Unfortunately, 16 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 6: the Vikings are gonna be worse next year than they 17 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 6: were this year. Harry, the hit man's gone, maybe Flora's gone. 18 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 6: Maybe he's here, but the defense is gonna be worse. 19 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 6: The quarterback can't stay on the field unless they make 20 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 6: a big move. This team is doomed. Terrible fans, terrible city, 21 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 6: in a terrible stadium. 22 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 3: Skull. 23 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,759 Speaker 1: That's awful negative, it's very negative. 24 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the hit man has done so. They 25 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 3: pulled him out of the game. I guess you know, 26 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 3: it's one of those things. Once you get a few 27 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 3: weeks removed, all of a sudden, otis come up, training 28 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 3: camp comes up, you start getting the hitch again. Right, 29 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 3: It's possible he could come back, but it sort of 30 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 3: looks like Harry's done. So they called a special time 31 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 3: out and he even had the guy in outs time 32 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 3: out Vikings first a call time on whatever they say, 33 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,119 Speaker 3: and then he said to honor Harrison Smith, Harrison Smith, 34 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 3: tend be your thoughts. 35 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: Why would he want to come back? Tell me the reason. 36 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 2: Because at this stage of his career, at this stage 37 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 2: of his career, the only reason he would come back, 38 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 2: given his age, his experience, is to win a big game. Now, 39 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 2: he would have to have a relief, a reason to believe. 40 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 2: That's why I think he came back this year because 41 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 2: they're coming off at thirteen and four season. So I said, hey, 42 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 2: let's do one more kick at the camp because we 43 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 2: got a chance to win. We had a good team 44 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 2: last year. Yeah, now after this season, why would you 45 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 2: come back again and go through another seven eight nine 46 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 2: wins season? 47 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 3: Yeah? 48 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: So ye, unless they made some. 49 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,239 Speaker 2: Like I said, a Joe Burrow type move that would 50 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 2: go make him go, oh, maybe I do want to 51 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 2: play here. 52 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: I don't see it. CJ. 53 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 3: Ham he played his last game. Apparently that was a 54 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 3: nice touch. Nobody even knew about it. No, that was 55 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 3: a nice touch that well Connell let him carry I 56 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 3: get a toddy there, you know, hand the football, let 57 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 3: them get a toddy, kept the football, had the pictures taken. 58 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 3: Pretty cool thing. He was a quality player, right, I mean, 59 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 3: not many fullbacks left the league. I think there's like 60 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 3: four in the league. Nobody carries one anymore. So there 61 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 3: you go. Let's take another one here. 62 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: It was a good special teams player too. 63 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 7: Yes, here's the hot take Koc's two Coach of the 64 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 7: Year awards or not because of the offense, keep Flores 65 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 7: as the head coach and trade KOC might be able 66 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 7: to get a little. 67 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 3: Something for him because I'm assuming the market is hot 68 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 3: for him. Where did he find that second Coach of 69 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 3: the year war? I think he only won one near? 70 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: Did he win to the fancy one too? 71 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 3: Yeah? 72 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: The kiss you just won one. 73 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 2: I will tell you. I don't know how much you 74 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 2: can get for him. Didn't when Gruden was traded? Were 75 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 2: they giving a multiple first round picks for him. 76 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 3: Oh it was a boatload. 77 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 4: Yeah. 78 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: I mean if you can do something like that. 79 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 2: For a tin that's kind of stuck, that's a way 80 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 2: to kind of get out of it a little bit. 81 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 2: If you think b Flow can be the guy, I'm 82 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 2: not completely against that. 83 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 3: Hold on. 84 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: Now for to eactly, I have someone else make the 85 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: draft picks though that we're gonna get in return. 86 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 3: Team needs a lot of help. There was a piece 87 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 3: and I saved that. We'll look at it sometime this week, 88 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 3: I mean in upcoming weeks. I don't remember if it 89 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 3: was Athletic or one of the fishcrafts, but they were. 90 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 3: We we we before I want a vacation. We we 91 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 3: took a look at at a couple of paragraphs about 92 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 3: Viking's got a lot to do. I mean, there's there 93 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 3: are players they need to decide if they want to 94 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 3: bring them back. There there's money. For instance, let's go 95 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 3: with Hawkinson. Did I read this right? Is he he 96 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 3: couldn't be possibly you know, you know money, you know, 97 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 3: if if they just said, hey, we'd love to have 98 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 3: you back under the current contract. Did I read it right? 