
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 3: that what that is? Uh, maybe he's worried about the

429
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 3: ball being snapped over his head. Who knows there's something

430
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 3: going on there that's making him look less comfortable the city,

431
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 3: you know, less in charge of the system, per se.

432
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 3: Uh And what that is needs to be needs to

433
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 3: be fixed, needs to be you know, that whole whole

434
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 3: position needs to calm down. We've got so much every

435
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 3: time every time we snapped the ball and dropped back

436
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 3: past it's like it's it's drama, and it's uh, you know,

437
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 3: we need to get we need to get away from

438
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 3: that and get more into the machine side of the

439
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,199
Speaker 3: passing game and the offense.

440
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 2: Let's let's close with amazement.

441
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,479
Speaker 1: I mean this is I think it's amazing. How about this.

442
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 2: If into the game, I told you the Minnesota Vikings

443
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 2: would kill the Philadelphia Eagles on third down, they would

444
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 2: have more rushing yards, they would have five fewer penalties,

445
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 2: and would win the time of possession by almost ten minutes,

446
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 2: and Saquon Barkley would average two point four yards per

447
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 2: carry with a long of nine. You probably would think

448
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,719
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Vikings won by multiple scores, right, But turnovers,

449
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 2: Man's that's kind of been a common thread with this conversation.

450
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 2: I will I'll see you Wednesday. Thank you very much

Speaker 2: Off that lively, energetic and dominating victory over a ranked team.

466
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 2: Kind of a helmet's cool too. Nebraska hasn't been high

467
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 2: end of late, but Nebraska Cornhusk Kirchs football is that

468
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 2: of immortality. And they didn't score a touchdown, they absolutely

469
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 2: got dusted well.

470
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 5: And it was kind of fun too, whether it was

471
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 5: with Burnsy bow Hunter during the week and then getting

472
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 5: the chance to chat with Jeremiah Searles on a couple

473
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 5: of different levels, not just the Purple and the Minnesota

474
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,959
Speaker 5: moving company, but also just Dylan Ryola and oh highly

475
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 5: touted and Nebraska's on something you've mentioned it kind of

476
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 5: third year for Matt Ruhle starting to turn some corners

477
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 5: there and what this defense was able to do against

478
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 5: Ryola and those guys. The other night, nothing short of impressive.

479
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 5: You know, I think with PJ kind of the last

480
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 5: few weeks and you've probably noticed this trend two. You

481
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 5: love the evolution of Drake Lindsay, but you're kind of

482
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 5: going like, hey, that run game, remember, like the kind

483
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 5: of like what you like, what the coach likes to do,

484
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 5: identities of teams, and while the Vikings are still trying

485
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 5: to find it, the Gophers have really established over a

486
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 5: long time now. PJ wants to own the clock. PJ

487
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 5: wants to run the ball, and haven't been able to

488
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 5: do it, like thirty yards in a game, forty five

489
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 5: fifty yards. Here's like, what the heck's going on? And

490
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 5: you need Drake Lindsay to handle business. You sack Rayola

491
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 5: like nine freaking times on Saturday night, and Darius Taylor,

492
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 5: oh my goodness, get into the end zone a man,

493
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 5: but that's seventy one, he's out at the one. Just

494
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 5: the ability to start running the ball. I'm anticipating a

495
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 5: little extra skipping the step of the old ball coach

496
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 5: this morning to the pros before we talk to PJ,

497
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 5: just just to dovetail or extend that that last piece

498
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 5: of what I feel is amazement I laid out for

499
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 5: the analyst. Honestly, if into the game I told you

500
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 5: the Vikings would kill the Eagles on third down, they

501
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 5: would have more rushing yards, five fewer penalties, would win

502
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 5: the time of possession by almost ten minutes, and Barkley

503
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 5: would average two point four yards per carry with a

504
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 5: long of nine. You probably would think the Vikings would

