00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 2: Friday into the weekend, It's Halloween, and everybody's gonna get

73
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 2: all loose today. The Minnesota Vikings are three and four,

74
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 2: all right. The game eight days ago at so far

75
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 2: against the LA Chargers proved Loserville indeed does sound better

76
00:05:54,680 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 2: in FM. The Lions as usual are quite good and

77
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 2: it beating the Minnesota Vikings five consecutive times. But it's

78
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 2: JJ season, ladies and gentlemen. JJ season.

79
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 3: Take number two, as in J J.

80
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: McCarthy, So let's get excited to watch this kid quarterback

81
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 2: grow as the leader everybody following the Vikings hopes he

82
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: will be. This Lions game has some priorities as nine

83
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 2: to noon rolls, and priority number one would involve said

84
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 2: quarterback JJ McCarthy and some form of improvement some signs

85
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: that we see from JJ McCarthy, whether the Minnesota Vikings

86
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: win or lose. Priority number one let's keep this quarterback

87
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 2: on the field, let's watch him improve, and let's continue

88
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 2: to move on Nordo, good morning.

89
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 7: Good morning. Yeah, that's why I did that segment earlier.

90
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 7: This week is three and four.

91
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:53,679
Speaker 3: That's ugly.

92
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,559
Speaker 7: Injury issues ugly, the quarterback situation due to health ugly ugly.

93
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 7: And at this stage of the game, we're going into

94
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 7: a weekend where Ford Field Halloween asked might feel like

95
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 7: a haunted house. But at this stage, the expectations need

96
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 7: to be altered, and maybe our focus is a fan

97
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 7: base needs to be altered. We want this team to

98
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 7: win every game, there's no doubt about it. But after

99
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 7: the build up to seeing number nine take the field

100
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 7: opening night at Soldier Field, to the ankle injury and

101
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 7: then poof, he's gone for six weeks, the ability to

102
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 7: see this kid back on the field and at the

103
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 7: end of this season, regardless of the record, again, I

104
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 7: want a playoff team. I was sold on a roster

105
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 7: that was a playoff team independent of a quarterback.

106
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 3: That's what I wanted, and that's what I want.

107
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 7: But with number nine at the end of the season,

108
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 7: I want to know what we have in this kid

109
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 7: and seeing some levels whatever that is materially of improvement,

110
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 7: whether it's time and rhythm of the offense, decision making,

111
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 7: using that mobility, protecting himself in the pocket, having a

112
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 7: couple of badass tackles at his disposal on Sunday certainly

113
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 7: will help. But seeing that improvement from JJ is a

114
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 7: topic for me.

115
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 2: Alex Lewis covers the Minnesota Vikings for the Athletic and

116
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 2: the Athletic dot Com, which means he's at all the

117
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: press conferences, including offensive coordinator Wes Phillips and or head

118
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: coach Kevin O'Connell. He's gathering all of the steam during

119
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: the course of the week. JJ McCarthy, take number two,

120
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: What are you feeling?

121
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 3: What are you hearing? And good morning? First of all,

122
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 3: I thought you were gonna dress up. I did, as

123
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 3: Jay leno. I mean we didn't talk about it. I

124
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 3: really I expected you to walk in with some Ah.

125
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: What do I you know?

126
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 3: With JJ? And good morning? Good morning? Thank you by

127
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 3: the way, Uh with JJ, I'm kind of gonna flip it.

128
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 8: Like the thought before this season was that he was

129
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 8: being handed the keys to this ferrari, and this has

130
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 8: not been a ferrari.

131
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 3: It's been like a Mazda. And that's really like, I know.

132
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 8: No offense anybody who drives a Mazda or Mazda for

133
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 8: sponsored or endorsed by Mazda.

134
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 7: But your local Mazda dealers brings you. This portion of the.

135
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 8: Fact is the offensive line has not been nearly good enough,

136
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 8: so much of that is a byproduct of health. And

137
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 8: then the interior defensive line that was overhauled this offseason

138
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 8: has not been good enough either. And the more I

139
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 8: watch this league, the more I cover this league, it's

140
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 8: really two things.

141
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 3: Can you run the football? Can you stop the run?

142
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 8: He can't do those two things, it's probably not worth

143
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 8: even talking about anything else. So around JJ this weekend,

144
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 8: from a protection standpoint, can that group be engaged? And

145
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 8: then defensively, can the Vikings take some of the pressure

146
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 8: off of him for him to do what he needs

147
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 8: to do, which is stay healthy, see the field well,

148
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 8: get the ball out quick, and be accurate like those

149
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 8: That's the thing when in the first two games he

150
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 8: held the ball too long and he wasn't accurate enough.

151
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 3: Those have to rise to a certain level.

152
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 8: But he has to be put in a position where

153
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 8: not everything is absolutely.

154
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 2: On him for this thing to go Okay Sunday Priority

155
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 2: number two Sunday Noon for the boom Ford Field Bastin

156
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 2: never expanding KFAM, Minnesota Vikings Audio Network. Look the part

157
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 2: of an organized bunch, all right now? Eight days ago,

158
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 2: you know when Loserville was sounding better in FM. Looking

159
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 2: the part of an organized bunch, to a certain extent

160
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: means limiting penalties and seeing things or enduring things in

161
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 2: games offensively or defensively that aren't going the right way

162
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 2: and not taking an hour for them to change. Those

163
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 2: would be a couple of examples. This is a tough

164
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 2: team to beat in the well A. It's a tough

165
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: team to beat. B It's a tough team to beat

166
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 2: in the penalty battle. See, it's a very tough team

167
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 2: to beat in the turnover battle. This team is plus

168
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 2: six in the turnover differential. They are number one in

169
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 2: the NFL for forced fumbles. They are number one in

170
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 2: the NFL with strip sacks, and they only have five

171
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 2: gives this year. They've only given the ball away five

172
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 2: times through seven games. That's a fifth best in the NFL.

173
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 2: So win one of those categories and let's just look organized.

174
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah for me.

175
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 7: You know, we talked about turning the page earlier this week,

176
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 7: turning the page on these pre snap penalties and just

177
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 7: clamping around and thankfully again due to the health of

178
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 7: the offensive line, hopefully banking that into the weekend, the

179
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 7: idea that you're going to have four out of your

180
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 7: preferred five save for the center of course, pre snab penalties,

181
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 7: weird holds, ineligible men down field. I mean, if you

182
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 7: want JJ to show improvement this weekend, a long Jordan

183
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 7: Mason run that's taken back by a holding penalty and

184
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 7: suddenly you're first and twenty, you're setting your QB up

185
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 7: for a lack of success. You're setting yourself up for

186
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 7: a punt, and you're setting yourself up to lose a

187
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 7: track meet against a team that doesn't.

188
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 3: Make these mistakes.

189
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 7: And from a defensive standpoint, you know, just the tackling

190
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 7: needs to improve. I mean, the organization of the team

191
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 7: maybe in some ways leads to basic or fundamental exec

192
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 7: cution of the team on Sunday. All those things off

193
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 7: a Thursday into potentially a haunted house at Ford Field

194
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 7: on Sunday.