99 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 3: Is he like owed twenty one million dollars if they 100 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 3: don't now, right, But I'm just saying that's one of 101 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 3: the problems they have to do is they have to 102 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 3: go to him. Now, you could say it'stropping to the 103 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 3: problem because he's got to agree to that, and I'm 104 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 3: sure he will, but that's one that's a bookkeeping there. 105 00:05:59,000 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 3: I mean, you have to take care of You got 106 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 3: to say Hawk, we love you, want you to come 107 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 3: back again, we can't pay you twenty one million, and 108 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 3: he'll go, I know, what do you have for me? 109 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 3: Then you got to do some kind of negotiation there, 110 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 3: and like and the Mikes aren't a loan there. There 111 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 3: are teams all across the league that have situations in 112 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 3: which they have players that they it may not have 113 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 3: been overpaying them at the time, but as their contracts 114 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 3: get further along, in a lot of cases, more money 115 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 3: is owed and then all of a sudden, it's like, 116 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 3: we can't afford to pay you that kind of money. 117 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 3: So we got those decisions to make. 118 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 2: He will have a capit of twenty one point three 119 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 2: five five million this year or this upcoming season twenty 120 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 2: twenty six. There is a potential out this year that 121 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 2: would create twelve point four six y five and dead cap, 122 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 2: so you'd still you're basically saving nine million dollars against 123 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 2: the cap if you cut them this year. 124 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 3: He's good, but. 125 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 2: As Ben Labor brought up this morning on the Power Trip, 126 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 2: there's a reason he didn't play yesterday because the Vikings 127 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 2: didn't want him to get hurt. And then you're committed 128 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 2: to him. Yeah, that's why I didn't play. Oh really well, yeah, 129 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 2: I mean if he had like an injury of some 130 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 2: sort where. Now he's now he's on the books for 131 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 2: next year and ye're, oh, right, now, you can't get 132 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 2: out of that contract. So that doesn't mean he's not 133 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 2: going to play here next year. Right, something's happening with 134 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 2: this contract. He's either getting let go or their restructure. 135 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 3: And you'll remember that was a situation when they were 136 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 3: the Vikings weren't a good spot as Cousins was still 137 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 3: the QB and they thought I think they sort of 138 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,679 Speaker 3: felt maybe they weren't a tight end away from winning 139 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 3: the whole thing, but they knew that was a spot, 140 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 3: and they traded with Detroit and they had to give 141 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 3: up a second and a third to get him, So 142 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 3: they gave up quite a bit of draft capital to 143 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 3: get Hawkinson. And he's he's been fine, he's been fine, 144 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 3: but I don't know if he's worth a second and 145 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 3: a third. And he doesn't seem to be the best 146 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 3: at yards after catch, you know. So yeah, and then 147 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 3: again the listen, like I said, well, we'll we'll dig 148 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 3: into it as as the next days and weeks come up. 149 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 3: But there's plenty of decisions the franchise have to make 150 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 3: with their personnel about who they want to keep, who 151 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 3: they want to restructure, because there's and you know, and 152 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 3: then and that's on top of do we have the 153 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 3: quarterback or do we not? So let's take another listen 154 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 3: to another talk back here. I saw a couple with 155 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 3: swear words, and I gotta be careful and just be 156 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 3: ready to be ready on this, which I don't think 157 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 3: this is one because I can read them ahead of time. 158 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 3: Let's see who this one says. 159 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 8: I don't think giving up on JJ McCarthy is the 160 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,719 Speaker 8: correct approach. However, chall ranging either the GM or the 161 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 8: head coach to go into a season with this roster 162 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 8: with that quarterback plan is definitely worthy of criticism and 163 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 8: possibly even employment if it was by the GM. 164 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 3: I think that is a total swing in a miss 165 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 3: your thoughts, Jane, what. 166 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 2: It was hard for us to kind of evaluate JJ 167 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 2: