00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 4: team's gonna lose. I can't help but think that's a

66
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 4: little bit what you got going on right now.

67
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:12,639

00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: two we were dagger worthy.

76
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: We're daggerworthy a little bit. We can handle ourselves.

77
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, thick skin, covenant for the most part. And we're

78
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: we're ready. So your team's off of buy. So I'm

82
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: of rap their coattails.

83
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: Uh, Terry and Arnold? What do you think of him?

84
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: Great athlete, super handy. All right, that's cool. So anyway,

00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 4: mean and you guys are already whining about penalties. I

88
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 4: saw JJ's press conference. He's already he's already whining and

89
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 4: the game hasn't even started yet, Like I.

90
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000

94
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: did in week eighteen last year, I think he's gonnall

95
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: him around quite a bit. I think Terry, maybe this

96
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: time we actually have a quarterback who can hit him.

97
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 5: You're right, Sam Darnold was terrible. How many games they

98
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 5: win last urga season?

99
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,120

00:04:59,160 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: Let me say this.

107
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 5: You said, how is to Arnold? He's a great athlete.

108
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 5: That's like when you're like, how is it? He's a

109
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 5: good guy.

110
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I mean.

111
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 4: If I'm being honest, yeah, he's he's Uh, if he

112
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 4: was a.

113
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: Good player, he would have said he was a good player.

114
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 4: I'd much rather have DJ Reid back this week than

115
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 4: Terry on Arnold, if I'm being honest.

116
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 2: Is he coming back at some point?

117
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 4: Yeah? Right, it'll it'll be. It'll be either next week.

118
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 2: Of the following. Dj'll be back. Awesome.

119
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 5: Kirby Joseph isn't gonna play in this game. Court that

120
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 5: Dan Campbell, Okay, yeah, for sure. Brian branch is in

121
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 5: the mix though is.

122
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, Branches back, probably move Rocky Scene to safety, and

123
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: I think he'll be Harpernett.

124
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 2: I think it'll be Harper. Thomas Harper third year. I mean,

125
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 2: who knew he hasn't had an interception in his career.

126
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 2: Tackles Edge Legion had him going a little bit.

127
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I got him going. Yeah, the Legion

128
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,679
Speaker 4: of whom? Uh from the Tampa game? Uh wait a second,

129
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 4: is that a thing? Yeah, that's a thing they called.

130
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: They called the ambonymity of the secondary because of the injuries.

131
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: The Legion of Whom? That's right, that's fantastic. Holy cow,

132
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: that was actually great. But this generation well done.

133
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 2: It was.

134
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 4: I think you'll see Thomas Harper playing safety opposite Brian Branch.

135
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 4: Avante Maddox should be back. That will be primarily their

136
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 4: slock guy. I don't know what Rocky scenes damage was

137
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 4: in the Tampa Bay.

138
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: He should be back.

139
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 4: But yeah, it'll be a meek And and tarry On

140
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 4: at the outside corner position.

Speaker 2: So on on your boy, Addison. Did they ever?

142
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 5: Why does Brian Branch wear the green mouth guard in

143
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 5: his helmet.

144
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,679
Speaker 2: They ever, they ever, It's.

145
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 4: A it's like a it's something to do with like

146
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 4: a mental health thing that it's got some symbolic thing

147
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 4: with that. I don't know the exact details, but it's yeah,

148
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 4: it's it's a mental health thing that he wears in

149
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 4: his helmet, not obviously in his mouth.

150
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 2: I mean even wish I knew the exact thing, but

151
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: even that much, that's late. Well done. Yeah, that's yeah. Yeah,

152
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 2: he's a real Lions fan. Really, wasn't there. I thought

153
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: there used to be a rule you had to actually

154
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 2: wear the mouth guard.

155
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: Well, he wears one, he does, He wears one, and

156
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: then he's got the green one in his helmet. George

157
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: Furry never could play in the NFL because he just

158
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: wants to chew on his mouth guard, never used.

159
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 5: Its pickens has like two mouth guards dangling from his helmet.

160
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,679
Speaker 3: Okay, so what has been the evolution for you all jokes?

161
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 3: Aside from a season in which it's potential regression and

162
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 3: all the new and then you watch you watch that

163
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 3: Packers game and it was a disaster, right yep, And

164
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 3: then some reporter, Hey, can't you just mimic Ben Johnson's offense.

165
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 2: What an awful question. That was terrible. You won five

166
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 2: or six cents.