195
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 2: All that needs to be better and priority number three,

196
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 2: I mean, this really could have gone about nine deep,

197
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 2: but for the purpose of time. Priority number three yours truly,

198
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 2: and several others we'll be looking for. Is let's start

199
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 2: establishing identities, all right? The Minnesota twenty twenty five Minnesota

200
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: Viking sadly lack identity. And it was very easy to

201
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 2: find the identity of this team last year. I mean,

202
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 2: you could start with Van Ginkle and Grenard and what

203
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: they would pose from a threat standpoint, off the edge

204
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 2: against adversarial offenses. Now, the expectation absolutely is that Andrew

205
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 2: Van Ginkle will play this weekend opposite Jonathan Grenard, who

206
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 2: I believe will play despite some injury report terrorism. So

207
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 2: let's start establishing identities. Maybe with forty three and fifty

208
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 2: eight with the arguably as good an edge duo last

209
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 2: year as any duo in the National Football League.

210
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 3: That was a sweet identity, Alec.

211
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 2: The identity of the three to four Vikings is it

212
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,479
Speaker 2: null and void at this minute? And from a scribe standpoint,

213
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 2: a covering standpoint, what are some things that you would

214
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: think would be cool to say?

215
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 3: No, you're right like that is?

216
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 8: I mean, I remember in London, in the postgame press

217
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 8: conference after the win against Cleveland entering the bye week,

218
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 8: one of the things that Kevin O'Connell talked about was like,

219
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 8: we have to use this bye week to identify what

220
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 8: our identities are. And it didn't I mean coming out

221
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 8: of that obviously losing two games. It doesn't feel like

222
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 8: they've settled on any specific areas. I thought entering the season,

223
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 8: and I said this many times with both you guys

224
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 8: that the defensive line and the run game we're going

225
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 8: to be the scaffolding of this team as they developed

226
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 8: JJ into this season, and it really doesn't feel like

227
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 8: the defensive line or the run game have.

228
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 3: Been strengths at all. And I guess my question at this.

229
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 8: Point is can you, now nine weeks into the season,

230
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 8: get to a place where those things can be the idea?

231
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 3: I know, but that's I mean the run game.

232
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 8: For me, Like obviously game script plays a part in

233
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 8: how many times you're running the ball and the effectiveness,

234
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 8: but just establishing that to be able to then run

235
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 8: play action with JJ, which makes it easier for the

236
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 8: quarterback feels huge.

237
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 3: Sunday and moving forward.

238
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, this play action you're about to see from the

239
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 2: Detroit Lions, in case you forgot about it, it's high,

240
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 2: high end. The quarterback barely gets sacked. He it's about

241
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: seventy five percent of his passes, second best in the

242
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 2: NFL behind Drake May And it is a lot of

243
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 2: short stuff. They don't go over the top a lot.

244
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 2: They try to beat you from ten to about twenty

245
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 2: or twenty five and watch those guys run.

246
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 3: So that's all coming up this weekend now.

Speaker 2: in the history of Minnesota Vikings football. He is one

284
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 2: of the great tacklers in the history of Minnesota Vikings

285
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 2: football ladies and gentlemen, Can I get a witness and

286

291
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 2: you've you don't come to Monticello, which is understandable. You're

292
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 2: in Lexington, uh with with with your daughter.

293
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 3: What was the first? First? What was happening there? The first?

296
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 3: of that one. In no doubt.

297
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 2: You're check to chef two, so that matters, yes, But nevertheless,

298
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 2: when you're not at the the team loses, all right.

299
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 3: So the team's three and four. It's great to have

300
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 3: you back here. Chad Greenway and.

301
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 2: The Minnesota Vikings are big underdogs into this game this weekend.

302
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 2: They're nine point underdogs. And you were never an underdog

303
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 2: to the Detroit Lions. And it actually took me about

304
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 2: forty minutes to figure this thing out. You were never

305
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 2: an underdog in a game against the Detroit Lions.

306
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 3: That's incredible. And the Lion.

307
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 2: The Lions are quite good, as we know, but we

308
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 2: do have favorite Vikings Lions or Detroit Lions moments from

309
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 2: over the years. You know, I'd like to begin with

310
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 2: the two thousand and eight season when they went winless,

311
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 2: where the Lions played sixteen and lost them all. Yep,

312
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 2: there was now The Vikings won the division that year,

313
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 2: and they got a wild card game at home and

314
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 2: lost to Philadelphia. Bad division that year. But nevertheless, the

315
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 2: Lions went ohen sixteen in two thousand and eight and

316
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 2: they had a couple of meat You guys had a

317
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 2: couple of meat grinders against them. I mean, try to

318
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 2: put him at one in fifteen in one of these

319
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 2: twelve to ten games, it was aggressive. Hanson kept trying

320
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 2: to dagger you late at Ford Field. And how about this,

321
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 2: Dante Culpepper had a seventy yard touchdown pass to Calvin

322
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 2: Johnson in the Ford Field game in two.

323
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 3: Thousand and eight.

324
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 2: So I when I was looking at all of this

325
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 2: stuff up, I mean, honestly, I will give you a

326
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 2: one hundred dollars bill right now, and if you can't

327
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 2: name it, there are five of them.

328
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 3: You'll see. You have to give me twent five bills.

329
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 3: You have to give me a twenty Okay.

330
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 2: Five quarterbacks played for the Detroit Lions that season in

331
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight. No chance, no bet, no chame.

332
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 2: You don't want the five to one, no bet? All right, Well,

333
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 2: at Metrodome when you beat him twelve ten, that was

334
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: the game. Jared Allen Chase Dan Orlofsky out of the

335
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 2: end zone. So you got Orlovsky, You have Dante Culpepper.

336
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 2: Any of the constituents here want to throw out any names?

337
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 3: Jean Hill, Joey Harrington.

338
00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 7: Was there a kitten in the mix?

339
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 3: John Hittingum makes number three? Okay? Now the other two

340
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 3: really have the same first name. Oh Man Drew Stanton,

341
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 3: oh wow from the crowd.

342
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 2: And Drew he Hens Drew Henson Henson Wow. Yeah, they

343
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 2: had five quarterbacks that year. We we liked that version

344
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 2: of the Detroit Lions a little more than the current one. Yes,

345
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 2: that was fun, the one that found a way to

346
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 2: go Owen sixteen fans with bags over their heads. Ye,

347
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen. It's nearly two decades removed from that.

348
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 2: But how about a round of applause for the Owen

349
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 2: sixteen Detroit Lion two thousand and eight. Thank you, thank

350
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 2: you very much.

351
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 6: I remember in the draft year six lines went nine

352
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 6: took Ernie Simms, linebacker Florida State University. Yeah, at the

353
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 6: time was like god, I would love to be number nine,

354
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 6: and then a couple years later it was like may

355
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 6: of them, I'm happy, I'm just picked up and cheat.