McCarthy going into the season, right like we were just 168 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 2: all going off of hopium and the little we've seen. 169 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 2: So I think it as someone who didn't hasn't spent 170 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 2: hours and hours watching him on tape and having him 171 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,839 Speaker 2: in the building and knowing who what he's about. I 172 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 2: didn't mind the plan to go with JJ McCarthy at 173 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 2: the time because I just I assumed the quarterback whisperer 174 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 2: knew what he was doing and thought, hey, this guy's 175 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 2: far enough along. They handpicked this guy in the first 176 00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:00,719 Speaker 2: round of the draft. I picked number ten, assumed that 177 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 2: the head coach and that staff would have known that 178 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 2: he was a certain part along in his progression that 179 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 2: we would have been fined, And clearly I was wrong 180 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 2: in that diagnosis. 181 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, what I've said all along is I think 182 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 3: I do think macarth O'Connell he doesn't know he can 183 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 3: coach up kids and make them better quarterbacks. But because 184 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 3: of you know, past or not came in and played 185 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 3: real well, then it was the darnel thing obviously, And 186 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 3: then there are people that want to say cousins having 187 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 3: was off to one of his best years ever. Under O'Connell. 188 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 3: I almost think he was being idolized and pedestalized by 189 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 3: the National Football League at large, people that play in 190 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 3: the league, coaching the league, work in the league, media 191 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 3: members that he's the quarterback whisper guy, And you start 192 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 3: believing that stuff, and you convince yourself if I were 193 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 3: coming off of fourteen and three season, what we were 194 00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:00,199 Speaker 3: missing was interior production in the offensive line, and we 195 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 3: weren't getting enough of pass rush from the interior of 196 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,319 Speaker 3: the defensive line. Well, let's get free agents, plug them in, 197 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 3: and we can play with McCarthy and win enough games. 198 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 3: We can coach him up and the defense will be strong. 199 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: We'll still be in it. 200 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 3: Totally unravel it didn't work at all. Now again, there 201 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 3: are people pointing to those last five wins, But as 202 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 3: you and I talked about, playing against terrible teams in 203 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 3: terrible cities with terrible fans, without not allowed out at state, 204 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 3: not as much pressures. It's a whole different ballgame. Well 205 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 3: break come back with more.

We've got some, 214 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 3: We've got some really good talkbacks. Then let me see 215 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 3: if I have this one right now again. It was 216 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 3: one the one with that that had a naughty word 217 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 3: and it was actually sent to the Paul Island Project. 218 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: I think something it was bitter with h Ducky and 219 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: Bunny Radio today. 220 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 9: I think. 221 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 3: Let's go to this one. 222 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 10: Hey, good afternoon, guys, Mitchell from South St. 223 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 5: Paul. 224 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,719 Speaker 10: So this is the way the quarterback situation went down. 225 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 10: Kevin O'Connell knew that JJ McCarthy needed at least one 226 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 10: more year of development and for either Aaron Rodgers or 227 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 10: to keep Sam Darnold. But the ownership and or Quescy 228 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 10: told him no, so that he was forced to deal with, 229 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 10: you know, JJ McCarthy, And that's why they brought in 230 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 10: Carson Wentz at the very last minute. Because mccar or 231 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 10: because Kevin O'Connell knew deep down that JJ needed more 232 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 10: time to develop. That's how it went down, and he 233 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 10: was stuck with him. So we'll see what happens next year. 234 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: That's not a bad theory. 235 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 3: I don't believe it. I don't believe it for a minute. Well, 236 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 3: I guess I shouldn't say, shouldn't say I don't believe 237 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 3: it for a minute. That certainly could have That's what 238 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 3: we don't know. After last year's lost to the Rams, 239 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 3: twenty minutes after the game, the head coach stood at 240 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 3: the podium and said, we need to rebuild the middle 241 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 3: of our offensive line because he saw a four just 242 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 3: a four man rush. I don't think the Rams blitzed 243 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 3: once in that playoff game, and they sat Donald nine times. 244 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 3: I believe in that player nine sacks. A sack or 245 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 3: two could have been on Donald. Didn't release the ball 246 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 3: in time, should have thrown the ball away. Whatever the 247 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 3: case means. We know the Detroit game was a disaster. 