167
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 3: What's that evolution been like as a kiddies fan seeing that,

168
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 3: Oh wait, we still have the head coach, we still

169
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 3: have the attitude. We got a bunch of high enders

170
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 3: that have played together for a long time.

171
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 2: What's that been like? Yeah?

172
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 4: So, I think honestly, in Week one they just completely

173
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 4: got away from their identity. Really early on in that game,

174
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 4: they abandoned the run. And I was telling Alec this before,

175
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 4: but you know, the the run game has really evolved

176
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 4: with the new interior offensive line. They've gone away from

177
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 4: the outside zone almost completely, and they run duo now

178
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 4: almost almost exclusively with you know, Tate Ratleige who you

179
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 4: mentioned earlier, and Pine Sewel on the right side. So

180
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 4: they've gotten back to like, really their identity. And I

181
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 4: think week one is very often a liar, right. You see,

182
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 4: weird anomalies happen in week one, and that's kind of

183
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 4: what I mounted week one two in Lambeau. You know,

184
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 4: we got hit in the mouth early and never really

185
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 4: recovered and ever since then we've just gotten back to

186
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 4: who we are.

187
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: But if you won that game week one. Like I've

188
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: said for years, it's a harbinger.

189
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 2: I probably that's probably what I would have said. Yeah, yeah,

190
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 2: you're right, you're right. Was it a harbinger for the anyway? Three? Two?

191
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 2: Why are you doing that? Alex? I got him on

192
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 2: my side over here trying. I feel bad. He just

193
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 2: got booed by a whole restaurant. Oh I'm used to that. Yeah, no,

194
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,719
Speaker 2: it's fine, it's fine. No.

195
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 4: But and then with that, you set up the play

196
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 4: action pass. I think that's what you're going to see

197
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 4: a lot this weekend. You're going to see the intermediate

198
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 4: passing game to Saint Brown the Porta. I also think sneaky.

199
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 4: I told Alec this too, but I think this is

200
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 4: a sneaky.

201
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 2: Jamison Williams game.

202
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 4: Okay, well I would have put him third on your

203
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 4: little hierarchy before.

204
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 2: And that's and that's what I was going to ask you.

205
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: So we were talking through that eye.

206
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 3: As an outsider, as a Vikings fan, I see a

207
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 3: fair amount of the Lions. I kind of look at

208
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 3: him as being a one trick guy. Yeah, one trick guy.

209
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 3: That's very good at it. Because of to Alex's point,

210
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 3: how different these tools are in the toolbox.

211
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 2: Why do you think Jamison Williams might have a day?

212
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 4: So A couple of reasons, I think. I mean, first

213
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 4: of all, you're not wrong. I mean Jamison Williams, I

214
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 4: just read this had twenty seven percent of his routes

215
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 4: are essentially for love of the game routes where he's

216
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 4: running a go deep, you know, trying to work to

217
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 4: get the middle of the field open. But I think

218
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 4: that especially this week, you're going to see a little

219
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 4: bit more zone coverage. You're going to see Jamison Williams

220
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 4: work middle of the field, and they're going to take

221
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 4: I think you can you heard it here. First, they're

222
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 4: going to take multiple deep shots to Jamison Williams in

223
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 4: this game out.

224
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 2: Of the vide Yeah, that that that would make sense. Yeah.

225
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: His first touchdown, the first touchdown of his career, yeah,

226
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: was a deep shot against the Vikings YEP at Ford Field.

227
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: YEP.

228
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: Jason is with the Minnesota Vikings operation from three to

229
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: four under the assumption Christian Darisow, Bryan O'Neill, Jonathan Bernard

230
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: not returning, but plane Andrew Van Ginkhole playing hopefully markedly

231
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: more healthy than he was week eighteen.

232
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 2: Last year.

233
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: Obviously you know the Batman. You're an elite football mind, McCarthy, Jones,

234
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: Mason ole thing, what what, if anything do the Vikings

235
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: do that as an elite football mind has your attention.

236
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 4: So I think the biggest thing, and you guys mentioned

237
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 4: Flores against Ben Johnson earlier and the ability that Floraes

238
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 4: has to show multiple looks.

239
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 2: I think the and shout out to.

240
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 4: Frank rag now by the way, local local guy here

241
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 4: from Chanassen.

242
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, shut out Frank Raig now I miss him. Got

243
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: the restaurant on your side? Yeah, yeah, I worked the

244
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 2: crowd oftle Bit.