505
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 5: win in a walk, right. But when you're minus two

506
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 5: in the take give and you give up a return touchdown,

507
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 5: punt kick, bumble recovery or jay Lix hunt and the

508
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 5: pick l yesterday, you're a three percent winner. So you

509
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,719
Speaker 5: can kill teams on third down, you can chew the

510
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 5: clock plus ten, you can outrun them, you can have

511
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 5: fewer penalties. But if your minus in that take give

512
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 5: and you give up a return touchdown, you are a

513
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 5: three percent winner. Some more negative detail of amazement, at

514
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 5: least for yours, truly from yesterday. Jalen Hurts a fine quarterback.

515
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 5: Super Bowl fifty nine MVP. He had three touchdowns yesterday.

516
00:26:52,720 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts have three touchdowns and four incomplete passes. So

517
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 2: many touchdowns as incomplete passes?

518
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: You kidding me?

519
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts that was Jalen hurts first game with three

520
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 2: hundred or more passing yards since Week three of last year.

521
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: Stoppin', stopping, stoppin'.

522
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 2: The Minnesota Vikings snapped Saquon Barkley's twenty five games streak

523
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 2: with at least fifty scrimmage yards.

524
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: He had forty two. Still lost, Stoppin', stopping, stopping.

525
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown right a deep pass per

526
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 2: next gen stats, I believe is constituted at twenty yards. Okay,

527
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 2: twenty yards or more. Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown this

528
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 2: season on passes twenty yards or more two of eight

529
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 2: sixty eight yards, zero touchdowns, yesterday three of three one

530
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 2: oh eight and two touchdowns.

531
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: Stoppin', stoppin', stoppin' and uh. The Philadelphia Eagles.

532
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 2: This is Crazyhiladelphia Eagles have gone twenty four consecutive games

533
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 2: without an interception from a cornerback.

534
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: I mean the beaf eaters.

535
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 2: Whether it's whether it's Carter or Davis or Hunt or Bond,

536
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 2: their non corners are picking off passes. Yeah, they went

537
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 2: twenty four in a row. They've gone twenty four in

538
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 2: a row without an interception from a corner back.

539
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: And that's that of amazement.

540
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 5: You know what's crazy is sometimes stats meet a ton

541
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 5: and you pointed it out. But to that end, three

542
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 5: of ten on third down, they're three third downs that

543
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 5: they completed was to DeVante Smith for twenty eight yards.

544
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 5: That was the illegal contact that was declined on a

545
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 5: third and fifteen, a third and thirteen late, remember when

546
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 5: Hurts bent over as if he was anticipating a sack,

547
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 5: found his way to the right answer, gets Aj Brown

548
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 5: for thirteen and then third and nine was the forty

549
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 5: five yard dagger past a J. Brown late in the

550
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 5: game where they were able to effectively kneel it out

551
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 5: from there. And you know, from Alex Lewis on Friday, like, hey,

552
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 5: you give me a look at what the third and

553
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 5: long situations looked like for respective teams, and then I

554
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 5: kind of tell you, well, three of three on their

555
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 5: third and longs in those spots now massive plays that

556
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 5: determine the game. Three of ten, they only needed the three.

557
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 5: That's a good stat head hit right there.

558
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: PJ.

Speaker 6: of the X factor, right, but nonetheless he he didn't

580
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,160

587
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 2: wonderful win over the ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers. And and PJ

588
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 2: first and foremost, good morning, great chatting with you the

589
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 2: Friday night. You know, if you could take us in

590
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 2: the weeds a little bit, and you know with the film,

591
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 2: with the film analyzed and everything, you know that there

592
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 2: are sack stats and stats that we all can see

593
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 2: without watching the All twenty two and know, hey, when

594
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 2: you don't give up a touchdown, that's probably pretty good,

595
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 2: especially in college football. Your defense and being assignment sound

596
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 2: and just thoroughly on point. Yeah, I don't know what

597
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 2: defense is called, but nevertheless they look so assignments sound.