248 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 3: He was terrible in that game. He got a bad 249 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 3: case of the jitters. You want to say a choke, Yeah, okay, 250 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 3: he did played better in the Rams game. I thought 251 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 3: it that was the offensive line. So I don't know 252 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 3: if the coach when he said they needed to rebuild 253 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 3: the middle of the offensive line, if he would have 254 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 3: liked to have Darnald back. I think you and I 255 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 3: have talked about this tenv The ideal situations to have 256 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 3: a quarterback instantly be pretty darn good in his rookie deal, 257 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 3: so that you have five season well fourth, yeah, after 258 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 3: four you after we negotiate, you can have four quality 259 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 3: seasons of a guy that's making peanuts in NFL money, right, 260 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 3: So the that's ideally what you would like to do. 261 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 11: I do. 262 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 3: I don't know that the Rogers thing, I don't know 263 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 3: if he wanted him back or not. I I don't 264 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 3: know if Quazy's got the final word. I guess on 265 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 3: signing anybody, right. Is it possible that Koc said I 266 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 3: really want Sam Donald back and Quaysey said, we've drafted McCarthy. 267 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 3: We don't want to sign Sam Donald. That's why we 268 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 3: drafted McCarthy. We want nothing to do with him. Then 269 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 3: Rogers comes to town, or at least they had a conversation, 270 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 3: and then you say, does Koc say i'd like to 271 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 3: sign let's let's bring Rogers in for a year and 272 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 3: says we're not doing that either, and then how much 273 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 3: do the wolves have to say about this? 274 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 9: See? 275 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 3: And that's what I don't know. None of us know 276 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 3: for sure what happens inside. I don't even think the 277 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 3: National Treasure knows as tight as he is with him 278 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 3: of how those decisions are made to do. Do the 279 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 3: Wilf brothers, Quazy and O'Connell all I'll sit down in 280 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 3: the same room and talk things over. Do they talk individually? 281 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 3: I don't know. Are they all on the same page. 282 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 3: Obviously the final say goes with the owners, right, but 283 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 3: they might just say, you guys make the call. We're 284 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 3: with you either way, So then it would come down 285 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 3: to quazing O'Connell. My sources told me that one of 286 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 3: the stipulations for O'Connell to sign an extension was he 287 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 3: wanted more say in personnel decisions. I don't know if 288 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 3: that's a fact or not. I don't know. I'm just 289 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 3: throwing it out there, and I've heard it from more 290 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 3: than one source. So is it fifty to fifty on 291 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 3: that now, I don't know, and I don't think any 292 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 3: of us know for sure. Who I do think the 293 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 3: head coach feels he can coach um and he can. 294 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 3: I'm not even suggesting he can't. But did he bite 295 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 3: off more than he can show with McCarthy? Did he 296 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 3: say I can mold this guy and I can get 297 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 3: him playing, just like almost, just like that not a 298 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 3: problem you want? 299 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 2: You want to know why we don't have those answers, 300 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 2: because it just mean there's Crazy talk to the media 301 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 2: less than anybody. 302 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't hear him talk often, right, like he'll 303 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 3: do like the. 304 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll hear from him this week at a 305 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 2: press conference, but the vast majority of the other twelve months. 306 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 2: And maybe I'm just comparing to Rix Spielman, who would 307 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 2: make many more appearances. It seems like whenever Crazy does talk, 308 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 2: it's the PA. But to like the general media, I 309 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 2: feel like we don't hear from him very often, and 310 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 2: I wonder where that is. 311 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,400 Speaker 3: The Vikers have played some pretty bad teams as of late. Yeah, 312 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 3: like the Lions who are in last went from fifteen 313 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 3: to two to our same record. 