245
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 4: But Graham glasnow Glasgow now playing center and having to

246
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 4: communicate with Golf with all of these exotic looks that

247
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 4: Forest is going to show them. If the Vikings can

248
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 4: put pressure on Golf and and get in his grill

249
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 4: and force a turnover too, that's how they win this game.

250
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 4: If they can't do that, yeah, they won't win, right.

251
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: So, and in the game, Kitties plus six Minnesota minus four.

252
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 5: And the turnover, I mean, the turnovers last year were

253
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 5: so much of the identity of this team, Like forcing turnovers.

254
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: Was a flora staple, yep.

255
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 5: And they haven't been able to do it at a

256
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 5: level that that they need to. So you're I'm with

257
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 5: you completely. Like I also, the red zone feels like

258
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 5: a huge area in this game.

259
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 2: Oh.

260
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 5: I mean obviously last year Week eight team, we saw

261
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 5: how that played out. But I think for the Vikings

262
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 5: offense to respond in the red zone because I expect

263
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 5: them to get there in this game, that for me,

264
00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 5: it's huge.

265
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 2: Well you can get them in the red zone.

266
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 3: Part of my concern would be getting too just because

267
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 3: whether it's Aiden Hutchinson, he leaves the team with six sacks,

268
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 3: and I was talking with Pa off Air about it

269
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 3: because I have no idea who this guy is.

270
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 2: Al Claudine, he's.

271
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 3: Been a terror on the field with five sacks. That

272
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 3: defensive front now healthy. We didn't have the opportunity to

273
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 3: face Aiden a year ago. Now we're going to get

274
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 3: a look at him and the whole crew.

275
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: Man.

276
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 2: That's that's a nasty front.

277
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: And Week eighteen, by the way, just as you know,

278
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: for it from a memory standpoint, I mean it, you know,

279
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: forget the Darnald misses inside the ten. Yeah, that's part

280
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 1: of it. Flores defense brought it kept it close. If

281
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: they you could tell what they were doing, keep the

282
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: sucker closed for a while, and the elasticity with all

283
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: of these twos and threes and legion of whom they've

284
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: been using for like two and a half months, it's

285
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 1: gonna pop.

286
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 2: Well it did two weeks later.

287
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: It didn't pop in that game, but the Lions were

288
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: there for the taking. The Vikings just wouldn't take it

289
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: for myriad reasons. Yeah, wouldn't you agree with that? To Okay, now,

290
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: off that though in fairness, uh fighter fairness in Detroy

291
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: Lyons act. Hutchinson didn't play in that game. David Montgomery

292
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: didn't play in that game. Mcne me also anyway, well

293
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: now they're all playing in this game, okay. So I'm

294
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: telling you it's just it's different, this thing that we're

295
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: getting off a bye this weekend. I mean, you got

296
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: to throw some haymakers early. Man, if you're a Minnesota

297
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 1: Vikings underdog in this game, you gotta throw haymakers early

298
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 1: and get their attention.

299
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 2: Because it's with goff.

300
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: It's pitching, catch broup and then pitch and catch play action.

301
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: There's there's Jamison over the top. I mean they'll try

302
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: or maybe they'll.

303
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 2: And then you got to hear that song? Yeah, what

304
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 2: is the song? You you mentioned that I'm not singing

305
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 2: you know that? What is it? They play it after

306
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 2: every score?

307
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: And if the Packers and then the Bear's Ball down

308
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: Chicago be a supercharge?

309
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 2: They haven't actual written they do personal fights. You're not

310
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 2: getting me to sing, you know it? Though? Well just hey,

311
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 2: I'm not talking? Then what is it? All right, I'm

312
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 2: gonna find it. I'm finding a joke. Do you have the.

313
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 5: Copyright or do we have to like clear that up?

314
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 5: How does it work on the area?

315
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: And by the way, so did they come up with

316
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: this fight song like three years ago when they got good?

317
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 4: Anyway, I do think Alee McNeil playing in this game

318
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 4: is I mean, obviously having Hutch is huge, but having

319
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 4: pressure interior, especially with Red Iron heroes, with the Minnesota

320
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 4: Vikings interior.

321
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 2: Just such a good song. It's actually not a good song.

322
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 2: I'm with you on Alee McNeil.

323
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 5: He came back last week and I mean I kind

324
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 5: of forgot where he's where he is as like a

325
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 5: three technique Garussa passers.

326
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: The whole song has nine lines. He turned a charging

327
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: team that will not yield and when the blue and

328
00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: silver wave. Stand and cheer the brave raw raw rob

329
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: go hard, win the game with honor. You will keep

330
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: your fame down the field. You gain a lion. That's

331
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: the worst worst fight song. That's an awful fight I've

332
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: ever seen.

