Speaker 5: Oh my god, hold on to your buts.

8
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: What have we done?

9
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 6: Seriously? What have we done? The eleven fifteen? We have

10
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 6: invited the wolves into the henhouse. The darkness has been

11
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 6: welcomed with open ears, and the light has no response.

12
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 6: The Sultan and the columnist the eleven fifteen?

13
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: What have we done?

14
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 6: The border battle of a different variety, involving a football

15
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 6: team that didn't permit us a touchdown and another that

16
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 6: sent women and children into hiding with a single kick

17
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 6: return by Devin DuVernay.

18
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: What have we done?

19
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 6: We are scratching and clining for even a first down

20
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 6: as they gloat while working their ways to the promised

21
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 6: land of the postseason.

22
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 2: What have we done? What have we done? Why?

23
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 7: What?

24
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: It was permitted?

25
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 6: Because I know what I see when watching YouTube shorts.

26
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 6: People love to see others arguing and fighting and tearing

27
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 6: each other down. That's why the idea was crafted. The

28
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 6: Hope is nine to noon kfan and iHeartMedia Radio Audio

29
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 6: would greatly profit off the vitriol shared between two who

30
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 6: embraced the darkness. But now we're having regrets, and just

31
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 6: to sit back and listen to the smug sultan and

32
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 6: the chortling columnist rave about their packers and bears and

33
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 6: seventeen wins against six losses with a tie. You know

34
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 6: we're going to catch strays, you know. Along the way

35
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 6: we're going to catch strays.

36
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 2: And when we.

37
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 6: Catch strays here with nine to Noon, the strays of

38
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 6: braggadocious evil, our purple loving listeners feel the pain of

39
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 6: said strays. Nine to Noon has welcomed the darkness into

40
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 6: the Covenant and did so with open ears for the

41
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 6: prophet of our kings and rulers and principalities. And now

42
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 6: it's too late to turn it around. So we're sorry.

43
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 6: Please forgive us. It's the eleven fifteen, and if you

44
00:03:54,720 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 6: don't listen, we're not offended, all right. Tonight, the Minnesota

45
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 6: Timberwolves are at New Orleans again and the three win

46
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 6: Hornets will be without the game changers I On Williamson.

47
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 6: This will be our fourth consecutive win. The Wild get

00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 6: games and just was blasted by Nashville Tuesday nights six

51
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 6: to one. And of course the Minnesota Vikings are in

52
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 6: search of some light during these dark days of twenty

53

Speaker 6: exchange coming in now?

58
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 8: Well, mine is quarterback related and just for a moment,

59
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 8: excu is this on the fly? Awful butchering of a

60
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 8: song that I like? What have we done for JJ McCarthy?

61
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 8: I need him to be free?

62
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 2: Free ball burden.

63
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 6: One from the Bear fourteen McCarthy out of the shotgun,

64
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 6: milking a three point lead.

65
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 2: It is a run pass option.

66
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 3: McCarthy takes off to the right to the Tesh Stunner

67
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 3: step sick a five touchdown. Peace JJ McCarthy and he

68
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 3: runs for a Vikings touchdown and the Minnesota Vikings after

69
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 3: that fourteen yard touchdown gallup, sending fans home here at

70
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 3: Soldier field man.

71
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 8: Eleven games ago feels like eleven months ago. Remember how

72
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 8: we felt after week one. Here's the thing, Kevin O'Connell

73
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 8: talking yesterday at the media, you're actually gonna hear some

74
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,679
Speaker 8: audio bits during Vike Spites this hour. But the coach

75
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 8: was talking about decision making, protecting yourself, some things that

76
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 8: he's looking for. From JJ McCarthy on Sunday, I'm just

77
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 8: looking for the kid to take a breath, dim the

78
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 8: lights upstairs, and just freaking play. With five games to go,

79
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 8: win or lose any of these games. The absolute a

80
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 8: topic of the team is seeing what you have in

81
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 8: the quarterback. And while that is, of course, that's in

82
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 8: concert with seeing growth from many other players guys you

83
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 8: want to build momentum with in twenty twenty six.

84
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: But the quarterback is where it all starts.

85
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 8: And I can't have hyperventilating over footwork. I can't have

86
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 8: slow reads and decisions leading to sacks. I can't have

87
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 8: scrambles and guys taking hits from giant linebackers. Kid's brain boggled,

88
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 8: brain getting even more boggled.

89
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 2: Just see the routes, man, Just make the reads.

90
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 8: Remember that you've been really, really high end at this

91
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 8: for your entire life, and now this is just the

92
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 8: next graduating step. Make some throwsing has been so diseased

93
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 8: this year.

94
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 2: Man.

95
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 8: But if he can feel and I truly believe this,

96
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 8: if he can feel some actual tangible success on Sunday,

97
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 8: that will be really important to the growth process.

98
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 2: And if that all happens, and if we're.

99
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 9: Free free ball in I think he could play a

100
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 9: turnover free game and and that would lead to some

101
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 9: success for all number nine on Sunday.

102
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 6: Topic exchange, Well, let's discuss a twenty two year old

103
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 6: of a different variety. Oh, because Dallas has turnered a corner.

104
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 6: Darnold down on the shotgun four man rush.

105
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: He's hit again, He's sacked again, and the ball came out.

106
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 10: Dive on it.

107
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 2: Vikings come on.

108
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 3: The ball is bouncing about at the forty five Seeattle

109
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 3: recovered it back at the forty five yard line.

110
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: So that's gonna be a loss of eight yards. That

111
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: is Darnold's six fumble this year. He's lost four. He

112
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: had no idea where Dallas Turner was coming from. Because

113
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: Dallas now emerges from under the cover of darkness. He

114
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: has so much cunning and guile let's put this in context.

115
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: Are you ready for some context the con text.

116
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 6: I love it and I'm ready for it. Edge, you

117
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 6: guys at age twenty two? Okay, Edge, you guys threw

118
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,040

120
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 6: forty five tackles, five sacks, and eight tackles for loss

121
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 6: at age twenty two. So if you were a rookie

122
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 6: at age twenty one, that's out of the contextual chat.

123
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 6: Edge you guys at age twenty two, who were first

124
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 6: round picks with at least forty five tackles, five sacks,

125
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 6: and eight tackles for loss. The twenty two year old

126
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 6: Alabama product this year has five and a half sacks,

127
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 6: eight tackles for loss, and forty six tackles, meaning as

128
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 6: he grows and matures, there undoubtedly is better to come.

129
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't there be.