314 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 1: M got you on that one. 315 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 3: I love the people that do that because see, he 316 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 3: takes his football more serious than I do. One of 317 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,159 Speaker 3: the sales guys, Clayton, said, who do you think in 318 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 3: a more disappointing season because as I went to go 319 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 3: get a cup of coffee, we have a coffee area 320 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 3: over there now by the sales, and I heard him say, 321 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 3: he goes, and if if the starting quarterback can just 322 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 3: stay healthy, stot about Well, guy, I laughed out lot, 323 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 3: I get him go and he goes. Who do you 324 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 3: think I had a more disappointing season. I'd say the 325 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 3: Lions had a more disappointing season. Absolutely. They were fifteen 326 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 3: and two last year, right had the number one seed 327 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 3: and laid an egg against Washington. They got the first 328 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 3: round by and this year they were bringing pretty much 329 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 3: everybody back except for the center, and that ended up 330 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 3: being more important than we thought. But so so you 331 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 3: have a different offensive coordinator, so you have a different Yeah, 332 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 3: I expected the lines to be really good. 333 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 2: Again, they had a disappointment, more disappointing season in terms 334 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 2: of results, But I don't think they had a more 335 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 2: disappointing season in terms of how I'd feel about the 336 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 2: franchise moving forward. Yeah, I feel like the Viking season 337 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 2: is a bigger blow to the gut, a bigger punch 338 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 2: to the gut of man. We may not have the 339 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 2: answers I can still look at Detroit and go the 340 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 2: course still there if they're healthy, Yep, they'll have a 341 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 2: second year with their coordinators. Like I can easily see 342 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 2: that team being a contender again next year, whereas the Vikings, 343 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 2: barring some massive jump from JJ McCarthy, it's hard to 344 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 2: believe they're going to make a big jump. 345 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, and. 346 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: Over the next two three four years. 347 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, I don't think Detroit will come back with 348 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 3: the same offensive coordinator because if you remember them, Yeah, 349 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 3: John Morton came from Denver I think and was it 350 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 3: six seven eight weeks six seven weeks into the season, 351 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 3: Danny Campbell took over the play calling, which didn't go 352 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 3: very well either. Here's where I've all along thought, players play, 353 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 3: coaches coach, and the players are way more important than 354 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 3: the coaching staff. I still think they're more important, but 355 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 3: I've also learned just from Detroit, it appears to me 356 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,719 Speaker 3: that coordinators make a bigger difference in a flex Look 357 00:19:58,720 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 3: what Ben Johnson has done as his head go. 358 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 2: I think with Detroit too. It's also offensive line means 359 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,719 Speaker 2: a lot. Yeah, right, they've they've been They've had an 360 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 2: elite offensive line over the last couple of years. And 361 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 2: it was a little bit decimated this year. Yeah, well 362 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 2: they were, and they were playing with two rookies that 363 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 2: they like them. Now, those guys were drafted to eventually play. 364 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 3: I just don't think the Lion's new for sure that 365 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 3: their center was going to retire, and they didn't think 366 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 3: they'd lose Zeitler to free agency. 367 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: And reg now return. 368 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's take another one. 369 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 5: Common Tenna Nord East guy here. I think we run 370 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 5: it back with McCarthy next year. See what he's got. 371 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: Probably don't bring in a veteran for a. 372 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 5: QB competition because if he sucks gets hurt, let's try 373 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 5: to bottom out. This Next year's quarterback class is stacked, 374 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 5: including arch Manning. 375 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: Who I think would look really good in purple. Let 376 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: me know your thoughts. 377 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 3: Is not this year, but is the following year? Is 378 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 3: that a stacked draft quarterbacks? 379 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: Arch Maning didn't have a great year today? 380 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 12: Yeah? 381 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 3: Well no, well I think he played better later. Early 382 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 3: he was terrible. Yeah, but I think he did play 383 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 3: better after that. Do we know what any is? 384 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: I don't follow the I thought I heard this upcoming 385 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: year isn't that great? 386 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 3: This year is not good. But he's talking about the following, 387 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 3: So we bring McCarthy. His idea is bring McCarthy back. 388 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 3: Let's rerun that again. See what happens if we know 389 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 3: he doesn't have it. Let's not have a veteran that 390 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 3: might win us some meaningless games again and get to 391 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 3: nine and eight. If we know McCarthy, If let's say 392 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,439 Speaker 3: five six weeks and McCarthy's where he is now, we're 393 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 3: actually regresses, Well then you probably say we made a mistake. 