598
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 1: On Friday night, was that the case?

599
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, you hit it right on the HITPA, thanks for

600
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 4: having us on the show. Good to hear you and

601
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,719
Speaker 4: Parker again. And you know we talked about you know,

602
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 4: ft right this entire week, and that was fundamentals and technique,

603
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 4: and you know we're a big fundamental technique type program.

604
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 4: Developmental programs usually are but we talked about this f

605
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 4: team standing for free throws. Free throws are the simplest

606
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 4: part of basketball. You know, Steph Curry's got a ninety

607
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 4: one percent plus free through a shooting percentage, the greatest

608
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 4: percentage in NBA history, And it's the simplest part of

609
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 4: the game. There's no distractions, You're completely in the moment.

610
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,239
Speaker 4: It's all technique and fundamentals. When we play with our

611
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 4: technique in fundamentals and we combine that with how hard

612
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 4: we play within the scheme, we're pretty good. When we

613
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 4: go away from our fundamentals and technique and go try

614
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 4: to make a play outside the fundamentals and technique and

615
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 4: do our own thing, we're not very good. And I

616
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 4: thought our team kind of took that free throw theme

617
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 4: and did a great job all week. It was a

618
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 4: short week, so we had to do a lot of

619
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 4: things in kind of group type tempo, have speed type practice,

620
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 4: and our guys really did a great job focusing on

621
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 4: those fundamentals and techniques, and I thought that's what transferred

622
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 4: over into that defensive performance and the nine sack performance

623
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 4: where it really starts top down, as you know, you

624
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 4: got to be able to cover to get those sacks.

625
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 4: So it was true team defense and just proud that

626
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 4: we were able to do one.

627
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 6: To know, coach, one of the knocks on Dylan Ryola,

628
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 6: especially this season, is that he holds a ball for

629
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 6: a little too long, takes that extra second the pocket.

630
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 6: Is that something you and your defensive coordinator, you and

631
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 6: your staff identified or is this nine staff performance is

632
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 6: just you know, you guys like Carter Man's, Anthony Smith,

633
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:09,719
Speaker 6: Jackson Howard just making plays.

634
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't know if that's a fair assessment, just

635
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 4: because and I've heard that same thing, but because I

636
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,959
Speaker 4: think that, you know, when he doesn't have something on

637
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 4: the run in college football, so I don't know if

638
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 4: it's actually holding on to it too long. I think

639
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 4: that's part of his game is when he can escape,

640
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 4: he can create with his legs. He's so good throwing

641
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 4: on the run that you know, I think he does

642
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 4: escape the pocket really well. I thought what we did

643
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 4: was we were able to minimize and condense and constrict

644
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 4: those escape lanes. I'm not saying we were perfect and

645
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 4: did it all game, but when we did it, we

646
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 4: were able to condense him when he did want to

647
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 4: do it. He really does well we were around that

648
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 4: pocket tighter to him and we're able to get him

649
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 4: on the ground, and when we didn't, he created a

650
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 4: lot of explosive plays for him. So that's kind of

651
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 4: my assessment from it. I have a ton of respect

652
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 4: for him. I think he is an absolute eleakd quarterback

653
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 4: and has such a bright future. I just thought the

654
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 4: game plan was really good for us and worked out

655
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 4: in our favor.

656
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 2: Hey, DJ, maybe I should know this, but I don't.

657
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 2: And earlier in this chat, you described yourselves and your

658
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 2: team as a developmental program. Well, why do you use

659
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 2: that qualifier and what does that mean?

660
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 4: That's a great question. There's not a very short answer

661
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 4: for that. But I think in college football right now,

662
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 4: and there's two types of programs, and then I think

663
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 4: there's one kind of in the middle. There's transactional programs

664
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 4: where you're just maybe paying players to come in. You know,

665
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 4: sometimes you just get in the spring and then you

666
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 4: have a group and you think you have a team,

667
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 4: but maybe you don't have a team and maybe it's.