356
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

357
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 2: Well, the next year, after Owen sixteen, they had the

358
00:20:58,359 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 2: first overall pick in the draft.

359
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 3: Take would have been Staff, the Super Bowl winning quarterback

360
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 3: Stord choice.

361
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 2: So that's then, this is now, and you know that

362
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 2: five quarterback trick is probably not preferred. The Vikings have

363
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 2: already gone through three. But like brosemers come in and

364
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 2: mop up type time. So uh, let's begin here with

365
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 2: the game changer, Jamiir Gibbs. And uh, Jamiir Gibbs. When

366
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 2: he gets out in space, I mean he's a monster.

367
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 2: He's an absolute preacher. When Gibbs and Montgomery both score

368
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 2: in the same game, which happens, it's a thing. As

369
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,719
Speaker 2: the kids would say, the Lions are fourteen to zero,

370
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 2: so they're going to try to get that little thing going.

371
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 2: They got a nice little running game. What do you

372
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 2: think of that whole thing? And good morning, Yeah, good morning.

373
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 6: I think when you look about Jamiir Gibbs games specifically,

374
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 6: I can think back to my career and a couple

375
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 6: of guys that absolutely gave you terror when you went

376
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 6: to bed at night before the game. You know, the

377
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 6: Reggie Bushes, the darren Sprolls, the guy out of the backfield.

378
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 3: It was just going to give you an absolute problem.

379
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 6: And the oldest adage from the linebacker coach was if

380
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 6: you were as fast as them, you'd be playing running back.

381
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 6: So you better take a good angle, you better, you

382
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 6: better cut off his routes. You better make sure you

383
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 6: know where your help is and get to them as

384
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 6: fast as you can and cover them up. I think

385
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 6: this game this weekend, especially with JJ coming back, the

386
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 6: state of our offensive line, our ability to stop the

387
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 6: run is gonna is gonna win or lose the football game.

388
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 6: In my opinion, our ability to play in the line

389
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 6: of scrimmage with these guys. This thing has been flipped

390
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 6: on his head in the last five years where all

391
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 6: of a sudden, the Detroit Lions are the team in

392
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 6: the NFL. In the trenches, they're more physical, They're gonna

393
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 6: beat you up. It's a mentality thing. It's a scheme thing,

394
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 6: it's a personnel thing.

395
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 2: Trench is not just no line but liked McNeil and

396
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 2: DJ Reider and Hutchinson is just grimy, and they're grimy

397
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 2: and they're tough.

398
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 6: I think if you could define this this Detroit team

399
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 6: in one word, it's grit. You know, they're just kind

400
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 6: of that team.

401
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 3: And I think.

402
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 6: It's been complete flip when Campbell came in and they've

403
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 6: bought in. It matches the personality of the city. And

404
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 6: we now have to go in and teams have to

405
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 6: go in Detroit and match their level of intensity in

406
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 6: that spot. And I think that's gonna be the biggest

407
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 6: risk and biggest issue we have.

408
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 7: What are you identifying through a practice week in terms

409
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 7: of how to attack that Gibbs in Montgomery duo, because

410
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 7: it feels like a large part of the run game,

411
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 7: they want to get Gibbs to the outside. So now

412
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 7: I'm looking for a great tackling game, whether it's slock

413
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 7: corners or maybe it's Wilson or Cashman that can find

414
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 7: their way to the boundary and make a tackle. But

415
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 7: on that seventy eight yard or he had the other week,

416
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 7: they absolutely washed out the second level with the O

417
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 7: line linebackers nowhere to be found right up the middle

418
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 7: seventy eight to the outside.

419
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 3: He out runs everybody.

420
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 7: How are what are you trying to identify over the

421
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 7: course of a week that says here's one thing that

422
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 7: they're going to try to do us, and I know

423
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 7: we can beat that if we pay attention.

424
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you have to self scout first of

425
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 6: all and understand where are we having our issues?

426
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 3: And to me, it's always about simplify.

427
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 6: If you can simplify your scheme and take it back

428
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 6: to fundamentals where it's just gap control. We have to

429
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 6: identify how we take on blocks. Now, you're going to

430
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 6: lose one on one matchups within a play, and that's

431
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 6: sometimes how the game gets busted. The run gets busted,

432
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 6: you lose. But you try to simplify your scheme and

433
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 6: get back to what you do well in the run game.

434
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 6: Think that's that's what you have to do. Here is

435
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 6: you may have to simplify your package entirely. In the

436
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 6: past game and coverage just a simple simple the communication,

437
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 6: less communication more in gap control, make sure you get

438
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 6: to your gap, don't try to cross space, and make

439
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 6: a play, simplify the game, and what makes football so

440
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 6: great to me is the biggest The best part about

441
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 6: football is all eleven have to do their job.

442
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 3: And if all eleven are in.

443
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 6: Their gap doing what they're supposed to do, playing with

444
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 6: the right kind of leverage, now it's that guy's job

445
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 6: to make the play.

446
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 3: And at that point it becomes a tackling game.

447
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 6: So to me, the biggest caveat here is when you

448
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 6: get guys out in space like Jimior Gibbs, who is

449
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 6: an absolute game changer, that's going to be completely down

450
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 6: to tackling in one on one situations. And how how

451
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 6: much are we run to the backside on a on

452
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 6: a play that we think somebody's going to make the play?

453
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 3: We call it loafing.

454
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 6: If you loaf on the backside of a play, loaf tracker,

455
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 6: you never want to get digged for that thing. How

456
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 6: many how many hats to the ball are we having

457
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 6: on every snap?

458
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 8: I wonder, just as someone whose whole job for a

459
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 8: long time was to stop the run? Like, how hard

460
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 8: has it been for you to watch this defense in recently?

461
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 8: Obviously gets Philly?

462
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 2: They were better stopping the runn't blitz or cover that

463
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 2: what you're saying is.

464
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 3: That what you're saying, please don't put me in that spot.

465
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

466
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,959
Speaker 6: I think Tampa too. They don't ever rush the outside

467
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 6: of that unbelievable. The kids, I mean, just just kids

468
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 6: these days.

469
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: I think.

470
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 6: I think when you look at the most frustrating part

471
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 6: from a defensive player is when you physically can't beat

472
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 6: somebody because you're getting to dominate the line of scrimmage

473
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 6: and there's not a whole lot of things you can do.

474
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 3: I've been a part of those teams to San Francisco game.

475
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 6: I always mentioned because we just got overwhelmed in that

476
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 6: game with their physicality.

477
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 3: And that's the thing that you risk here.

478
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 6: If we don't go with the right mentality and edge

479
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 6: to us defensively, it's going to happen.

480
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 3: We got to change your mindset.