394 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 3: Let's get another guy. So we do the passive tanking, 395 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 3: which I don't know if Connell has in him, but 396 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 3: you go to the passive tanking and get back near 397 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,400 Speaker 3: the top of the draft in the experienced guy. One 398 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 3: last segment to go. We'll talk a little of this, 399 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 3: a little of that, with the emphasis on the lad 400 00:21:53,480 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 3: here in the Common Man program on the fan looking 401 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 3: for more fun than a barrel of monkeys, Well I 402 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 3: got the answer for you. Flop, Sweat and Tears, Petty 403 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 3: Theft to her two shows coming up Rock. We'll give 404 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 3: away tickets lay Boy and the next week or so 405 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 3: when we get closer to the date, but tickets are available, 406 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 3: ticket sales have been It's the word I would use moribund, 407 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 3: but now they then they went to tepid, and I 408 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 3: wouldn't say it's brisk. Is there a word between teppe 409 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 3: and brisk, because brisk would mean they're kind of hey, 410 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 3: they're really selling. Tepid means do I really want to 411 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 3: buy one or not? So there's somewhere between there. We're 412 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 3: at the Eagles Club in Rochester. They said I would 413 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 3: never work the Eagles Club in Rochester, so I'm getting 414 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 3: the last laugh there. Tickets available at commonman book dot com, 415 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 3: Commonman book dot com. And then we're doing a show 416 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 3: at the legendary Kato ballroomhere Buddy Holly and the Crickets 417 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:14,640 Speaker 3: once played.

And so those will 423 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 3: probably be the only two Petty Theft Tour show. So 424 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 3: if you want to see us, were you better better, 425 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 3: get better get your tickets. Now here's another one. 426 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: Tennabee Pa Nordal. 427 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 13: What's going on? 428 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: Guys? 429 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 13: Hey, we got all this quarterback talk going on, but 430 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 13: I'm feeling like the bigger problem is kind of being 431 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 13: overlooked here with that offensive line. What do we have 432 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 13: twenty nine different change ups this year? And I understand 433 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 13: it had to do with injury, but I feel like, 434 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 13: no matter who's back there, they're not going to be 435 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 13: accurate if they're constantly running for your life. 436 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: Thanks guys. 437 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 13: Jim from Cottage Growth. 438 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,479 Speaker 3: Jim from Cottage Grove, my neck of the woods. I mean, 439 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 3: he makes some sense. And there were a lot of 440 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 3: injury issues on the offensive the left tackle. You know, 441 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 3: you know it's how many I know how many story? Yeah? 442 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 3: How many times am I going to hear? You know 443 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,360 Speaker 3: what Bud Grant once said? We know what he said. Yeah, 444 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,199 Speaker 3: if you can't play, you're no good to the team. Right, 445 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 3: If you can't be on the field, you're not doing 446 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 3: anybody available, Yeah or Dura, whichever one you want to use. 447 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 3: And he's had some some injury issues the left What 448 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 3: do we think of the left guard? Was this his 449 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 3: rookie season? Is a Jackson right? 450 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 11: Yeah? 451 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, so he might be Yeah, there's a nice piece 452 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 3: our starter our center. We ended up going with a 453 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,439 Speaker 3: Brandle right most of the time because the other guy 454 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 3: was concussion injury? Was it Ryan Kelly? He's and I 455 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 3: don't he's not coming back right that. That's they're not 456 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 3: going to bring him. 457 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: He shouldn't play an Yeah. 458 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 3: He shouldn't play anymore. So, I don't know if bran 459 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,120 Speaker 3: Dell looks like a guy that can be a mainstay 460 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 3: at center and be one of those guys you can 461 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 3: count on. O'Neil played hurt a lot again this year. 462 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 3: He's he's good, we know that. And then who is 463 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 3: our right price Fries and he was okay, So yeah, 464 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 3: I would say it's a big discussion around the left 465 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 3: tackle though, because he was. 466 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 2: I mean, he kind of left the team out to 467 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 2: dry this year, the amount of times he couldn't play 468 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 2: or the amount of times he was on a pitch 469 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 2: count during games. Remember when they were across the pond 470 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 2: and like he's pulling himself and we're down in the 471 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 2: fourth quarter. Yeah, you know, And I heard Ben Leeb 472 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 2: going going after J. J. McCarthy today about, you know, 473 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,400 Speaker 2: pulling himself in the middle of that game yesterday. I'm thinking, 474 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 2: what about the left tackle. He was he was on 475 00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:02,919 Speaker 2: a self imposed pitch count, so Liban and that's an 476 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 2: issue moving forward. 