333
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 2: I'm telling you.

334
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 5: Every time they every time they score, they play it

335
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 5: and you'll be sitting in there and then they'll show

336
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 5: eminem and then they'll it's like.

337
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 2: How did they not? It is miserable.

338
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe they do do this when they're doing well,

339
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: stand and cheer the braid, but then it goes rah

340
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: rah rah.

341
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: How is it not amen? Ra amen ra amen roh.

342
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 2: Maybe it should be.

343
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 3: Well, this is the problem though, because fans were wearing

344
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 3: bags over their heads and you never had to sing

345
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 3: it for so long. That's maybe when it's Brad Holmes

346
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 3: and all these draft picks, all these reups, new look lions.

347
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 2: You guys need a new fight song.

348
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 4: So I did the I did the rhyme for the

349
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 4: NFC North round table for you. Maybe maybe I maybe

350
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 4: I come up with something.

351
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, you were a poet, and then at this stage

352
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 3: of the season, I regret having to read it, but

353
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 3: it was it was a nice thought, and uh, frankly,

354
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 3: is the first seven eight weeks have played out?

355
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: You were?

356
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 2: You were accurate?

357
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 6: Uh?

358
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: From the songs called forward down the Field, Forward down

359
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: the I mean just think about that name, forward down

360
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: the Field?

361
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 2: Who wrote it? Hampton?

362
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 6: Was it?

363
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 2: The other sis? This is why I did not want

364
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 2: to get into this, Like I was, I got.

365
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: Free wings and nachos. How has it got a free

366
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: table from Nick Madden for you and your dog?

367
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 3: So does the Is the punter raffle or something a

368
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 3: special to no problem?

369
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 2: What are you and kitties fans like?

370
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: Actually it's this Jack Fox playing about fourteen inside the

371
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: twenty zero touchbacks.

372
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 2: And by the way, Jack Fox, your punter.

373
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: I know Jack Fox well, he never had He has

374
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,239
Speaker 1: not had a punt blocked in three hundred and sixteen

375
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: in his career, including the playoffs.

376
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 2: He trying to do it right now, Okay, I mean

377
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 2: I think we have Johnny Hecker reincarnate here.

378
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: Four of five passing sixty one yards, all four completions

379
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: have led to first downs. But if that's not enough

380
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: for Jack Fox, he this season he has seven punts

381
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: inside the ten, first in the NFL.

382
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 5: He's a Pro Bowl guy. He's and then the kicker

383
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 5: is unbelievable as well.

384
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 7: And then the special has been a little shape from

385
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 7: distance this year fifty and beyond a little little shaky.

386
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 2: But we we don't we don't kick, we don't believe

387
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 2: in field goals and Detroit, So what's that way to

388
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 2: hit him?

389
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: Boy?

390
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 2: I do have a question. Was well done? This is

391
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 2: a serious question, Sure it does.

392
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 5: Why do you why do you think Brad Holmes and

393
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 5: the Lions have been so good in the draft?

394
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 4: I mean, uh, I think a dedication to taking their guy.

395
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 4: They're obviously they've got a great, great room with scouting.

396
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 4: They they're just they're not afraid to go get their guy,

397
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 4: regardless of and because they've been hammered by position groups

398
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 4: like when they've when they got Gibbs at twelve and

399
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 4: when they got Campbell at eighteen, and they were hammered

400
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 4: for it at the time, and they just they have

401
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 4: a process, they have their board and they're gonna go

402
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 4: get their guy. And you know, and to be honest,

403
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, a lot of it's drafting, but you

404
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 4: got to give a lot of credit to the coaching

405
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 4: staff as well with developing these guys and freely with

406
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 4: these young offensive linemen, and you know they're just they're

407
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 4: dedicated to getting their guy once they've gone through their

408
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 4: process and figured.

409
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 2: Out who their guys are.

410
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,199
Speaker 4: And you know that obviously to the scouts, but they

411
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 4: have a very specific identity and they'll go get them.

412
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 2: See.

413
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: And what I like about Alex's question and your response

414
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: is it's okay people, it's too low hanging of fruit

415
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: for people to be like, when you're that bad for

416
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: that long, this undoubtedly will happen. No, it won't, because

417
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: you can be in the Panay Soul spot, you can

418
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: be in the Mahogany spot, you can be in the

419
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 1: alman Ross Same Brown spot, which everybody skipped on for

420
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: four rounds.