481
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 6: And I think on the flip side, when you're playing

482
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 6: with the Williams Wall and our run game was the

483
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 6: defensive un game was the most dominant the league for

484
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 6: several years because our mentality was you won't you might get,

485
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 6: you might get someone in the past game, We're gonna

486
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 6: paint our ears back and try to get quarterback, but

487
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 6: you will not beat us running the football right, and

488
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 6: when you control that part of the game, you now

489
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 6: dictate to that quarterback you better beat us.

490
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 3: And all by the way, we have Jared Allen, Russian

491
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 3: and these other guys.

492
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 6: So that to me is but it's more of a

493
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 6: mindset and the defensive one game to me as a team,

494
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 6: and I think have we gotten away from that?

495
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 3: Is it personnel? I think is a combination of things. Yeah,

496
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 3: I'm curious.

497
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 7: About that because how quickly do you change things the

498
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 7: way we're talking about this, the way that you know

499
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 7: Alex laying it out, establishing the run and stopping the

500
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 7: run two absolute a topics for development of JJ, but

501
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 7: also just being competitive in games. You mentioned the personnel

502
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 7: aspect of it. There are parts of this where it's like,

503
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 7: I don't know if that's going to change. I mean,

504
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 7: we all wake up Friday morning and you are with

505
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 7: me in the feast and we're like Kamani Vadal or

506
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 7: do that as a player, you walk into the locker room,

507
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 7: you're in the film room the next day after a

508
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 7: tough loss, and you're like Kamani Vadal, that's a thing

509
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 7: that really happened. I'm just worried in terms of, you know,

510
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 7: the way you're building it out conceptually, totally agree in

511
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 7: your experience. Will we'll stamp that, But how quickly you

512
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 7: can change them seems like a problem. And there does

513
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 7: feel like from year to year there's something missing specifically

514
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 7: on the interior that is allowing whether it's Bijon.

515
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 3: Who has a right to change games?

516
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 7: You fantastic gibbs this weekend, Well, we'll get to see

517
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 7: how we handle it. But there's something missing there, man,

518
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 7: that just wasn't here a year ago.

519
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 6: Well, the question you asked last week was who are we?

520
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 6: What's our identity? How do we win or lose football games?

521
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 6: When you're this far into a season. That's who we are.

522
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 6: So we have to flip it and change it. Because

523
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 6: there's enough season left to clearly go win this division

524
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 6: and go make a huge impact and make it runs.

525
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 6: Well what division? Well, we have so many divisional games left.

526
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 6: You can't tell me there's not an opportunity to go

527
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 6: into Detroit and flip your season. This would completely change

528
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 6: the mindset of our fan base, our season, our personnel

529
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 6: or players or coaches. If you can go in there

530
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 6: with the mindset and go do it. The best thing

531
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 6: is that we're an underdog. Nobody's giving us a shot.

532
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 6: Now you have to rally around that in the idea

533
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 6: is like this is who we have be the chip

534
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 6: on the shoulder, Like we are a really good football team.

535
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 3: We're going to go prove it.

536
00:27:58,440 --> 00:27:59,959
Speaker 6: We've got all these things that have happened to come

537
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 6: a way. You can't control, injury being the biggest one.

538
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,239
Speaker 6: But you have to make sure it's a mindset. Thing

539
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 6: is like I don't care if they beat us, but

540
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 6: they're not gonna beat us this way. We we've done

541
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 6: a lot of these together for a lot of years. Yeah,

542
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 6: And there aren't many times because football players and coaches

543
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 6: are forever looking for an edge.

544
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 2: Did you see what so and so said here? Did

545
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 2: you see what so and so wrote there? Did you

546
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 2: see did you hear what so and so said there?

547
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 2: And quite frequently it's trite. Quite quite frequently they're they're

548
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 2: trying too hard to muster and or concoct an edge.

549
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 3: That's not the case. This game doesn't mean as nine

550
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:41,719
Speaker 3: point underdogs.

551
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 2: I'm not big like national sports, TV, radio, radio guide,

552
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 2: but just following the vibe from afar locally or nationally,

553
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 2: there there aren't many who are giving the Vikings even

554
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 2: a puncher's chance in a game like this against a

555
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 2: Lions team off of buy they're going to get corner

556
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 2: Terrrian Arnold back what We're happy for him, he see,

557
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 2: has a lot to learn and and just who they

558
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 2: are at five and two and and just losing five

559
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 2: in a row to them, and O'Connell's never won at

560
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 2: Ford Field. I mean, there are just some that doesn't

561
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 2: even get into what the two hundred chains the Vikings

562
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 2: just gave up on the on the running game on

563
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 2: the road. I mean, it's just the list is voluminous

564
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 2: when it comes to Yeah, I like, say, I'm on

565
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 2: this the ESPN show with Cam Newton in his topic

566
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 2: first take, Yeah, and my man's got his top hat.

567
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 2: See for Cam Newton, it's Halloween every day. I would

568
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 2: love to leave you up there with those guys.

569
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 3: It's Halloween every day with those top hats.

570
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 2: But anyway, so if I'm on that show and I'm like, hey,

571
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 2: this is with all due respect, but A B, C, D, E,

572
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 2: F and G and Detroit basically can't lose this game. Uh,

573
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 2: there is a lot of that bouncing around I would imagine,

574
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 2: so this is the use it as motivation and it's

575
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 2: a legitimate salvo.

576
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you're talking about a lot of external communication.

577
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 6: I want to I want to know what the conversation

578
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 6: is in that locker room and in that defensive meeting room,

579
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 6: because this is a week where you get called to

580
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 6: the carpet by your coach, into the game after the

581
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 6: game last week, into the game this week. You're being

582
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 6: challenged from a manhood standpoint, a quality of play standpoint,

583
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 6: how bad do you want?

584
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 3: A standpoint like are you just sleeping on your checks?

585
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 3: Cash standpoint, like the.

586
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 6: Idea of like you have to be challenged, the idea

587
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 6: of just your ability to play football from within, from

588
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 6: the people you care about, their opinion the most, because

589
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 6: you can have an opinion of my game, and you know,

590
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 6: somebody write in the paper can have an opinion, or

591
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 6: the national pundits can have an opinion. But if my

592
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 6: coach or my peer has an opinion and they challenge

593
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 6: me on that, that's to me, what makes the game

594
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 6: so great is when the accountability and the pressure is

595
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 6: coming from within to say we have to clean this up,

596
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 6: because now let's be honest.

597
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 3: Jobs are one thousand percent at stake.

598
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 6: If you can't flip this and turn this around, it's

599
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 6: going to be on the coaching staff and the personnel.

600
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 6: The fact that if we don't get back or personnel,

601
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 6: we can't this can't be a yearly thing week all

602
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 6: of a sudden, can't stop the run.

603
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 3: It's interesting.

604
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,479
Speaker 8: I had a long conversation yesterday in the locker room

605
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 8: with Jonathan Gernard, and I kind of view him internally

606
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 8: as one of I mean, the clear vocal, you know voice.

607
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 3: It's natural and authentic. Get him.