477 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 3: So liber went with the He wasn't thrilled with the 478 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 3: quarterback pulling himself out of the I guess I just 479 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 3: see things so differently than than than than other people. 480 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 3: I didn't have a problem with that. If if it's 481 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 3: his left hand, okay, yeah, you got to play. You 482 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 3: got of course it's his right hand. Great, his hand 483 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 3: was so bad the game before you saw it. He 484 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 3: couldn't get when he fumbled that ball on the scoop 485 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 3: and score? Was that two games ago? Was that the 486 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:36,919 Speaker 3: game games ago? 487 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 1: Well did they give up a scoop and score against 488 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: the Giants? 489 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 3: Yeah? I think yeah, just by Yeah, Yeah, you're right. 490 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,640 Speaker 3: That ball wasn't knocked out of his hand. He couldn't 491 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,880 Speaker 3: grip the football. If if he claims he couldn't grip 492 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 3: the football again, why would you play him. A quarterback's 493 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 3: got to be able to grip them. So is he 494 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 3: supposed to just go in there play with the pain 495 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 3: to show he's a tough guy. But he can't grip 496 00:26:59,040 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 3: the ball and throw it? 497 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 11: What? 498 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 5: What? 499 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 11: What? What? 500 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 3: How does that make any sense at all? And it's 501 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,640 Speaker 3: not like weren't a wild card playoff game or we're 502 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 3: fighting for a chance to get into the playoffs. There's enough. 503 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,920 Speaker 3: There was zero at stake yesterday for the Vikings or 504 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 3: the Packers. That's why I was such a bad game. 505 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 3: Had you watched a more, that's. 506 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 2: One even if they were playing for the playoffs. If 507 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,160 Speaker 2: Max Brosmer gives you a better chance to win because 508 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 2: you can't hold on to a football, he should pull yourself. 509 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 3: Didn't They do the exact same thing with wins. They said, well, 510 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 3: he gives us a better chance to win with a 511 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 3: with a shattered socket more than a guy with a 512 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 3: bomb ankle. 513 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 1: He should have pulled himself. Well, the coaching STAPs should 514 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: have pulled them in that one. 515 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, but there was a guy who was playing, and 516 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 3: I don't think he gave the Vikings a better chance 517 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 3: to win when when when he was in that kind 518 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 3: of pain. But maybe, maybe, maybe maybe he did. I 519 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 3: don't know what. Yeah, I don't. I don't think pulling 520 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,640 Speaker 3: him out of the game, pulling himself out of the game. 521 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 3: I don't have a problem with it. 522 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 2: I have a lot of other issues with J. J. McCarthy. 523 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:58,199 Speaker 2: Dead is that one of them. 524 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's the same with me. I tend to 525 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 3: agree with you there, but I had. 526 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 2: I had more issues with Christian Darisaw this year in 527 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,719 Speaker 2: the way he, like I said, I mean, how many 528 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 2: times early in the season was practicing half the time 529 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 2: and then not practicing and then he won't play, and 530 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 2: then he then he'd get in games and he was 531 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 2: on his own pitch count, and then he wasn't playing. 532 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 2: Then he went like, that's more The way he played 533 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 2: the season with that injury was more concerning than what 534 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 2: JJ and I get. JJ is the leader of the 535 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 2: team given his position. 536 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 11: But happy new year, gentleman, JD Florence, Texas. Our biggest 537 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 11: priority in this offseason is offensive line. Two A veteran quarterback, 538 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 11: JJ is definitely not the answer. We need to replace 539 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 11: CJ with another good full back and Harry the hit man. 540 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 11: We need an upgrade back there because he'll be gone. 541 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: That's my take. Let's hook this GM a head coach. 542 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 3: He ran out of time. 543 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: They only got thirty seconds. 544 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I replacing it man will be tough. 545 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 2: He was just kind of okay this year though to 546 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 2: the very end, though, like I, this wasn't the old 547 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 2: Harrison Smith no other two games ago. 548 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: It's Detroit. Yeah, there were a number of people that 549 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: I think the bying them departure hurt more than. 550 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 4: We know. 551 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 3: Are secondaries Just okay, right, b flow does works and 552 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:47,479 Speaker 3: wonders And look at Van Ginkel Grenard, who's our guy 553 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 3: from Prior Lake, No, I mean from uh Eton Prairie 554 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 3: cashing cash and cash out. Those guys are good players. 