130
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 6: We are experiencing it right before our very ears on

Speaker 6: the KFA and Minnesota Vikings Audio network. But as of now,

Speaker 2: Lacheron all of age twenty two.

161
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 3: It's that's what Dallas is doing right nowadays, twenty two.

162
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: Like we said.

163
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 6: Monday, when the Pros was dead, but we still remembered,

164
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 6: the demise of Dallas Turner has been greatly exaggerated. Patience

165
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 6: is a virtue, and Dallas Turner is paying off those

166
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 6: who are and were patient enough to wait.

167
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 2: It's kind of.

168
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 8: Nutty two with the playing time that he has gotten.

169
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 8: So after his rookie year, he's seventeenth overall selection I

170
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 8: think it was seventeen and all the equity and he

171
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 8: only gets three hundred snaps and it's like, okay, well

172
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 8: you're behind all Pro caliber and the gang. You're behind

173
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 8: what Grenard is offering this team. Show us something, Dallas,

174
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 8: show us something.

175
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 2: You're thinking bo Richter's on your heels.

176
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 8: And even into twenty twenty five, how will Flores get

177
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 8: Turner involved? And at first, really I think I'd say

178
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 8: about half the season, you see him getting those reps

179
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 8: and you're thinking, Okay, I get it. There's the athleticism,

180
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 8: there is he splashing, and because of injury, the opportunity

181
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 8: to get and stack reps and get rhythm and consistency

182
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 8: and when that light turns on, which that's kind of

183
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 8: what it appears is happening now when the light turns on,

184
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 8: Dallas has been terrific now and with this three game stretch,

185
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 8: look out, Marcus Mariota because the twenty two year olds

186
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 8: about to make it four straight. I can't wait to

187
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 8: see Dallas, the twenty two year olds hopefully showing out

188
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 8: at US Bank Stadium, and the team finally getting another

189
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 8: freaking win in front of their home fan base.

190
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 2: Please let's do it.

191
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 6: So when we off microphone, are like off season vikings talkers. Yeah,

192
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 6: are we really going to have to do this? And

193
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 6: is it really going to be all about that? And

194
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 6: are the talkbacks that we claim will take but probably

195
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 6: never will take or the six four six, eight six

196
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 6: are they all going to be involving Yes, January, very minds.

197
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 6: I've had that all the way after the draft and everything. Okay,

198
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 6: it's the lot in life that has been chosen for us,

199
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 6: So therefore we execute the toil with context hard work,

200
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 6: and hopefully entertainment value. But at the end of the

201
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 6: season with five to go with Dallas Turner at age

202
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 6: twenty two is a first round edge rusher at age

203
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 6: twenty two, and the contextual qualifiers these you know, it's

204
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 6: hashtag faith radio for sure, but if your hashtag sciences everything, person,

205
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 6: you can't dispute the numbers. I mean, at the end

206
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 6: of the equation, I can't say that a twenty two

207
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 6: year old Dallas Turner with five and a half sacks

208
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 6: will finish with more sacks than the twenty two year

209
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 6: old Michael Parsons did he at thirteen. However, I can

210
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 6: say he should finish with more sacks than the twenty

211
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 6: two year old Will Anderson him who had seven. He

212
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 6: already has more sacks than a twenty two year old

213
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 6: Rokwan Smith. He's right on the heels of twenty two

214
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 6: year old Andre Carter and or Justin Smith. The same

215
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 6: with Brian Urlacker. He's going to have as a twenty

216
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 6: two year old first round edge rusher, more tackles than

217
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 6: Will Anderson, Aiden Hutchinson, Brian Burns, Nick Bosa, maybe Bradley

218
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 6: Chubb already, Chandler Jones, and I mean we can go

219
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 6: on and on, but like Sean Merriman's in there, he'll

220
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 6: have more tackles than him. What about tackles for loss?

221
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 6: Dallas who has Turner de Corner has eight tackles for loss?

222
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 6: If he gets two more than at age twenty two,

223
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 6: is the first round edge rusher, He'll have more than

224
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 6: Aiden Hutchinson. He'll have more than Brian Burns, Roqwan Smith,

225
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 6: He'll have more than Chandler Jones. He'll have more than

226
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 6: Rolando McClain, Young Alec. Go crazy for Yourbama Crimson tide.

227
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 6: There's a puncher's chance to pass the likes of Andre Carter,

228
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 6: Justin Smith and maybe catch Brian Urlacker. It's not bad

229
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 6: contextual equity. Rude Nation, twenty two year old first round

230
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 6: edge of rushers, and there they are. It's nine to fifteen.

00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 8: Hamm named the Vikings twenty twenty five Walter Peyton NFL.

247
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 2: Man of the Year Award.

248
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 8: He's the team's nominee and they just kind of listed,

249
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 8: I mean, all sorts of things. There's a statement from

250
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 8: Mark will I'm sure you'll find the team putting out there.

251
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 8: But whether it's the Ham Scholarship Fund, Boys and Girls Club,

252
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 8: pamper Her Purple Children's Minnesota CJ. Ham youth football camps.

253
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 8: These are just a handful of the many things that

254
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 8: CJ supports. He and his family, his wife Stephanie and

255
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 8: all involved. And he's the team's Walter Payton NFL Man

256
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 8: of the Year Award nominee.

257
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 2: CJ.

258
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 8: Ham getting lost in this you think about early in

259
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 8: the year, not available and what he means to the

260
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 8: special teams, what he can mean from a past protection standpoint.

261
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 2: CJ.

262
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 8: Ham has carved out one hell of a career here

263
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 8: in Purple, has any pa well?

264
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 2: CJ.

265
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 6: Ham is always saying quite uncomfortable, might be too strong.

266
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 6: He doesn't like to overshare with the philanthropic nature of

267
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 6: his life using the platforms God has given him to

268
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 6: better the lives of others. Kirk Cousins was very much

269
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 6: that way too. So the Vikings it's probably a Vikings

270
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 6: dot com. I just saw it at Vikings via X.

271
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 6: His daughter came into the TCO radio studio and they

272
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 6: filmed her talking about daddy and what he does off

273
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 6: the field. It's touching, it's beautiful and hopefully it's eye

274
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 6: opening to many vikes bites.

275
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 2: What would be eye opening this weekend?

276
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 8: Pa is JJ McCarthy a full participant in practice by

277
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 8: the way, So it appears that full steam ahead for

278
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 8: number nine into Sunday.

279
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 2: But it would be eye opening.

280
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 8: And appreciative if Christian Darisaw was back in the mix.