608
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, And he was very I mean similar to the

609
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 8: conversation you just had, like he was very upfront of

610
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 8: I mean, nobody like this has not been enjoyable. We

611
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 8: expect so much more, I mean it, and I guess

612
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 8: like it does feel like and I'm glad you you asked.

613
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,479
Speaker 3: Chad like and brought that up the way you did.

614
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 3: It does feel like right.

615
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 8: Now, like the motivation and the back against the wall

616
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 8: feeling is at the highest that I can probably remember.

617
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 3: And it's right and right, it's not concocted.

618
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 8: And they feel that like you could feel in my

619
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 8: conversation with Grenard yesterday like that they they feel like

620
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 8: they have to prove it to themselves internally and that

621
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 8: they you know, they're not trying to prove it to

622
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 8: the world. They're just trying to prove what they feel

623
00:31:58,920 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 8: like they are and.

624
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 3: They have not shown.

625
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think at the end of the day when

626
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 6: he boiled. But what football, What makes football so great

627
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 6: is it's an emotional game. And when you go on

628
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 6: the road and lose and get your butt kicked and

629
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 6: you lack of motion as a football team, like, that's

630
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 6: a problem. Now this is a response, and I'm waiting

631
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 6: to see the response, and I think we're going to

632
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 6: learn a lot about our football team this week, I agree,

633
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 6: And how much passion they have the coaching staff.

634
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 3: I think it's I think it's important week for us

635
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 3: in several levels.

636
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 7: It's a very different circumstances. Two thousand and nine, you

637
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 7: go to the NFC title game, and I know twenty

638
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 7: ten had a bunch of weird oddities, including some off

639
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 7: field related bits.

640
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 3: What do you mean the dome collapsed but you know

641
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 3: certain scourger. Yeah, all kinds of funny mans. But Snapchat

642
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 3: not being invented, or you win the Super Bowl.

643
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 7: The reason that comes to mind For me, though, is

644
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 7: the idea that two thousand and nine, albeit it ends tragically,

645
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 7: the build up into twenty ten, we were so close.

646
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 7: Now we're going to run through that door in twenty ten, and.

647
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 3: Then it started scale. It was weird.

648
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 7: There were just bad things had We had injuries, We

649
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 7: had all sorts of things ultimately bred excuse me, Brett

650
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 7: hitting his head via Corey Wooton on the college stadium

651
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 7: field and his career is over. Is there any how

652
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 7: do you what was it like at that time where

653
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 7: you felt like you were in quicksand you guys probably

654
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 7: had moments like this team is experiencing in the locker

655
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 7: room now.

656
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 3: It just never you were never able to get out

657
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 3: of it and move forward. For yeah, it's the two

658
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 3: steps forward to three steps back. Bit.

659
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 6: I mean, you can go and you can do all

660
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 6: the right things and say the right things, and go

661
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 6: to practice and practice the right things and be on

662
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 6: your stuff, and things simply may not go your way.

663
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 3: Welcome to the NFL.

664
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 6: Things happened, the dome collapses, coach get fired, Randy Moss.

665
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 3: Bit, I mean it's a whole thirty for thirty on

666
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 3: the twenties ten season.

667
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 6: So the reality is is and things can slide quick right,

668
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 6: oh nine Championship game, twenty ten, coaches fired, we move

669
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 6: on path, The organization completely flips and changes.

670
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 3: It happens fast.

671
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 6: I think the most important thing is at that point

672
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 6: we had a really veteran team and it was going

673
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 6: to start to flip.

674
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 3: In this case right now.

675
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 6: That you can make an argument is like this team

676
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 6: is ready to win now, right, so we want Yeah,

677
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 6: it's an older roster. So dare you say, like these

678
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 6: next two years are really important or do you slide

679
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 6: the other direction like that happened in twenty ten, which

680
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 6: takes you to twenty eleven and twelve and thirteen, which

681
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 6: were just a mass other than the Agrian year. In

682
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 6: twenty twelve we has hand evolved him seven hundred times

683
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 6: and it worked out great. But the reality is this

684
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 6: is a slippery slope. And if you go laying negga

685
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 6: Detroit this season is over, you mean get blown out, yep.

686
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 6: And and no only that, but just you can lose

687
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 6: in a tough way. But you watch as a fan,

688
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 6: be like they gave everything.

689
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 3: They got today. Yeah, yeah, and I think it's a fight.

690
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 3: I think it's a fan. You always appreciate that. Right.

691
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 3: If I'm watching now as a fan, I'm like, you

692
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 3: can tell when the team quits, Like.

693
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 8: The Chargers game, you start to see the flicker of yeah,

694
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 8: like is the like go going out?

695
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, Look at the Dolphins last night. Yeah, that is

696
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 3: a team where it is freaking it's it's over a

697
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 3: big way. Yeah, And I think you can feel that

698
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 3: from a fan base. You can feel that from the

699
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 3: locker room, from the coaches.

700
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 6: All of a sudden, the owner spends a couple more

701
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 6: days in the office, you know, next week, and everybody

702
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 6: feels a little bit of pressure, and all of a sudden,

703
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 6: my job's at risk, and all of a sudden that

704
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 6: thing slides quick. I think this is a man demand

705
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 6: conversation of it's time to buck up and be a

706
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,240
Speaker 6: pro and we got to go put our best foot forward.

707
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 8: Can you feel that slide in the moment or does

708
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 8: it just happen and then you're looking back on it.

709
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 6: You I always took it like this is I have

710
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 6: to make sure I take care of my stuff, sure,

711
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 6: because at the end of the not it's not a

712
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 6: selfish thing.

713
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 3: It's more of a if I take care of my

714
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 3: p's and q's and I'm on my stuff.

715
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 6: It allows me to be the best version of myself,

716
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 6: which in turn, you hope rubs off on the other guys.

717
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 6: And I think that's you know, that's how you probably

718
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 6: stay in the locker room for eleven years. Yeah, but

719
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 6: not everybody has that mentality because all of a sudden

720
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 6: they're starting to think about a vacation and I'm making

721
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 6: this much money next year anyways, and they're paying me regardless.

722
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 3: Like natural human in some way thoughts.

723
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, But I think when you have a tighter group,

724
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 6: and you have a good locker room, and you have

725
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 6: a good staff, which I believe we have all those things.

726
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 3: I don't think that happens as this football team.

727
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 7: One thing into Sunday's game for this team win or lose.

728
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 7: We were talking about priorities at the opening the show,

729
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 7: and you watch JJ those first two games and now

730
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,479
Speaker 7: McCarthy's going to get another chance. Take two, twenty twenty

731
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:21,720
Speaker 7: five edition with McCarthy.

732
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 3: Is there one.

733
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 7: Particular thing that you took out of those first two

734
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 7: games where it's like, if I could see this on

735
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 7: Sunday at Ford Field, part of that turning a corner

736
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,280
Speaker 7: one way or another, hopefully it's in the winner circle.

737
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 7: But either way, one thing you see from JJ on Sunday,

738
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:36,479
Speaker 7: that's like, all.