421
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 2: But you got you gotta be right, okay. So Gibbs, yes,

422
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 2: I mean Gibbs was the.

423
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: First round pick, period, but they were like, no, he's

424
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: the No, we're not gonna jack around with this thing.

425
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:09,959
Speaker 1: We're just gonna go up and get whatever you need

426
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: to get him.

427
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 2: Yep, okay. So that that's kind of an outlier.

428
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: But what's not see with alman Ross Saint Brown in

429
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one and Panasoul in twenty twenty one, uh

430
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: Alman Ross Saint Brown goes in the fourth round. Pinasoul

431
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: was the seventh overall pick in the draft. Right, Okay, well,

432
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: there there have been offensive linemen throughout the annals of

433
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 1: time that have been like, Wow, this guy, you can't

434
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: you can't lose with him, absolute stone cold cinch and

435
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: then he's good. But he's Pinaysoul is the best offensive

436
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: lineman in the NFL in my opinion, So you got

437
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: to you gotta be in that spot.

438
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 2: But you got to hit on him too. Yep.

439
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: So now you you fast forward a little bit where

440
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: you get Mahogany in the sixth round of twenty twenty four,

441
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: rat Ledge a second rounder from this year, and uh

442
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: then like Dan Skipper fifth year, oh McNeil, third round.

443
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 2: Ground pick, there we go, hearby Joseph third round pick. Yeah,

444
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 2: some of these third and fourth round picks.

445
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, just turned into cornerstone extended players.

446
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: And brought Derek Barnes fifth round right fourth rounder in

447
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. Okay, but to land the plane here,

448
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: the point is, yes, you can be bad, have a

449
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: lot of picks and hit on most of them, and

450
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: that affords you the opportunity when you get good and

451
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: you start rolling a little bit. Well, now all of

452
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: a sudden, you can mix and match and you can amplify.

453
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 2: It's like Mahogany maybe laid second, early third, but you

454
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 2: know what, three fifths of his skill set fits exactly

455
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 2: what we want to do.

456
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 5: You get him and it works, and you're not spending

457
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 5: your money on free agents who have been let go

458
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 5: by other teams. You are spending money on players you

459
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 5: know really well and who are really talented, which is

460
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 5: the best way to spend your money. And if you're

461
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 5: just buying in free agency at all times, you're literally

462
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 5: you're spending on guys with been hurt, who are older,

463
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 5: who are not extended.

464
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 2: By other teams.

465
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 5: That's why the draft and spending from the players you've

466
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 5: drafted is so sustainable. That's why I asked you the question,

467
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 5: because the success they've had in the draft is if

468
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 5: they continue it, they are outliers completely. But you can't

469
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 5: like argue against what they've done there. It's been unbelievably

470
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 5: impressive and it's built their team.

471
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, and now the challenge, if you want to call

472
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 4: it that, it's it's it's almost an embarrassment of riches.

473
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 4: But now you've got to pay them all right, So

474
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 4: they're they're facing that right now, they're and they're doing

475
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 4: and they're doing a good job of if they're paying

476
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 4: them early, right, And that's the other thing that you

477
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 4: got to do when you when you land the plane.

478
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 2: Now you got to reward those guys. Well, how about that?

479
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 3: Yawn?

480
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 2: It early just like just random Friday news dump. It

481
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 2: almost felt like.

482
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 3: Earlier this week, like oh, no big deal, Aiden Hutchinson

483
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 3: forty five million a year, Yeah, buck eighty and I

484
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 3: think one forty something of it is guaranteed.

485
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 1: Uh.

486
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 3: The way that I mean it's just maybe the most

487
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 3: remarkable thing about your team that I hope loses this

488
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 3: weekend is is it's like twenty four of the last

489
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 3: twenty eight draft picks.

490
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 2: I mean, that's astonishing.

491
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 3: I don't crazy, and I couldn't fathom how that'd be

492
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 3: even remotely sustainable that all the right names are locked

493
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 3: up for the next.

494
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: Three So since we've been talking this thing out, I mean,

495
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say this, and if somebody proved me wrong,

496
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: if they want, I need to find a draft that

497
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: was better than the Lions twenty twenty one draft. I

498
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: mean period. I'm talking the history of the NFL here.

499
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: I mean that that was unbelievable Gibbs and so twenty

500
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: twenty one would have been the Gibbs Draft with Laporta.