281
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 8: Here's head coach Kevin O'Connell yesterday talking about it.

282
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 7: Yeah, Donovan is not quite there yet from a standpoint

283
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 7: of participating in practice, but he's rapidly recovering and doing

284
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 7: everything in his power to be on the field. It's

285
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 7: been awesome to see and we'll see how that works

286
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,239
Speaker 7: towards the end of the week. He's proven off the

287
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 7: you know, the wrist surgery earlier this year. He can

288
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 7: go off the Christian player at a pretty high level

289
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 7: if he can get to that place where he's stable

290
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 7: and has the power and tinge direction.

291
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 2: Even mentioned those things.

292
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 7: And then like I said, you know, Monday, the plan

293
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 7: for Christian is to have his normal kind of work

294
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 7: week and flow and play in the football game.

295
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 8: All right, Well, first of all, lesson and proof listening

296
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 8: to audio bits as they are labeled in the system.

297
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 8: But as you heard it there the plan for Donovan

298
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 8: Jackson not quite ready to get back onto the field.

299
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 8: And then that little snippet At the end, Christian Darris

300
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 8: saw the plan for him as he's going to have

301
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 8: a normal week of practice and be ready to go

302
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 8: against the commanders. If JJ is going to be free

303
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 8: bad and it'd be nice to have Christian back in

304
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 8: the mix, wouldn't it.

305
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 6: Amen, I became done making Christian darisaw playing related predictions

306
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 6: on like Fridays and Saturdays a month and a half ago. Yeah, So,

307
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 6: I mean I got a gut feeling as to weather

308
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 6: he'll play. It's a positive feeling. But nevertheless, we got today,

309
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 6: we got tomorrow, you got Saturday, and I guess we'll

310
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,719
Speaker 6: find out Sunday at noon. But it can be argued

311
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 6: that as things are constructed the way they are now,

312
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 6: he's the single most important person, certainly on the offense,

313
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 6: but on this team. And that's a topic that will

314
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 6: be broached with Nacho Lieberg.

315
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 2: Mikes Fikes.

316
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 8: I have two audio bits I'm gonna play from Kevin O'Connell.

317
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 2: The first is in relation to you. You sure it's

318
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 2: not Mike Tyson. Well, we're about to find out.

319
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 8: I think this is about Jordan Addison getting back on

320
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 8: track in terms of his production.

321
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 7: Obviously, our past game has never really existed in a

322
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 7: place where it was in a top ten caliber, you know,

323
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 7: in the league kind of pass game. We're not that

324
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 7: right now in any way shape or form, our execution,

325
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,239
Speaker 7: our ability to pitch and catch, our protection from you know,

326
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 7: on enough of these weighty downs where it's a combination

327
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 7: of a lot of things. So you have to ask

328
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 7: yourself those questions as far as individual impact players, but

329
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 7: then obviously strain those through the lens of what do

330
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 7: we need to do to make sure that the collective

331
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 7: group is successful, can sustain momentum and hopefully stack positive place.

332
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 8: All right, here's the deal proof listening lesson number two.

333
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 8: You heard it in relation to a position group, but basically,

334
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 8: let me just paraphrase my own question. Then, since the

335
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 8: audio has not been correctly labeled, Jordan Addison, we've heard,

336
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 8: you know, talking back on track, we've seen some drops

337
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 8: in some of those things, the mental wherewithal of the

338
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 8: of the head guy, that being justin Jefferson, how he's

339
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 8: handled the trials of a tough twenty twenty five season,

340
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 8: the toughest thing for me and maybe for you. And

341
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 8: I'm curious how the coaches look at this internally is

342
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 8: how do I evaluate Jordan Addison, how do I evaluate

343
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 8: Justin Jefferson, How do I evaluate the pass offense at large?

344
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 8: Or even have conversations about, well, here's what TJ could

345
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 8: have done on this route. Jalen Naylor, Hey, he's open

346
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 8: and no one ever sees them. That's those sorts of

347
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 8: things when the problem, the crux of the issue with

348
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 8: this offense has really since minute one, been at the

349
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 8: QB position. So we can hit him in moments with drops,

350
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 8: we can hit him in moments where this didn't look

351
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 8: lart right. Two receivers effectively ending up in a route

352
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 8: at the exact same spot, Well, that means something went wrong.

353
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 8: But the true focus of the offense has always been

354
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 8: about the QB. I'm just curious how Kevin O'Connell handles

355
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 8: some of those thoughts in some of those issues internally,

356
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 8: when the QB really impacts everything else we see from

357
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 8: the skill set players.

358
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, for me that they're the evaluation of Justin Jefferson

359
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 6: is a complete non player. I mean he's put so

360
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 6: much good in so many different ways on tape for

361
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 6: so many plays in so many years. Yeah, it's obviously

362
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 6: a complete outlier or aberration that he has two touchdowns

363
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 6: and hasn't had more than one hundred yards since the

364
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 6: Cleveland game at Tottenham Hotspur. Addison would fall under the

365
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 6: evaluation category for me, even though it's I know in

366
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 6: my heart if you can push buttons or pull strings

367
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 6: with Jordan Addison and get everything on and off the

368
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,479
Speaker 6: field to work exactly the way you want it, he

369
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 6: is a high end one a to a receiver who

370
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 6: has a chance to go to the Hall of Fame.

371
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 6: Now he falls under the evaluation or we're worthy of

372
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 6: evaluation category for me, simply because it has been topsy

373
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 6: turvy ever since he got here, and now we're dropping

374
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 6: passes that are hard to catch, but he has caught

375
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 6: and need to be caught badly. I think that barely

376
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 6: falls into the evaluation category. So but justin Jefferson, I

377
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 6: mean his work away from the ball this year and

378
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 6: his work in the run force or the chip game

379
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 6: has been the best of his career and is not

380
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 6: even close.

381
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 8: Mikes, Mikes, Well, let's try this one one more. We're

382
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 8: gonna try it. Hopefully we go at least one to three.

383
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 2: Here happened.

384
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 8: This is Kevin O'Connell from yesterday talking about JJ McCarthy

385
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 8: the decision maker, making the right decisions potentially when it's running,

386
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 8: protecting himself and how that all plays into his growth

387
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 8: process as a QB.

388
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 7: It's part of the learning process of understanding, especially with

389
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 7: the guys that are so competitive and have played a

390
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 7: certain style and made a play to win a national

391
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 7: championship by doing so, or whatever it is, maybe early

392
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 7: on in their career made a play to win a

393
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 7: game by doing so, like just the totality of it,

394
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 7: and when the full season's worth of information and data

395
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 7: can now tell you that that needs to be a

396
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 7: part of your refined thought process, protecting yourself and getting

397
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 7: what you can.