668
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: Just a group.

669
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 4: And then when things go bad and go sideways, nothing's

670
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 4: really holding that glue together besides maybe money and transactions.

671
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 4: Then you have this transformational side where it's we're not

672
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 4: going to do much transactions. It's just transformational. You know,

673
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 4: get guys as freshmen, go all the way through his

674
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 4: senior year and truly develop them. But I think there's

675
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 4: got to be a mix. I think there can be

676
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 4: transactions within this transformational program. And we love to take

677
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 4: eighty percent of our teampa as high school players. Twenty

678
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 4: percent is portal. We use the portal and we love

679
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 4: multi year portal players because we can keep developing them.

680
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 4: We don't get a lot of the finished products here.

681
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 4: That's what it means. We're taking kids that are high

682
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 4: school players and develop them into great college football players

683
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,720
Speaker 4: and great men and then hopefully high NFL draft picks.

684
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 4: So it's not about where they are when they get here,

685
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 4: it's about where they are when they leave. And I

686
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,879
Speaker 4: think some programs might have both of that. Some might

687
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 4: only have one of that, where they get somebody and

688
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 4: it's totally a finished product. It's all transactional. Ours is

689
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 4: a true developmental relationship, transformational mixed with the little transactions

690
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 4: here in the new age. That's my way of adapting

691
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 4: and not ignoring the new age of college football and

692
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 4: getting the most out of our players academically, athletically, socially,

693
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 4: and spiritually, and making sure this always stays, no matter

694
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 4: if it's more transactional less transactional, always stays a life

695
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 4: program because that is what college football is and I

696
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 4: think always will be until we truly become pro. But

697
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 4: we still call them student athletes. So this program is

698
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 4: going to value their entire life and develop them from

699
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 4: where they are to where they say they want to be.

700
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 4: That would be a developmental program.

701
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: Now, that was beautiful.

702
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 2: That was a sweet preach and man straightforward and honest too.

703
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 2: I mean laying it out like that, thank you, and

704
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 2: you know to dovetail off that. You know, I just

705
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 2: be being around coaches as long as I have. The

706
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 2: noise has to be elevator music. I mean, if you

707
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 2: win thirty in a row, you know, and you're the

708
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 2: new age Bear Bryant, that has to go in one

709
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 2: ear and out the other. If you've lost five in

710
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 2: a row and they think you're terrible, that has to

711
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 2: go in one ear and out the other. The better

712
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 2: of the fear over faith crowd and it's bubbling, you know,

713
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 2: outside of your covenant, but the fear over faith crowd

714
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 2: is worried about the quarterback and the portal because you

715
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 2: hit on one, you hit on a quarterback man, and

716
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 2: and they think the wolves will come calling, if ever

717
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 2: the case, how does one handle that one?

718
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 4: Well, if you've ever been camping, you always know the

719
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 4: wolves are out there. You know, it's your job is

720
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,439
Speaker 4: set up a really good campsite and a really good

721
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 4: place for the wolves.

722
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: And bears can't get you there we go.

723
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 4: I don't worry about those things, you know what I

724
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 4: know what we worry about is creating one of the

725
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 4: greatest experiences life experiences, dynamic experiences that a student athlete,

726
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 4: a football player can absolutely have every single day. And

727
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 4: that's what we create. And if people are going to

728
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 4: value that, they'll stay. If they're not going to value that,

729
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 4: they're going to leave. That's the new world of college athletics.

730
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 4: But our job and my job is to create one

731
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 4: of the best, most dynamic experiences in all of college athletics.