501
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: Laporta was saying down twenty twenty one is Sewell, yeah,

502
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: Pil Seul and Ross, Saint Brown, Ali McNeil, Derek Barnes,

503
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 1: Oh goodness, he was part of that. Kirby was twenty

504
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 1: twenty two, Branch was twenty twenty three.

505
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 2: That gives Laporta. Drafts pretty good too, ye oh yeah,

506
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 2: with Campbell and everything. Yeah, gives laport all right, I.

507
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,280

Speaker 1: I'm from Elk River to Monticello to Blaine, to chan

529
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: Hassen to Plymouth.

530
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 2: You know.

531
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: He says, funny how when you get to towns where

532
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: the median income is rather high, they're awfully quiet.

533
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 2: And I'm like, come on, man, that was never so no, no, no, no,

534
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 2: that that's not the case. The team's putting forth.

535
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 5: What I really said, the Friday football feast give me

536
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 5: the energy I need I need during a season like this.

537
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 2: It's it's it's been essential.

538
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's and it's like the fact that people

539
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 5: care as much as they do to show up here

540
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 5: to be at Buffalo wil Wings to listen to the

541
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 5: stuff about this team.

542
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 2: People.

543
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 5: It's people should be proud about it, all right. Yeah,

544
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 5: I'm trying to get get.

545
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 2: Slowing the jumbo game.

546
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: Uh, Sunday with Dan Skipper, old Dan Skipper, maybe even

547
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: tight end Ross Dwelly. You know what they they used

548
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: to have a fullback from Nebraska named Corey Schlessinger. He's

549
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: long retired. Watch him bring him out of retirement, just

550
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: have him roll around with a cane. Why wouldn't you?

551
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 1: I mean Flores talked about it yesterday. I wasn't at

552
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: the press conference, young Allen was, but I mean Flores

553
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,880
Speaker 1: was pressed on the jumbo stuff. Nine the noon started

554
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,719
Speaker 1: pressing on that three week to go. We can talk

555
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: about that later. Uh, slowing the jumbo game? What what

556
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 1: do you think about that?

557
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 2: Yeah?

558
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 5: I mean so much of it for me is just

559
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 5: physicality at the line of scrimmage.

560
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 2: Like I just you just I compared, or I said.

561
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 5: The Chargers went big with two fullbacks Scott Matt Locke

562
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 5: and Tucker Fist, guys who I would trust to like

563
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 5: bring a furnit a couch up to my apartment.

564
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 2: And set it up. But I don't really, They're not

565
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 2: two men in a truck.

566
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 5: That's what it is.

567
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 6: Uh.

568
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 2: And and I just feel like for the Vikings to

569
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 2: stop this, they.

570
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 5: Need to be physical at the point, again I mentioned

571
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 5: Taki tom MANI but I really wouldn't mind seeing him.

572
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 2: You sacrifice some pass rush if you're.

573
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 5: Doing that, but at this point, I'm okay sacrificing a

574
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 5: little pass rush. And then, I mean, the problem that

575
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 5: the Vikings have run into is they've gotten big. Opponents

576
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 5: have gotten big. They run the football and then they

577
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 5: run play action off of it, and the Vikings are

578
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 5: so committed to stopping to run that you can get

579
00:26:59,440 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 5: them in the past.

580
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 2: Seagulls game is a huge example, it is.

581
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 5: And so I just I mean, I don't know, like

582
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 5: they have to prove that they can stop it, and

583
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 5: I want to And then after the fact, I'd like

584
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 5: to go through the film and watch how.

585
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 2: They tried to do that, because until they do.

586
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 5: It, you're gonna see it, especially with teams like the Lions,

587
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 5: who it's.

588
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 2: Part of their bread and butter.

589
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean, you gang up on it, man,

590
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: And that's the play action to uh. To the other

591
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: Alabama gid to Williams over the top.

592
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is now on our side where I tried

593
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 3: to get sneaky, and I'm thinking to myself, I wonder

594
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 3: how big of a loss C. J.

595
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 2: Ham was when he was on IR It is.

596
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 3: He comes back, but still it's classic during during Ko's tenure,

597
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 3: he's elite on special teams, but he plays like twenty

598
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 3: percent of the snatch. Now pass protection plays into that.

599
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 3: To that end, where I was going with this is

600
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 3: Aaron Jones comes back and we just got to see

601
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 3: none of that last Thursday night. We didn't get see

602
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 3: much of anything against the Bulls. What is Aaron Jones

603
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 3: potentially mean in this game? As we've lauded al Quadine

604
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 3: Muhammad and his five sacks and Aiden Hutchinson and Alee

605
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 3: McNeil and all those guys, what does Aaron Jones mean

606
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 3: to JJ McCarthy showing some.