398
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 2: And it's a positive play.

399
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 7: And then you put a period on that sentence by

400
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 7: your ability to move on and play the next.

401
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 8: Snap, protecting the kid staying on the field. One talker,

402
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 8: we really just haven't I mean, and it's not even

403
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 8: necessarily a talker, because how can we impact this PA

404
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 8: is I want to see as part of these final

405
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 8: five games, free balling and all jokes aside for nineballing.

406
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 2: I want I just want them to be healthy.

407
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 8: I mean that that's what that's that's another part of

408
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 8: it that we can't necessarily evaluate because he's not on

409
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 8: the field. But if the kid's going to improve, if

410
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 8: this kid's going to make strides, if this kid's going

411
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 8: to show that spark in the pulse, he just has

412
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 8: to stay on the freaking field. So the the ankle nickups,

413
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 8: maybe you can't help that. The concussion protecting yourself on

414
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 8: some of these runs, making the decision to slide being

415
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 8: available is in some ways as much of a factor

416
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 8: in how we continue to look at the kid as

417
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 8: what we're actually seeing on the field. So hopefully the

418
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 8: decision making and a free mind are part of the

419
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 8: equation for him this Sunday, I.

420
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 2: Agree with all of that for my taste.

421
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 6: The most interesting thing Kevin O'Connell said yesterday, and I'm

422
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 6: gonna have to paraphrase this because i don't have the

423
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 6: transcript in front of me, was and I don't want

424
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 6: to go too far on one side and short change

425
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 6: another side. It kind of was, there's a good chance

426
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 6: JJ is going to be back. He's practicing in full

427
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 6: and when it comes to the schematics and the footwork

428
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 6: and the details and everything that goes into what we've

429
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:56,479
Speaker 6: worked on for so long. It's not necessarily let's just

430
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 6: throw that away until the off season and quote letting

431
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 6: Blake quarterback end quote. But there's going to be the

432
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 6: JJ McCarthy we see this weekend. I think the way

433
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 6: they're designing the week of practice, which is less to

434
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 6: the detail of hey you're off two inches with this,

435
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 6: Hey you're off three inches with that, I think it's

436
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 6: going to be you've learned what you've learned. It's going

437
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 6: to naturally continue to come to you. Take the snap,

438
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 6: see it and throw it, and just let loose and

439
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 6: just play more loosely. I'm looking for that. I'm looking

440
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 6: forward to that.

441
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 8: That's Vikes Fits brought to you by Thousand Hills Lifetime,

442
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 8: Grazed Grass Fed Boo.

443
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 6: The Golden Gophers football team allegedly had a ballyhooed national

444
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 6: signing Day, and the basketball team beat twenty second ranked

445
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 6: Indiana last night. Mike Grimm was on the call for

446
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 6: the College Basketball Life Changer, and he knows more about

447
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 6: Gophers football than really anybody listening, and that wouldn't include us.

448
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 6: Grimmer is going to join us in studio nine to noon.

449
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 6: When we reached earned to FM one hundred point three kfan.

450
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 10: Here's the last step. It's sneel down thirty five seconds.

451
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 10: They will not need to snap again. There's the dash

452
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 10: to the end zone to the left. Rushawn Lawrence is

453
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 10: the first man there. The axe is in hand. It

454
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 10: stays where.

455
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 4: It belongs in Minneapolis, Minnesota snow angels from the Gopher cheerleaders,

456
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 4: head first dives by the Gopher players, and Minnesota beats

457
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 4: Wisconsin seventeen to seven.

458
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 6: And the axe stays here. The voice of Mike Grim.

459
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 6: He is the play by play voice for Golden Gophers

460
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 6: football and he's also the Voxford basketball National Signing Day

461
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 6: is coming gone and pjscrop is bally hoot on the

462
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 6: national level. First, uh the the a topic when it

463
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 6: comes to recency was mister Medved's team beating a ranked

464
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 6: team last night.

465
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 2: Grimmer was on the call. What was that live? It

466
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 2: was awesome.

467
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 11: They that that program really needed that at that particular time.

468
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 11: I don't think a lot of folks expected the Gophers

469
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 11: given the situation. They were without two starters, including their

470
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 11: point guard, and he's gonna be out for the year

471
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 11: with a broken foot, so that's not good news.

472
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 2: And so there was some you know, doppers down so

473
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 2: to speak.

474
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 11: Uh, and I think it was what a nine point spread,

475
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 11: and it just it just wasn't gonna look great.

476
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 2: And they hung tough.

477
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 11: They got down by seven or eight midway first half,

478
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 11: fought back to tie it at halftime, and then pretty

479
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 11: much controlled the second half.

480
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 2: Their defense was great.

481
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 11: Tucker DeVries the best player for Indiana who probably is

482
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 11: going to be an NBA player. Langston Reynolds, Minnesota's transfer

483
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 11: from Northern Colorado really shut him down. Played, physical, got

484
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 11: up in him. He was for thirteen. He hasn't had

485
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 11: many days like that. And they hit a couple of

486
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 11: free throws late. Indiana helped. You know, when you're beating

487
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 11: the ranked team and you're out man the way the

488
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 11: Gophers were, you're gonna need a little help from them,

489
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 11: and they missed some free throws in the second half

490
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 11: Indiana did. So it all comes down to that. You

491
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 11: get to win. And when you had an emotional week

492
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,719
Speaker 11: the way it was coming off of, you know, two

493
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 11: games in California they probably weren't real proud of. They

494
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 11: got run by Santa Clara, had a chance to win

495
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 11: the Stanford game and lost that lost to San Francisco,

496
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 11: who lost to somebody I'd never heard of last night,

497
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 11: but they lost to San Francisco in two fall, so

498
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 11: it was three straight losses. The injury situation was stacking up,

499
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 11: and that's a nice little jolt of energy to get

500
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 11: a win like that, and the crowd was really good.

501
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 2: We still need more people.

502
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 11: Coming back to the barn, and I hope that that will,

503
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 11: that win last night will precipitate people coming out, because

504
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 11: last night proved it can be just an exceptional.

505
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 2: Time when things are going well.