739
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 3: Right, I think there's a light on upstairs there. I

740
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 3: want to see the ball out of his hand. Quicker,

741
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 3: we know we have our issues.

742
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 6: Get the ball of his hand and put it in

743
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 6: the playmaker's hands and let them make place. I think

744
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 6: that's number one. His accuracy within those throws is going

745
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 6: to be really important. And this is gonna be really

746
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 6: dumb to say, because this is a kid coming off

747
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 6: an injury and had missed.

748
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 3: The whole year. I want to see them be creative

749
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,479
Speaker 3: with the play calling of what he can.

750
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 6: Do, which is run the football, which is give people

751
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 6: rpo looks that we've been getting hit on for years

752
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 6: that we can now do. Freeze that outside linebacker and

753
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,399
Speaker 6: give Jaj the ball the chance to slide and gain

754
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 6: five on first down. Like to me, I know that's

755
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 6: the dumb thing to say to a kid coming off injury,

756
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 6: but you either go play to win the game or

757
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 6: you go play it will not lose. And to me,

758
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 6: we go open the play a calling. We allow him

759
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 6: to do what he does. Because the kids athletic and

760
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 6: all of a sudden you run for five, you might

761
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 6: get a little hit.

762
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 3: Now you're in the game, you're in the flow. You

763
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 3: go make a play.

764
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 2: Chad Greenway, former linebacker for the Minnesota Vikings. Courtesy of

765
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 2: Great Duck Vodka and Great Duck Spirits. Chad was part of.

766
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 2: Chad was part of something very strange in a game

767
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 2: against the Detroit Lions back in the day. We will

768
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 2: share that and to continue to analyze this contest around

769
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:51,200

Speaker 3: Eighteen eighteen. I was promised number eight of my recruiting visit.

782
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 6: I was a no star recruit, so when I got there,

783
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 6: eight turned into eighteen road j somehow, Yeah.

784
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 3: Pretty good number.

785
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 2: Somebody somebody who has game worn eighteen's from uh from

786
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 2: Iowa City and actually so they were selling those things.

787
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 3: Unbelievable. Yeah, you didn't get any money for it?

788
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, no.

789
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 2: I think he and his family took a trip to

790
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 2: Korea or Taiwan and they had a bunch of them

791
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 2: there and he came back with once and it's just

792
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:15,399
Speaker 2: it's a little small, but that's okay. And secondly, maybe

793
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 2: some game more than fifty twos from the Purple and

794
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 2: Gold days. Somebody I know of whom you're very fond

795
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,280
Speaker 2: Johnny the Mouse Michelson, captain of the eighty three Wisetta

796
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,320
Speaker 2: club hockey team, the most formidable club hockey team in

797
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 2: the history of club hockey. In fact, he wore the

798
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 2: seat for this club hockey team. You know him, right, Yes, well,

799
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 2: he reminds me that in I'm not sure the year,

800
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 2: but do you remember when you intercepted a pass against

801
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 2: the Lions in the second quarter and you returned it

802
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 2: to the lions eighteen yard line? All right, everybody go crazy?

803
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 2: Stuff like that? Oh nine the Vikings offense. Then you

804
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 2: took over in the red zone. You had a chance

805
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:58,720
Speaker 2: to score, but committed multiple penalties and had a sack

806
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 2: and went back to the forty yard line and we

807
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 2: punted and you find it.

808
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was my last That was my last pick

809
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 3: of my career. Are you kidding?

810
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: You know?

811
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 3: It was the US Bank my last year. You picked

812
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 3: them off. Get down to the red zone, sky yu, ma,

813
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 3: here we go hit it. I hit to hit him

814
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 3: with one of these.

815
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 6: It didn't work. Shocking at thirty four years old. Whoever

816
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 6: it was, got shepherded out of bounce. We go backwards

817
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 6: thirty yards, pumped the ball, probably probably kicked it in

818
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 6: the end zone.

819
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 3: Touched back yeah, then probably rip brief.

820
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 6: I think I took it to the nineteen and they

821
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 6: got the ball in the twenty when it was done,

822
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 6: so we actually lost the yard.

823
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was good.

824
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's for some mouse brings that up occasionally and

825
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 2: and for some reason I can't remember that, but it's

826
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 2: such an astounding moment.

827
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:40,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, why didn't you get to the end zone

828
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 3: at that stage of your career? You did? You did before? Four?

829
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 3: Go to a four six? I had a back, I

830
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 3: had a hammy, I had four kids.

831
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, you used all that sweet on that Chargers

832
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 7: pick six that you at the College Stadium. Didn't cost

833
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 7: accidentally like a security guard that was.

834
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 2: Gerald Hodges, Harold Dodgers, h erld Hoigh. Yeah, and props

835
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 2: and and there's video of this, by the way, you

836
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 2: might have to look hard for it. Props to the

837
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 2: to the yellow jacket security person at what was then

838
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 2: TCF Bank Stadium, because there was a lot going on

839
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 2: in that play. Philip rivers right to Greenway. He gets

840
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 2: to the house from like eighty crowd sideline. Crowd's going yeah,

841
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 2: the sideline was unbelievable. Crowd's going nuts. The security person

842
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 2: back right to the end zone, making sure nobody runs

843
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 2: on the field, never turned around to look at the play. Focus,

844
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 2: I mean totally focused, I feely even when Gerald Hodge

845
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 2: is a former linebacker trying to celebrate jumps, doesn't see

846
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:40,479
Speaker 2: said security person buries the person into the wall.

847
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 3: Even a fan.

848
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 6: Last night, I brought this up, and sad man, is

849
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 6: that the one where it took you like thirty minutes

850
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 6: to get the end zone? I was like, well, twenty

851
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 6: seven minutes, But I said, what you forget about was

852
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 6: like what seemed like a twenty play drive to get there.

853
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 6: So I'm already gassed. I catch this thing on the nine,

854
00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 6: I'm thinking, really, I angle right sudden, There's no way

855
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 6: I can't get tackled.

856
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 3: If I fall. Now it's me tripping. I have to

857
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 3: go the whole way. Score it. It was great.

858
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 7: You think about just kind of taking a breath and

859
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 7: just stepping out, I mean.

860
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 6: Did I And then when I got one of my

861
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 6: favorite moments of my careers, I got a he is

862
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,839
Speaker 6: a loose call, that's right, and it was the best.

863
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 6: It was way better than any of Adrians Adrian's runs. Ever,

864
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 6: let's be honest, and I got that, which is yeah,

865
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 6: which I love. I have that audio all right on

866
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 6: my phone.

867
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 8: The greenway at the feast is you just bring up

868
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 8: memories and him getting roast.

869
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 3: But these are good ones though, Yeah, right, they are good.

870
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 3: That's what happens when the squad's three and four.

871
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 6: Now, if if nord so Nordo did't produce a show

872
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,240
Speaker 6: obviously because actually it's absolutely negative clump, fourth and twenty

873
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 6: bills action like all the stuff that this that you

874
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 6: just regurgitated every he.