732
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 4: Where we've already had a lot of players turned down

733
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 4: a ton of money, a ton of money PA and

734
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 4: maybe not not even fair. You know, when you're looking

735
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 4: at it, like, how can a young person turn down

736
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 4: that much money? To stay in this program. And I'm

737
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,399
Speaker 4: not saying we're perfect. Yeah, we've lost our fair share,

738
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 4: but we want to make sure that we create an

739
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 4: unbelievable experience where we can have those transactions, but they

740
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,879
Speaker 4: stay because it's transformational. Again, we have a long way

741
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 4: to go. We were one to zero, that's all that meant, yep.

742
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,439
Speaker 4: But we also go after the right fit that want

743
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,879
Speaker 4: to be developed and we feel Drakes that type of kid.

744
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 1: A few more for PJ.

745
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 6: Flack Parker, Yeah, coach, looking forward to next Saturday two

746
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 6: thirty at Kinnick. This this Iowa team, they don't they

747
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 6: don't poise a huge passing threat. They only throw the

748
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 6: ball sixteen times last game. But as you know, Iowa

749
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 6: loves to run the football. We saw nine carries for

750
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 6: one hundred and thirty yards from their quarterback Gronowski. Is

751
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 6: that something you have to kind of keep a spy on.

752
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 6: And what kind of rushing threat does Iowa really pose,

753
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 6: especially at home in front of their home crowd.

754
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll think about Iowa. For people who know much

755
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 4: about Iowa, one have a ton of respect for what

756
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 4: they do and how they do. Kirk Ference is the

757
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 4: absolute legend in college football of transformational developmental programs. And

758
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 4: I have a ton of respects from them. I know

759
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 4: were rivals, but when you look at it, I was

760
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 4: always been really good at running the ball, right. They

761
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:13,919
Speaker 4: got a great offensive line, they got great tight ends.

762
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 4: Their backs are so disciplined and dynamic. Their receivers can

763
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 4: make plays. Now a sudden, you throw a running quarterback

764
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,720
Speaker 4: that can also throw, but he's built like a running

765
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 4: back in that running game. I mean, that's what's so

766
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 4: dangerous about them. They've made themselves even more dangerous than

767
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 4: they've ever been in the running department by adding a

768
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 4: quarterback who has the ability to run as well as throw,

769
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 4: and I mean run like a running back, not just

770
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 4: run to scramble. Ton of respects for what they do.

771
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,280
Speaker 4: Very very difficult to stop, and as you can see,

772
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 4: not many teams are.

773
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 2: And with that Nebraska win, just for a second, this

774
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:54,760
Speaker 2: just hit me is the resolve that you guys displayed

775
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 2: after that Ohio State game and when you joined nine

776
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 2: to noon and you're like, hey, sometimes you just got

777
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 2: to tip your cap offensively, defensively and special teams coaching

778
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 2: and playing.

779
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: They just did it.

780
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 2: I mean they were nine to ten and we weren't,

781
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 2: and so therefore let's move on. Okay, Well you still

782
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 2: got to move on. So what do you do? Nobody solved?

783
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 2: Clearly you'll want to type one versus Perdue. Friday was

784
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 2: kind of a big spot at home and against a

785
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 2: ranked team, and you dusted them. I mean, that's good.

786
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 2: That's culture right there. Culture is such an overused and

787
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 2: trite word this day and age, but in this case

788
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 2: it's not, I would imagine, because if you don't have resolve,

789
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 2: then you've got major, major problems after that.

790
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:39,439
Speaker 1: Buckeye's lost. Right.

791
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I think the word culture gets used and

792
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 4: abused constantly to your point, right, because I don't think

793
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 4: enough people define it and they don't really know what

794
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 4: it is. It's kind of like momentum. To me, it's

795
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,399
Speaker 4: like Pixie does. It's like this word people use, yeah

796
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 4: for somebody really bad defense or really bad offense or

797
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 4: really like I just don't believe in that piece. I

798
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 4: believe in like it's either really good for a reason

799
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,439
Speaker 4: or really bad for a reason. Fix the reason, right,

800
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 4: And and so we define culture as basically just how

801
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 4: you connect people. That's all culture does, whether you're talking

802
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 4: about a religion, whether you're talking about a team, whether

803
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 4: you're talking about business, whether you're talking about.