506
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 6: Go for sports dot com to get tickets to see

507
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 6: Nico Medved's team and also learn more about that basketball

508
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 6: program that be twenty second ranked Indiana last night. I'm

509
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 6: gonna I'm gonna lay this out there and then just

510
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 6: let you go the I like a lot that the

511
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 6: Golden Gophers have a quarterback who got a lot of

512
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 6: reps in Drake Lindsay. So I see that nucleus and

513
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 6: what can you build off of it with the transfer

514
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 6: portal and National Signing Day. Now National Signing Day has

515
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 6: coming gone and Pj's crop is it's getting a lot

516
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 6: of respect on the national level. So what's good with

517
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 6: this year's crop of talented kids and golden Gophers football. Yeah,

518
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 6: it's a it's it's a it's the biggest class thirty

519
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 6: one when they have now done it. Used to be

520
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 6: you couldn't sign more than twenty five, and now with

521
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 6: the with the portal and with teams coming and going,

522
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,959
Speaker 6: some programs are like, we need to take more than

523
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 6: twenty five because we're losing twenty five guys to the

524
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 6: portal or whatever, especially like Max Schools. Right, if you're

525
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 6: good in the MAC, all of a sudden, the big

526
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 6: ten comes calling and so they will be signing big

527
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 6: classes there as well. So it's quantity is part of it,

528
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 6: but in this case there's a lot of quality as well.

529
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 6: They've got the top three players in Minnesota signed, sealed

530
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 6: and delivered, which is great.

531
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 11: That has really taken a hold. Remember that has been

532
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 11: a big issue for a long time. Coaches have struggled

533
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 11: with that. And now I want to say, this is

534
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 11: like the fifth or sixth straight year where the top

535
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 11: one or two guys from Minnesota have come to Minnesota. Now,

536
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 11: Quinn Carroll and Jackson Howard. They took the circuitous route,

537
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,239
Speaker 11: one to Notre Dame and one to LSU, they were

538
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 11: number one in their respective classes, but eventually worked their

539
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 11: way back to the Maroon and Gold. But to get

540
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 11: the top three guys and Burnsey, who follows that part

541
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 11: of it closer than I haven't seen any of those

542
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 11: three players play in person, and quite frankly, haven't seen

543
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 11: much of their film. But people who know tell me

544
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 11: that all three of those guys are legit like prospects.

545
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 11: Like the Trout kid who was an offensive blind from

546
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 11: Saint Cloud. He's gonna have likely if if if you

547
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 11: could write his path, it sounds like red shirt as

548
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 11: a freshman, start as a red shirt freshman. Like Nathan Roy,

549
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 11: who was the number one guy in Wisconsin last year

550
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 11: two years ago that PJ signed, sat out one year,

551
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 11: and he started every game this year at left tackle

552
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,719
Speaker 11: or I guess he moved at one point, but anyway,

553
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 11: he started every game up front. And then you've got

554
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 11: the kid from from Jackson County Central, Roman Voss, who

555
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 11: played quarterback but it's going to be a tight end

556
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 11: for Minnesota and just a tremendous athlete. And then and

557
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 11: then you got the kid from Forest Lake, a defensive

558
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 11: lineman who everybody likes. Two quarterbacks, in this class, and

559
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 11: you always you need depth now because quarterbacks who aren't

560
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 11: going to play don't want to stick around. So you

561
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 11: got to have enough guys that that that somebody's there.

562
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 11: Because Lindsay is going to be the starter, there's no

563
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 11: question about that. They're going to retain him at some cost,

564
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 11: I suppose, because quarterbacks that start in the Big Ten

565
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 11: are going to make some money, so you need some

566
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 11: guy behind him just in case. But you're right to

567
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 11: build it around him. He got tons of reps. He

568
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 11: was great over the course of the year. PA in

569
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,479
Speaker 11: clutch time was Lindsay. He brought them back to win

570
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 11: against Purdue. He brought them back to win against Rutgers,

571
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 11: he brought them back to win against Michigan State. He

572
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 11: brought them back to have a game tying kick potentially

573
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 11: to send it to overtime against Northwestern. The kick was missed.

574
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 11: So in clutch time he's been phenomenal. He's a great kid,

575
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 11: great leader. Guys want to run through the wall for him.

576
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 11: So yeah, that part of it is really really exciting

577
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 11: to have a quarterback in the fold, and obviously that

578
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 11: they need to retain him, and I think things are

579
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 11: leaning that that's what's going to happen.

580
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 2: Well, and we'll start there.

581
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 8: There were a couple of things you mentioned again busy,

582
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 8: busy signing day and a lot to dig into. But

583
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 8: whether it was the San Diego kid Brady Palmer, which

584
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 8: you know he's used to like doing little mini weekends

585
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 8: with his parents on Coronado, and then he's up here

586
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 8: during the Acts game and it's snowing in fifteen degrees,

587
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 8: he somehow decides to commit. Then there was an Illinois

588
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 8: kid owing Lance again, both quarterbacks. You know how much

589
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 8: I mean, Drake Lindsay's success really impacts their tenure here

590
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 8: in some regards.

591
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 11: Yeah, and again, in this day and age, you just

592
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 11: never know. So I think you have to cast a

593
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 11: wide net. I'm sure that's part of why you know

594
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 11: you bring thirty one guys in, because it's a I

595
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 11: asked PJ yesterday about that the needle you have to

596
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 11: thread here in terms of how many high schoolers do

597
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 11: you bring in because you think you've got an idea

598
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 11: of who might come and go, and you want to

599
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 11: save some spots for the transfer portal because you have

600
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 11: areas of immediate need that you need to address, like

601
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 11: most of these thirty one that signed yesterday are going

602
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 11: to be limited in playing time. There's very few true

603
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 11: freshmen that play in the Big Ten. You know, it's

604
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 11: a many just won't play much and then slowly but

605
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 11: surely develop into players. Some play right away, like coy Perritch,

606
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,760
Speaker 11: and then there's most of them kind of in between

607
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,919
Speaker 11: where you might get four or five games and get

608
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,720
Speaker 11: called into duty and hope that you know, you develop

609
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 11: and then you keep them. And then in PG case Nordo,

610
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 11: they run a very unique program. I think that you know,

611
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 11: they talk about it like they they want to fit.

612
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 11: Obviously you want highly skilled players, but they want the fit.

613
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 11: And I think they feel like in this day and

614
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 11: age where you got to kind of be efficient with

615
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 11: with your with your resources. You bring in thirty one

616
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 11: guys and not all, certainly at the end of the day,

617
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,399
Speaker 11: are going to say this is just a great place

618
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 11: for me.

619
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 2: It just is.