875
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 2: Got terrorism out and Scott Chandler catches a stray.

876
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:47,240
Speaker 3: Out of nowhere.

877
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 7: Times bad times, final season. You got to pick against

878
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 7: the Lions. You may have also had Eric Swoop in

879
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:56,439
Speaker 7: the Colts game. Oh end in my career, I run.

880
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 7: I mean in my mind, not in anybody.

881
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:00,959
Speaker 3: It didn't actually because that could have played again.

882
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 7: That was Adrian's final game too.

883
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, average thirteen plays a game that season.

884
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 6: That was the best they still paid me. I was like, wait,

885
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 6: I thought I had to play every snap of the

886
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,320
Speaker 6: game to get paid. No, it's gonna pay thirteen. I

887
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 6: got a serious question for you. And this is actually

888
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 6: after talking to some people over the course. So since

889
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 6: the Chargers game, uh, this jumbo package bit jumbo packages

890
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 6: are becoming quite on vogue around the National Football League.

891
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 6: So you know, in our fishball, we see what we

892
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 6: see under our rock, and that generally is, oh, you're

893
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 6: in Dublin, you know, just trying to maybe have a pint,

894
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 6: pop around to uh some pubs and have a good

895
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 6: time and beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. Uh until you see

896
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 6: tackle Spencer Anderson joined six to seven, befeating tight end

897
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 6: Darnell Washington, and then Kenneth Gangwell. Kenneth Kangwell has the

898
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 6: best rushing game of his career. All right, So then

899
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 6: you move forward and the Judkins from Ohio State does

900
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 6: his thing between the tackles and wide, and then you

901
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 6: get to then you get to the Philly game and

902
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 6: they bring in extra offensive lineman Fred Johnson.

903
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,359
Speaker 2: All right, complete run, look down in distance, whole thing

904
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 2: deep shot. Aj Brown six, Ok, dope, got you play.

905
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,879
Speaker 2: Whole Thing's not beautiful, but it was beautiful. And then

906
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,359
Speaker 2: you get to the Chargers game. Scott Mattlock. This one

907
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 2: got me because forty four Scott Mattlock is. They seldomly

908
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 2: used fallback, all right. I mean if it's Nasee Harris

909
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 2: or if it's Omari in Hampton, the North Carolina rookie, they.

910
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 3: Didn't even use him that. They didn't use him that

911
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:38,399
Speaker 3: much with them.

912
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 2: Well, they they played him thirty eight plays the three

913
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 2: games up to the Vikings game. They played this beefeater

914
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 2: forty one plays in the Vikings game. Why because they

915
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 2: couldn't stop him. And I'm so glad when it comes

916
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 2: to run defense and the handling of these jumbo packages,

917
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 2: because here it comes again, Dan Skipper. I mean, the

918
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 2: Lions are og with the jumbo by the way, Skipper

919
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 2: was doing it before. You know, while my man Matt

920
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 2: Locke was trying to do something to Boise State with

921
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 2: Ashton Genty. So they're og with the jumbo. Here it comes.

922
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 2: They got a tie end named Ross Dwellie doesn't play

923
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 2: a ton right, He'll play a ton this weekend. Rock

924
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 2: Right's got a little blocking to him. I guess, so

925
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 2: does Laporta. Laporta is actually a nice all around player.

926
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 3: Here it comes again.

927
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 2: But what you said earlier with Nordo is so true man,

928
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 2: I tried to share it a little bit like late

929
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 2: last week. Coaches, I can't speak for players, but over

930
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 2: the years, Zimmer probably was ten of ten with this

931
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 2: Leslie Frazier.

932
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 3: It would get to him too. When you get run

933
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:40,800
Speaker 3: on and you can't stop it.

934
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 2: That bugs coaches more than anything I've seen, and that

935
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 2: includes turnovers and procedural penalties because it's basically, week after

936
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 2: week you're in the squared circle, everybody has boxing gloves on,

937
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 2: and you're getting knocked out every single week with roundhouses,

938
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 2: jabs and upper cut. So like, how does that slow

939
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,320
Speaker 2: this week? In this jumbo package bit? And in fairness,

940
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 2: Van Ginkol should be back in the equation. That's huge,

941
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 2: first of all. Second of all, when you talk about

942
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 2: the run game not being able to stop it. It's

943
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 2: like being the weakest guy at the armrestley match. Right,

944
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 2: You're gonna get called out by everybodycause everybody wants an

945
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 2: easy win all of a sudden. The only way to

946
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 2: get better is that is to go win some matches, right,

947
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 2: to go one on one with somebody and win. I think,

948
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 2: at the end of the day is it's a mindset.

949
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 2: And I think when a coach gets so offended by that,

950
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 2: especially you.

951
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 6: Think about zim Er Fraser defensive minded coaches when they've

952
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 6: at defense that's not physical enough to hope against the run,

953
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 6: it's an indictment on them as a coach. Now koc

954
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,479
Speaker 6: offensive coach, quarterback likes to throw the football. There's different

955
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 6: ways to win a football game. Team has built differently.

956
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 6: This now kind of falls into the Flores category. A

957
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 6: defensive coordinator and how personal is he taken it? Because

958
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 6: that's at the end of the day, Like Flora's has

959
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 6: been historically good in a lot of different places, done

960
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 6: really good here.

961
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 3: But what's he known for. Is he known for having

962
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 3: the just.

963
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 6: To sheer run stopping defense, physical up front. No, it's creativity,

964
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 6: it's blitz packages, it's being creative with his personnel. I

965
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 6: would never think of his game and his calling style

966
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 6: and his personnel style is we're gonna stop the run

967
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 6: to be physical and we're gonna beat up a line

968
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 6: of scrimmage and then we'll figure everything else out. No,

969
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 6: it's not that it's exotic looks. It's covered the back end.

970
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 6: We're gonna send pressure. So when you get creative and

971
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 6: all of a sudden that's not working, you can't fall

972
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 6: back to what you built in training camp because you

973
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 6: never built it. If you never built that base of

974
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 6: we're gonna beat you up first, you can't go find

975
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,320
Speaker 6: that week seven. You have to have that ingrained in

976
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 6: your DNA from the beginning. I think that's I'm not

977
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 6: saying it's a it's a problem, but it's becoming a

978
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 6: problem because Detroit built it how when we had the

979
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 6: Williams Williams Wall, we built it how Day one, We're

980
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 6: gonna install our run defense with our base fundamental packages,

981
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 6: and you will not beat us with that.

982
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be in my gap. I'm gonna spill the

983
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 3: ball to the DJ's and run on at the top

984
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 3: of me. Ben's gonna take care of the backside.

985
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 6: We're gonna have every guy and there's in there gap

986
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 6: except for Chart who's probably in the wrong spot for

987
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 6: him too. But the reality is is when you build

988
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 6: it that way, the first day of pads and training

989
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 6: camp is goal line and short yardage. We're setting the

990
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 6: tone with the front. You could fall back and get

991
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 6: exotic and get creative. But if you can never do that,

992
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 6: you can't go find that week seven because everybody's beat up,

993
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:19,720
Speaker 6: we're hurt. We can't go toe to toe in pads

994
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 6: week seven and learn something about each other.