804
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 1: You know, k fan.

805
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 4: There's a culture around that environment that connects people so

806
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 4: and it's not about just when things are going good.

807
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 4: How do you connect people when things aren't going bad.

808
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 4: To be a really good winner, Pa, you got to

809
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 4: learn how to lose. You don't want to lose, but

810
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,280
Speaker 4: you got to learn how to lose. And our weekly

811
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 4: themes allow us to turn the page no matter if

812
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 4: it was good or bad. Nothing blends into the week before.

813
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 4: We literally have a completely different theme every week. We

814
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 4: have a theme of the year, but then we have

815
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 4: different musical groups that we study every week, and it

816
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 4: turns the page. It's a completely different week. It's a

817
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 4: completely different focus. It's almost impossible to keep thinking about

818
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 4: the week before, whether we win or lose. And this

819
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 4: week's game, people are saying, like, it looked like your identity,

820
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 4: What is our identity? Identity should be what it takes

821
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 4: to win the game? People always say, well, we want balance.

822
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 4: Everybody wants balance. But balance is can you win the

823
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 4: game by throwing if you have to? And can you

824
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 4: win the game by running if you have to? And

825
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 4: in a perfect world. You love to do both, but

826
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 4: they get paid to they're out scholarship, their coaches are good,

827
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 4: so sometimes they take that away. So your identity has

828
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 4: to be what it takes to win the football game

829
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 4: within that particular football game. And you look at that

830
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 4: culture that Shoot, look at yesterday and that comeback for

831
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:40,879
Speaker 4: the Broncos. We what an unbelievable comeback. That's happened two

832
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:42,919
Speaker 4: times out of what a three thirty five hundred games,

833
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 4: four thousand games. But you can see that that was

834
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 4: deeper than just plays. That was a belief system, that

835
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 4: was a culture, that was that was people doing it

836
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 4: and they had to maybe go away from an identity.

837
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 4: And again, I think you hit it right on the

838
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 4: head when you talk about this word culture. I think

839
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 4: it's just it gets thrown around and people want to

840
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,879
Speaker 4: like not talk about it or talk about it too much.

841
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 1: It is what it is. It's how you.

842
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 4: Connect people in good times and bad times. And can

843
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 4: you respond from all that?

844
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, what musical group are you studying this week? And

845
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 2: have you guys ever gone down the road of Parliament

846
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:20,760
Speaker 2: Funkadelic with George Clinton and Bootsy Collins playing the bass.

847
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 4: You know, we haven't done that, but we've done the

848
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 4: Great how Dad that was a few weeks ago. We

Speaker 4: a bunch. We did the Red how Chili Peppers, so

851
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 4: we do all that. We did the Notorious Howe, that

852
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 4: of the Notorious b Igus, Notorious House. It's always has

853
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 4: them how in there. That's our culture. How we play

854
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 4: I got it matters right, So yeah, and know we

855
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 4: play that music all week and that's why probably people

856
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 4: think I'm insane.

857
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:55,560

00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:01,280
Speaker 2: history of music.

Speaker 1: How and Oats drop some how and Oates in there.

862
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 2: I don't know if they like it, but nevertheless it

863
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 2: kind of fits the theme, you know what I mean?

864
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 4: Absolutely. I remember I am my product. At the end

865
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 4: of the day, Pa, it's eighteen to twenty three year olds.

866

Speaker 4: old non developed brain that I've got to find a

870
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 4: way to connect with. So maybe I'll do that one

871
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 4: because we do do a lot of learning in this

872
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,959
Speaker 4: because we got to hit every genre, so I didn't

873
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 4: hit that genre yet, So I think that's a good one.