620
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 11: There's going to be some attrition, but the good ones

621
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 11: that are going to get calls their agents are going

622
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,879
Speaker 11: to get call some other programs. If you have them

623
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 11: here for a year, A two, a three, and all

624
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 11: of a sudden, this is the culture I want. This

625
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 11: is the culture you know, I live in this programs

626
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 11: for me, then you're efficient. You can keep those guys

627
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 11: for maybe less than what somebody else. Anthony Smith is

628
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 11: an example of that. He loves the culture. He could

629
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 11: have gone to some you know, high end programs last year.

630
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 11: So back to your quarterback situation, I think that's part

631
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 11: of it. You got to bring in a few guys

632
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 11: just so you want you want quality backups. You never

633
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 11: know everyone, as they say, you're a snap away, but

634
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 11: you know there's no doubt that Lindsay's going to be

635
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 11: the guy. There's Brady Palmer. PJ yesterday talked about he's

636
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 11: a three sport athlete, football, rugby, and surfing. And he

637
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 11: came on his visit. So he had been committed to

638
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,280
Speaker 11: Cal and then Cal fired their coach, so he reopened

639
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 11: his commitment. He had come to a visit on Minnesota

640
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 11: back in the process when before he had committed, you know,

641
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 11: a year or two ago, and so he comes on

642
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 11: a visit after he had reopened his commitment to the

643
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 11: snow game last week. So here's a kid from San

644
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 11: Diego who you know probably has a palm tree in

645
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 11: his front yard and he's been surfing all his life.

646
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,280
Speaker 11: He comes to this snow game and Pj's like, well,

647
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 11: as a staff, we discussed it, this is going to

648
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 11: go one of two ways. It's going to be like,

649
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,280
Speaker 11: no chance am I ever going to play in weather

650
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,280
Speaker 11: like this? Or this is awesome? And the kid committed

651
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 11: after the game, so he chose this as awesome.

652
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 8: You know, I don't have every name, every position in

653
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 8: front of me, but of those thirty one that you mentioned,

654
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 8: it felt like whether it's the old line like running

655
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 8: game going to be a big part of the conversation

656
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 8: this offseason of what Drake c Lindsay's doing. But my goodness,

657
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 8: can we move the ball on the ground. You mentioned it,

658
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 8: Nathan Roy two years ago best in Wisconsin's class and

659
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 8: he heads to Minnesota. Is fickle in a pickle here

660
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 8: because their top o lineman in the state. Let me

661
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 8: find it. Gavin Meyer. He's picking Maroon in Golden South

662
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 8: yesterday for the gofers and I remember years ago. You've

663
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 8: been around long enough, you know how these conversations go

664
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 8: if you're not keeping your best in state. You mentioned

665
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 8: Pj's got the top three and he's continuing to make

666
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 8: those and build those continuing inroads in Minnesota, but he's

667
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 8: hopping over the border and getting the best in cheese Land,

668
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 8: the best beefeedters over there.

669
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and fickles in a pickle.

670
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 11: Maybe you're right, And think about Wisconsin US losing linement

671
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 11: like that, that that is yeah, you know, I mean

672
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 11: they've had so many good offensive linemen over the years,

673
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 11: right that I think we need to change our faces

674
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 11: on that.

675
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 6: And here's why Pj's pointed it out multiple times. And

676
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 6: it's not like the Joe Thomas is or the os

677
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 6: U Ohio State offensive lineman Doujr. Steve Hutchinson Michigan. It's

678
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 6: not like that's not going to happen again. The game

679
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 6: has just changed so much with the spread offense that

680
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 6: the the power ahead running game, vertical passing game, powerhouse

681
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 6: been it's.

682
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 2: Just a day of the pass. Yeah, it is.

683
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 11: And part of that too gets into quarterback drafting too, right,

684
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 11: you know what what is a quarter Well, this quarterback

685
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 11: all his career has been a one read guy right

686
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 11: on this quick passing game or and how does that

687
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 11: translate to the NFL? And you I'm sure these NFL

688
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 11: scouts really have to dive into that. And you wonder

689
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 11: sometimes in terms of how they you know, quarterback throws

690
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 11: for five thousand yards doesn't necessarily guarantee success at the

691
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 11: next level up. But you think about Wisconsin Nordo two

692
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 11: and all the linemen they've had, and and and they

693
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 11: changed their identities. Certainly when they switch coaches. I'm certainly

694
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 11: not yet ready to just say, you know, throw dirt

695
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 11: on them and say, well they're done, it's over, because

696
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 11: in sports you never know. I think they only signed

697
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 11: thirteen high schoolers yesterday, which is pretty low, so they're

698
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 11: going to have to count on the transfer portal. Their issue,

699
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 11: I think their big issue, and in fairness to Fickle,

700
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 11: is they just have not been able to keep a

701
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 11: quarterback healthy. Like all three of their years, they've played

702
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 11: like three, four or five quarterbacks for whatever reason, the

703
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 11: guys they have brought in have gotten hurt.

704
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 2: And so that's hard.

705
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 11: I mean in today's day and age, the depth of

706
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 11: quarterback because quarterbacks don't want to sit right, they want

707
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 11: to play. Their window is limited and when you can

708
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 11: come and go and you're a free agent every year,

709
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 11: if you're the backup, there's a good chance you're not

710
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 11: going to stick around at your place. You're going to

711
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 11: go look someplace where you can play. So the depth

712
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 11: behind a starter and that's why again you take some

713
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 11: high school kids that you hope you can go with.

714
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 2: The Scout team.

715
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,439
Speaker 11: Quarterback for the Golfers was a kid from Laguna Beach

716
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 11: from last year that they got that they like.

717
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 2: So there's some depth there.

718
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 11: Max chicken Janski's the backup quarterback and he's got a

719
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 11: couple of years left. Yeah, the son of Jim Hick

720
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,439
Speaker 11: and Jansen Swimmer. Yeah, of Jim chicken Jansky, the former

721
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 11: Gopher basketball player. And what a great story. He played

722
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 11: in a couple of games this year and that Northwestern

723
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 11: State game had a touchdown run and a touchdown pass.

724
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 11: And he has been through some stuff, you know, losing

725
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 11: his mother at the end of last year, and you

726
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 11: know what, what a family and a Gopher legacy, So

727
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 11: that that's fun to watch. So he's he's going to

728
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 11: be in the mix as well. But you just have

729
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 11: to build some depth there with some guys that can go.

730
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 11: But Lindsey, there's no doubt that that he's he's going

731
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 11: to be their starter next year. And the kid is

732
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,879
Speaker 11: such a good guy. Talk to guards he too because

733
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 11: when we see him, he's just polite, he's just.