995
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 3: You have to set up from the beginning.

996
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 2: If I'm you, i email Holly today, she'll probably get

997
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 2: you up to Saint Cloud for about fifty large.

998
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 3: I mean, you're firing bullets today. He's on fire.

999
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 7: I'm glad you mentioned Flores though, because this is an

1000
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 7: interesting matchup. I know Ben Johnson is gone, but Flora

1001
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 7: has so many good things, and I know the bottom's

1002
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 7: kind of falling out with the rush defense this year.

1003
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 7: But I would say the Lions have had Flores' number

1004
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 7: specifically over the last three seasons, maybe than any other team.

1005
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 3: And we're seeing no matter the personnel too, and that's.

1006
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,799
Speaker 7: The key we're inverting safety is a couple of years

1007
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 7: ago and it's Amonra uncovered.

1008
00:48:57,600 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 3: We're seeing absolute atrocious tackling.

1009
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,359
Speaker 7: I think Gibbs is about to be stopped for again

1010
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:03,800
Speaker 7: of seven suddenly it's a fifty.

1011
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 3: Six yard touchdown.

1012
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 7: No matter what Flores through at Ben Johnson, he solved

1013
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 7: it and Gibbs himself eight or nine tds in like

1014
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 7: the last two or three games. If somebody's offended in

1015
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 7: that house, it's gotta be Flores. We can focus on

1016
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:19,840
Speaker 7: Darnold in the red zone last year in the finale

1017
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 7: and all of those things Ben Johnson and now I

1018
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 7: hope Johnny Morton isn't the same, but I mean they've

1019
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,800
Speaker 7: had our number, and specifically Flores's number, maybe more so

1020
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 7: than anybody else in the league.

1021
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 2: And to amplify that, and I think Alex Lewis can

1022
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:36,879
Speaker 2: validate it from film watching. Outside of the money Cam

1023
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 2: bind him got with Indianapolis, I can argue the final

1024
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 2: two games against the Lions ran Cam buying him out

1025
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:46,800
Speaker 2: of town. Jamiir Gibbs ran him out of town because

1026
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 2: I mean with Paul due respect to Cam and we're

1027
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 2: quite fond of Cam, very nice man.

1028
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 3: So it's not the personals business here. I mean, we're talking.

1029
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 2: About three four, five awful angles against Gibbs or whomever,

1030
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,320
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden he's gone in free agency.

1031
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 3: You know, so, I think it's on a.

1032
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 6: Really good well to your point, why is it hard?

1033
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 6: First of all, this is you know, you have to

1034
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 6: look at how we're losing football games. Is this an

1035
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 6: indictment on Flores? I think in some cases it has

1036
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 6: to be. I'm sure he's taking it that way. I

1037
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 6: love Bryan Flores. I think it is a great football coach,

1038
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 6: one of the one of the best defensive coordinators in

1039
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 6: the game. But at this point, right now, with the

1040
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 6: personnel we have what he's operating with, do you have

1041
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:21,760
Speaker 6: to change your mindset and mentality towards how your calling plays.

1042
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 3: The second thing is why does Detroit? Why is it

1043
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 3: so hard for us to beat them?

1044
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 6: When you can run the football and then have one

1045
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:31,240
Speaker 6: of the best play action passing games in the league.

1046
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 6: It's complimentary football. I'm gonna hand it, get four on

1047
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:37,880
Speaker 6: first down, get six, get a first down, move the chains.

1048
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:39,799
Speaker 6: I'm going to play action pass. Now of a sudden,

1049
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:41,400
Speaker 6: you're sucked up because you can't stop the run.

1050
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 3: I'm gonna throw over the top. Yeah, I'm you know.

1051
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:45,839
Speaker 3: So it's complimentary football. They've built it the right way.

1052
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,240
Speaker 6: The play calling fits that, and if you can't stop

1053
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,240
Speaker 6: a they're gonna get be easy. All of a sudden,

1054
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 6: I'm not as worried about your running game because I

1055
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 6: got you. First of all, we're playing ahead. Can our

1056
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 6: offense stay on the field. Those are all things we

1057
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 6: talked about off air. That that matters the moment.

1058
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 3: The other thing Brian Flores talked about earlier this week.

1059
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 8: Was that, Brian, you know, this Lion's offense has been together,

1060
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:12,759
Speaker 8: Jared Goff, the offensive line, aman Ra Jamison, so they

1061
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 8: can adapt. And Brian Flaworer is like, they can go

1062
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 8: back to something they did against US two years ago

1063
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 8: and have recalled.

1064
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 3: To adapt end game.

1065
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:24,720
Speaker 8: And that's where this Vikings defense like, there are different pieces,

1066
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 8: so the continuity isn't the same to be able to

1067
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 8: adapt the way they have.

1068
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 3: Especially when you don't have a Van Ginkle. So I

1069
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 3: think that's also been.

1070
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 8: Part of why they've had so much success against the

1071
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 8: Vikings is they've been able to adjust an adapt in

1072
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 8: game because of the aptitude of their players and the continuity,

1073
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,320
Speaker 8: and that's played a role too, Like I imagine you

1074
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 8: had experience.

1075
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:44,879
Speaker 6: Well, you mentioned Dan Skipper and what's about to happen

1076
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 6: this week? Yi, I met Dan Skipper is about to

1077
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 6: have that is a mountain of him gigantic.

1078
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 3: I met him. I'm like, what is this? Okay? So,

1079
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 3: but the reality is this, Why are they doing that?

1080
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 6: Because at the end of the day, they know that

1081
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 6: they line up your limited package with those extra linemen

1082
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 6: are in there, you have a limited package. You have

1083
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 6: a couple of pass plays off of that, a trick them,

1084
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:07,279
Speaker 6: a goddam plays, a couple of man routes. But they're

1085
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:09,319
Speaker 6: doing it because they say we're gonna line up, You're

1086
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:12,279
Speaker 6: not going to stop us M and then tell you

1087
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 6: do that. Why would you go away from it. I'm

1088
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 6: gonna hand it to my running back who's really good.

1089
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 6: The chance of been fumbling is low. You can't stop us.

1090
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 6: We're gonna keep extending to change. Your defense is gonna

1091
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 6: stay on the field and get soft and ringing the

1092
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:25,800
Speaker 6: fourth quarter. So again, now go back to what I

1093
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 6: said about JJ running the football, RPOs, quick out of

1094
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 6: the hand, extend drives, keep your offense on the field,

1095
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 6: got and do a rhythm as a play caller. That

1096
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 6: helps your defense more than anything is because they're fresh

1097
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 6: and it keeps the Detroit offense on the sidelines.

1098
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 3: Can we do that for what? For what? Once? This

1099
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 3: season might be the first? Can we go control the