607
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 2: Of that improvement we're looking forward to seeing. Yeah, he's huge.

608
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 5: Aaron Jones is from a pass protection standpoint, because they're

609
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 5: gonna blitz Alexanzeloni and you're gonna need, like I wrote

610
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 5: it in the thing, pass protection from a running back.

611
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 2: It is not a passive thing.

612
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 5: I mean, Aaron Jon's gonna have to step up and

613
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 5: give it to Alex Azeloni and Jack Campbell or there's

614
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 5: gonna be interior pressure in JJ McCartney's face, which is

615
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 5: gonna make him flush out of the pocket, which is

616
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 5: what which is going to create mayhem. So it's huge

617
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 5: for Aaron Jones in that regard. It's also potentially huge

618
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 5: with Aaron Jones in the passing game one on one

619
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 5: against some of these linebackers and coverage like that is

620
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 5: another element. But I will say this, I still don't

621
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 5: understand why besides the fumbles, Jordan Mason is not getting

622
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 5: the ball because when he does in the run game,

623
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 5: he has been efficient. Yeah, and and Kevin O'Connell for

624
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 5: four years now, they have talked about we want to

625
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 5: be in second and five, we want to be ahead

626
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 5: of the sticks, we.

627
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 2: Want to run the football and be efficient.

628
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 5: Jordan Mason has done that this year when he hasn't

629
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 5: fumbled the football.

630
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 2: So I just just don't go away from it like

631
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 2: that's that, you see.

632
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: My only counter to that, and I'm not trying to

633
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: be new Rockney here would be state of offensive line.

634
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: Anytime anybody talks about I don't take anybody seriously with

635
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: running game commentary unless they layer the context for me.

636
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 2: But you have to.

637
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: Okay, but this year, I'm not talking totality of regime.

638
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: I'm talking this year. So I'm just spitballing here that

639
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: with whatever iteration of the offensive line was being used,

640
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: you know, one of those sixteen different offensive line combinations,

641
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: it's been a lot and Mason's and we talked about

642
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: this man either on or off the mic during training camp.

643
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 2: His past protection's average a best, it's not it's not

644
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 2: been great.

645
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: Okay, so now you got two towels, like, hey, you

646
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: got tails, you don't want to have towels.

647
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 5: But it's also when TJ. Hockinson is on the field,

648
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 5: they're likely to throw the football. When Josh Oliver's on the.

649
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 2: Field, they're likely likely to run the football.

650
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 5: But one of the things that I would come back

651
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 5: with that is so, okay, you don't have starting offensive linemen.

652
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 2: That's tough. So the answer, I guess is just a

653
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 2: drop back, which is harder for those guys. Aren't.

654
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: No, I'm not saying they're not running because of the

655
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: offense defensive lineman. I'm saying if they do run, the

656
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: per high percent or the favored percentages, it's not gonna work.

657
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 5: It's gonna make it hard, there's no question. But a

658
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 5: Chargers deep and they were like thirtieth and runs rushing

659
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 5: success rate defensively leading into that game. And in my opinion,

660
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 5: that is where scheme enters the mix. That's where you

661
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 5: gotta get creative. I don't know if it's pulling guys,

662
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's jet sweeps like that.

663
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 2: That's where I can't argue with it.

664
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 5: Just for me, If the answer is, Okay, we don't

665
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 5: have our offensive lineman, so we can't run the football,

666
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 5: so we're just gonna drop back and make it hard

667
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 5: on the offensive lineman we already don't have a ton

668
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 5: of faith, then like that is not a recipe either.

669
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 3: Just it was like average offensive lineman, if I'm gonna

670
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 3: ask him to do two things, yes, hold up against

671
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 3: Aden Hutchinson or push forward in the run game. It

672
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 3: feels like that for the average o' lineman would be better. Now,

673
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 3: I will say, though, the incarnations.

674
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 2: Of this O line make it do make it difficult. Yeah,

675
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 2: you're where Joe.

676
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 3: I'm going to try and ask Joe Huber to pull

677
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 3: and have connection with Brandell and O'Neil on the right,

678
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 3: I'm going to ask them to have some form of

679
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 3: synchronicity that they would never have the chance to build

680
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 3: over the course of practice.

681
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 2: So it's kind of like a damned if it is.