734
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 2: On top of it. He is a natural leader.

735
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 11: He's mature beyond his years, but he's still a kid too,

736
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,919
Speaker 11: if if that makes sense. There's a nice mesh point

737
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:51,720
Speaker 11: there with with his uh, you know, just his maturity level.

738
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 11: But yet he's he's he's kind of a kid yet too,

739
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 11: which is is fun.

740
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,479
Speaker 8: One guy that I'm excited to learn more about again

741
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 8: in the vein of we got the O Line Minnesota

742
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 8: Moving Company College Edition and then can we move the

743
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 8: ball on the ground?

744
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 2: How about this?

745
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 8: This might be the best thing in al Paso since

746
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 8: Aaron Jones was a utap.

747
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:12,720
Speaker 2: He broke Aaron Jones' record.

748
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 8: This Ryan Estrata cat seven thousand yards and ninety touchdowns

749
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,839
Speaker 8: in high school. Yeah, just a one man wrecking crew.

750
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 8: And apparently he's a freaking rocket. Like the kid can

751
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 8: run their speed in the mix. Something that would help

752
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,320
Speaker 8: with the ground game here in Minnesota.

753
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 3: Right.

754
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 11: That's one of the threads yesterday's recruiting class showed is

755
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 11: that they they went out and got some track guys.

756
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,720
Speaker 11: The guys just can flat out want to get fast.

757
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 11: They want to get faster. Everyone's got to get faster.

758
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 11: You know, a couple of these guys might be more

759
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 11: track than football, but they're like, well, we'll make them

760
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 11: football players.

761
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 2: But some of them are great.

762
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 11: Max this Astrata in five A Texas football and I

763
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 11: don't know where that ranks. I don't know if they

764
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 11: have Class eight A or whatever. I think it's nine,

765
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,800
Speaker 11: nine or nine. Yeah, so in class five he played

766
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 11: five A Texas football. He averaged almost fifteen yards of

767
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 11: carry last year. This past year, I think they might

768
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 11: still be in it too. I think they're still playing

769
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 11: playoffs in Texas. PJ had mentioned a few guys that

770
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 11: were still in it yesterday and that he might have

771
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 11: been one of them. But yeah, Strata is a great recruit.

772
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 11: They got three running backs, and they got a bunch

773
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 11: of offensive lineman. You mentioned Meyer from from Wisconsin and Trout,

774
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 11: who is from Saint Cloud, the Recorry area Recorrey High School,

775
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 11: Cold Spring is is his listed hometown. That's the number

776
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 11: one lineman in Minnesota, the number one lineman in Wisconsin.

777
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 11: They got a couple of other big guys, one kid

778
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 11: who at one point was committed to Ohio State out

779
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 11: of Phoenix. They got committed as an offensive lineman. So

780
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 11: you talk about that Nordo trying to get that run

781
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 11: game established, and three running backs and a bunch of

782
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 11: old linemen I think are going to help that.

783
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 6: Minnesota high school football sources tell me Howie Johnson from

784
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 6: Forest Lakes, a defensive lineman, as the potential to change games.

785
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 2: What do you know? Yeah, so he is.

786
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 11: Burnsy tells me yesterday he's going to be an in

787
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,839
Speaker 11: tier lineman and might be one of those guys. There's

788
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 11: a few of these guys in this class that you know,

789
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 11: they if they enroll early, they're going to maybe play

790
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 11: in the fall, and he might be one of them.

791
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 2: But if not, red shirt freshman year. But he he is.

792
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 11: It sounds like he's a guy that they believe because

793
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 11: it's hard in college football to get, you know, like

794
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 11: like the Clemsons and the Ohio States and the Alabamas.

795
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 11: They get the dudes that end up in the NFL

796
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 11: on the defensive line right the rush and they sack

797
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 11: and they run stuff.

798
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 2: And they do it all and then the tiering of.

799
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 11: College football it becomes a situation where all right, we

800
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 11: got to run stuffer, but he's not a great pass rusher,

801
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 11: or we got a guy that can get off the

802
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 11: ball and go sack at quarterback, but he's never in

803
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 11: his running lane. And that's you know, that's not always

804
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 11: the case. But to get the total package, things have

805
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 11: to fall right. And one of those things that sounds

806
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,879
Speaker 11: like this kid can be the total package. And when

807
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 11: he's you know, twenty minutes from campus, right, it helps, right,

808
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 11: So you got to land those eyes and they did,

809
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 11: and he was one of the early commitments. He's been

810
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 11: on board from early on, helped recruit the rest of

811
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 11: the class, and I know everyone's excited about him. He

812
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 11: actually ended up being the number one ranked recruit on

813
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 11: Burnsey's site in Minnesota.

814
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 2: Wow.

815
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,399
Speaker 11: Yeah, so out of those top three, uh, and they're

816
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 11: all they're all excellent.

817
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:18,320
Speaker 2: They're all excellent.

818
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 11: They're all you know, projected to be big time contributors.

819
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

820
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 8: You mentioned kind of the early getting them in as

821
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 8: quickly as possible. Eighteen of the thirty one is what

822
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 8: I read will actually be on campus next month, which

823
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 8: kind of helps maybe with getting them into spring games,

824
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 8: getting them maybe on the field in twenty twenty six.

825
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 2: Now, and think about like.

826
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 11: Those guys, I always get a kick and it's more

827
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 11: every year they're missing baseball for their high school team,

828
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 11: they're missing basketball and second semester, they're missing prom. H

829
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 11: it's a sacrifice, you know, but they also want to

830
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 11: play college football and it's become.

831
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 6: Norda and I both missed prom, but it was for

832
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 6: completely different races.

833
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 2: Nobody said yes.

834
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 11: A tough moment, Yeah, down down yeah see see. I

835
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,240
Speaker 11: on the other hand, had my pick. No, I'm just kidding,

836
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 11: uh huh No, it was. That's why they call it

837
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 11: the pick of the litter.

838
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,760
Speaker 8: Hey Grimmer, My last thing for you is simply actually okay,

839
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 8: signing days sweet thirty one kids hoops squad is beating Indiana.

840
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 2: Love that with Pj's team though.

841
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 8: In the next coming weeks like Bowl games seven and five,

842
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 8: Wisconsin the last handful of years feeling more like a

843
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 8: speed bump. But winning rival regames is sweet. So what

844
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 8: are we looking forward to here as we approached ballseason?

845
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 11: Yeah, one, last Saturday was awesome with the snow game.

846
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 11: There was this kind of euphoric feeling. By the fourth quarter,

847
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 11: it was pretty apparent Wisconsin wasn't moving the football enough

848
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 11: to there was not a concern. The Gophers get a

849
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 11: touchdown to go up ten and they start playing music

850
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 11: during the TV timeouts and it's like this huge sing along,

851
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 11: like they played the Piano Man and it's you know,

852
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,800
Speaker 11: twenty eight thirty. However, many people were left, some of

853
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 11: the Badger fans had left, but all singing along. And then,

854
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 11: you know, I wouldn't call it a field rush everyone

855
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 11: to the field rush. I would call it more of

856
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 11: a social gathering. The students just kind of meandered their

857
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 11: way onto the field, right, and it was great. I mean,

858
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,839
Speaker 11: you sit through that weather and you get the win,

859
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 11: you keep the acts. Anytime you beat Wisconsin is big

860
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 11: and and thank goodness they did win that game because

861
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 11: you know it had you know, they had lost two

862
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,919
Speaker 11: in a row. And sometimes the timing is just right

863
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 11: that you need to, you know, shut the faucet off,

864
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,240
Speaker 11: and that did it, and then you run that axe

865
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:27,720
Speaker 11: around the field and it stays in your trophy case.

866
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 2: That's a big deal, it really is.

867
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,240
Speaker 11: And so yeah, you're right now, they just wait transfer

868
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 11: portal opens in January. They'll likely be involved in that.

869
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 11: Pj's had discussions with you. He meets with every player now,

870
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 11: you know, postseason, and certainly some of those will probably

871
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 11: be hard discussions about you know, you're not projected maybe

872
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 11: to be in our plans or at least in the

873
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 11: too deep right now, it doesn't mean you can't work

874
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 11: your way into it. And so sometimes there's mutual decisions

875
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 11: because you need roster spots and you want what's best

876
00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:59,959
Speaker 11: for the kid. That's one thing I'd give PJ credit.

877
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 11: He'll he'll if he thinks that one of his players

878
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 11: is maybe not going to crack the two deep but

879
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 11: can play somewhere else, he'll help find.

880
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 2: You know.

881
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 11: They all these coaches know everybody and they've got certain connections. Hey,

882
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 11: you need a defensive back. We've got a kid that

883
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:17,800
Speaker 11: is just not quite there here, but at your place

884
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 11: he would be awesome, you know those kind of things.

885
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,760
Speaker 11: So all of this will work it out Nordo probably

886
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 11: over the next six to eight weeks. There's no transfer

887
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 11: portal now, which I can't believe that someone has won't.

888
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 11: In fact, I believe someone will sue at the end

889
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 11: of spring. Not in Minnesota, but somebody will sue. But

890
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 11: right now, once you're through January, you're stuck. You if

891
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 11: you get through spring ball, you can't transfer after that

892
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 11: without sitting out a year. The transfer window closes at

893
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 11: the end of January, and the coaches wanted that because

894
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 11: they wanted at the end of spring ball or going

895
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 11: into springball to.

896
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:50,840
Speaker 2: Know who is going to be on their team.

897
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's hard to go through all the springball and

898
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 11: then lose seven guys, right. I believe though, someone will

899
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 11: probably sue some quarterback at some school who's like, well,

900
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 11: I've been beaten out, I don't I can't stay here.

901
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 11: Why you keeping me from transferring? And the NCAA hasn't

902
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 11: won any cases where that's why we're headed where we're headed.

903
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 2: We'll see if that happens.

904
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 11: But the rules right now, as they're stated, at the

905
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 11: end of January, PJ is going to know who is

906
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 11: on his team on September fourth or whatever the first

907
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 11: game is.

908
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 2: Which.

909
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 6: Lastly, which Golden Gophers football player heading into the twenty

910
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 6: twenty six draft or college free agency do you believe

911
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,320
Speaker 6: will make the biggest impact in the NFL.

912
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, Well, first of all, we got to find out

913
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 11: who goes. So Anthony Smith tied for the lead in

914
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 11: big ten sacks. I think for a lot of the

915
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 11: season it was just assumed that he's gonna go. He's

916
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:42,879
Speaker 11: going to be an early round pick. It seems that

917
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 11: that notion is not one hundred percent anymore. That they're

918
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:48,239
Speaker 11: with nil and with different things. And like I said,

919
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 11: if you love the culture and you can make six

920
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 11: or seven figures in NIL and sponsorships and endorsement money

921
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 11: and all that stuff, there might be, Hey, I'll come

922
00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:00,080
Speaker 11: back and get fifteen sacks next year. Maybe because I

923
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 11: think the theory is he's not a first round pick even.

924
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:04,840
Speaker 11: I mean at the start of the year he was

925
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:06,919
Speaker 11: kind of like, hey, he's a first or second round pick.

926
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 11: And if you'd have told us in you know, in

927
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,879
Speaker 11: at Las Vegas and media days in July, that he's

928
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 11: going to lead the big ten in sacks, everyone would

929
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:17,399
Speaker 11: have said, well, he'll be He'll be a first round

930
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:17,839
Speaker 11: pick then.

931
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 2: And I think the theory is he won't.

932
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 11: He isn't, and so he's got to decide if I

933
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 11: come back and get fifteen sacks or eighteen, you know,

934
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 11: just kill it. Maybe I can work into a first

935
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 11: round pick while you know, this is the new thing

936
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 11: while making life changing money and being big man on camp,

937
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,399
Speaker 11: being big man on campus and loving the culture. I'm

938
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 11: not suggesting he's back. I don't know, but it's not

939
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 11: the slam dunk that he's going pro. And that's a

940
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 11: good question because there's not a lot of old guys

941
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 11: on the team this there's much of this team coming back.

942
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 11: Darius Taylor is probably not going into the draft. I

943
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,880
Speaker 11: don't think so. He's probably going to be back. He'll

944
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 11: make some good dough as well. And then we mentioned

945
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 11: the running backs that are there that are in the

946
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 11: recruiting class.

947
00:49:58,360 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 2: Some of those guys coming back.

948
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 11: AJ Turner was hurt, I'm off the top of my head,

949
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 11: I don't have my depth chart in front of him,

950
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 11: trying to think who who is a senior? And Devin

951
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 11: Eastern has got a shot, big defensive tackle from Shakapie.

952
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 11: You know, he'll absolutely be in a camp. I don't

953
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 11: know enough yet about you know, where the mel Kuipers

954
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:19,359
Speaker 11: of the world might have him slotted. Is he going

00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:20,880