682
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know what, I'm a little bit on

683
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: the other Yeah, I mean with what you're saying, was

684
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: what we just said, I believe to be dead right. However,

685
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: with all due respect to the Minnesota Vikings, five times

686
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: over two games, I don't care if it's Huber, Brandell,

687
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: Jurgens with Fries with Ralphs with with Quessenberry or Todd Stucy,

688
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: I don't care who it is. How About two or

689
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: three times a game we see something where we're in

690
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,239
Speaker 1: the running game where we're like, whoa, hey, okay, who

691
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: knew Joe Hubert can move?

692
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 2: And then maybe they take it away and you can't

693
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 2: do it again.

694
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: That I can see that side of the equation, I guess,

695
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: or or like you could go six offensive line or

696
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: six offensive.

697
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 2: Lineman, can you go a little? I mean, can you

698
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 2: when you're down?

699
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 6: Dude?

700
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 5: It's it's I don't know, maybe you put Walton, but

701
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 5: but it is it is like a to Nordo's point.

702
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 2: This weekend, though, it is kind of a damned if

703
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 2: you do it.

704
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 5: It really is, because if you try to run the

705
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 5: football and it doesn't go well, like I mean, you're

706
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 5: in a tough spot. There's no doubt when you when

707
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 5: the offensive line, and that's really one of the headlines,

708
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 5: if not the headliner of this season. When the offensive

709
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 5: line is as makeshift as it's been, it is not

710
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 5: going to be pretty offensively.

711
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 2: It's just not.

712
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: Alex lewis the Athletic Nordo producer of Nine to Noon,

713
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: and I'm Paul Allen. Our final segment from Beautiful Buffalo

714
00:32:52,240 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: Wild wins. Jan Asen is next on Kapam. I mean,

715
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: they're just coming out of the woodwork right now. I mean,

716
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: well now, granted, Paul Charchian, you know that doesn't do

717
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 1: Vikings fanily.

718
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 2: Oh wow, we got a scold. Here we go.

719
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: Paul Charchian's never done Vikings fan line. Norda has done

720
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: Vikings fan line since Corey tapped out. So I've never heard.

721
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: I've never heard a fan of an opposing team come

722
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: up to a Colosta fan line and not argue but

723
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: go back and forth with some trash talking is what

724
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: we do. And then right before I go all right,

725
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: here we go, and then Devin makes us quote hot

726
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: end quote the Lions fan being like, I'm calling.

727
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 2: I'm calling on Sunday, I'm calling on Sunday. I'm I

728
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 2: call twice.

729
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 3: Man, whether it was it was the guest at eleven

730
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 3: or now we got a call twice, the guys rolling

731
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 3: the packs.

732
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 2: Another kiddies fan rolls up and he's gonna call in.

733
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 3: And you make it sound like the biggest trouble the

734
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 3: Lions have right now is that Dan Campbell can't can't

735
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 3: hammer on Copenhagen during the middle of games anymore, that

736
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 3: this is just the most seamless well oiled machine in

737
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 3: the history.

738
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 2: Of the NFL. And but that's where we're at. Man,

739
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 2: We've been kicked, we're down a little bit, we're three

740
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 2: and four. The opposing team's fans, I'm calling fan line.

741
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 2: After we win, I might call twise just well done.

742
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 2: And that's where we're at.

743
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:33,879
Speaker 3: We got in to play today, We got to show

744
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 3: up this weekend and win or lose. It has to

745
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 3: be a fight that we engage in, that we actually

746
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 3: participate in and and show something that says that there's

747
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 3: still that spark.

748
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,919
Speaker 2: It's kind of the if not now when game maybe

749
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 2: for the Purple.

750
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: Well, I can't go that far against the Lions, but

751
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: I understand what you're saying, they because there still are

752
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: plenty of times where they, if not now win, But

753
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: this right here, it's a divisional game. So I understand

754
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: what you're saying. But we'll see what happens. Your lead

755
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: lede after you, I don't know, for a fifteenth consecutive game.

756
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: Right it was a dark, cold afternoon in Detroit, Michigan

757
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: in a non essential clause a split infinitive, and you

758
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: get to the point, sure, what do you think your

759
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:16,720
Speaker 1: lead's going to be this weekend?

760
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy. Yeah, I mean this is his time, like,

761
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 2: this is the time to show. I don't know why

762
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 2: you're laughing. He does this show. He's got ten games.

763
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,920

Speaker 2: That he can stay healthy, He that he can be

766
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 2: accurate after he that he can get the ball out

767
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 2: of his hands. If he does that, then if I

768
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,080