555 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 3: There's they have talent on the defense. Turner seems to 556 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 3: be getting better, right, he's making some progress or not? 557 00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 4: Or do you not? 558 00:29:58,760 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: No second half to see? 559 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, thought he was pretty good the second half of 560 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 2: the season, and he might make Grenard or Van Inkle 561 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 2: be expendable this offseason if you're looking to save money somewhere. 562 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 2: I'm not convinced that Jonathan Garnard is gonna be on 563 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 2: this team next year. By the way, if you want 564 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 2: to play the game of where we need to get 565 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 2: better at every year, we're going to the draft and 566 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 2: we go we have a need at cornerback, we have 567 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 2: a needed offensive line. It's I mean, you're gonna go 568 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 2: ten deep on what your needs are for this year. Yeah, 569 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 2: So I will say it like I always say it Now, 570 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 2: it's easier to say, now that we're gonna have so 571 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 2: many needs, just pick a player who could be an 572 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 2: impact player. I don't care what position they are. Draft 573 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 2: for impact, don't draft for no because you need alone. Technically, 574 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 2: you could say quarterback, running back, tight end, one or 575 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 2: two offensive linemen in tier, defensive lineman, cornerback, safeties. 576 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: I mean you can go on and on and on 577 00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: for what they have needs. 578 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 3: At sure they were close. Can you see three defensive lineman, 579 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 3: three linebackers, four defensive backs, three offensive linemen, a couple 580 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 3: of running backs in the starting quarterback, and then we're ready? 581 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 3: Are you? I think maybe you're onesome? 582 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 14: Good morning, Pa, Dave morehead calling. Start with management. I 583 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 14: think Casey needs another year to see what he can 584 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 14: do for us improve on what we did last year. 585 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 14: Kevin O'Connell's a great head coach, but I do not 586 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 14: think he's a good offensive coordinator. I think we need 587 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 14: to get one of those, and hopefully Brian Flores did 588 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,239 Speaker 14: not go anywhere. He's awesome quarterback wise, we do need 589 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 14: a veteran to show McCarthy the way. 590 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 1: Thank you, well we had we could have had him. 591 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 2: We could have had Aaron, I want, I want Tom. 592 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 2: Can you explain to me the we need a veteran 593 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 2: quarterback to show him the way? Because our head coach 594 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 2: is a former quarterback in the league, our quarterbacks coach 595 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 2: is a former quarterback in the league. Why do we 596 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 2: need someone else to come in and because those two 597 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 2: can't show them the way? 598 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 3: I can't answer that. I know what you're saying. I 599 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 3: agree with you. Why can't let's go ahead and do it? 600 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 4: Warren, you're on the fan, Well, something are called that 601 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 4: staray on the money because you know I brought it 602 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 4: up from the game of the season. The Vikings gave 603 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 4: away this is what they gave away. They gave away Bradbury, 604 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 4: they gave away Cleveland, they gave away uh Verderian Law 605 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 4: who's starting. They gave away Ingram, and they gave away 606 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 4: another guy. You got guys that were high draft choices. 607 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 4: They got nothing for. If they would have had that 608 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 4: group of guys here, they would have had the lowest 609 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 4: They would have been sacked fewer times than anybody in 610 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 4: the NFL. Don't make any mistake about it, Bradbury is 611 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 4: the best offensive lineman in the league. And it didn't 612 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 4: even quote and that Venerian Low in his third year 613 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 4: is better than anybody they got on that line. The 614 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 4: quarterback situation, I think would be real easy to solve. 615 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 4: I would go to Canada. I would get the best 616 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 4: possible quarterback. These guys up in Canada can throw for 617 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 4: five thousand yardsdown. 618 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, give me a name of one of those. 619 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 3: I know, Joe, one of them. 620 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 9: One of them is. 621 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 4: One of them is Mitchell, Scott Mitchell. Uh, these guys 622 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 4: have knowmes and the last name is Mitchell. But if 623 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 4: these guys have won championships, some of these guys have 624 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 4: thrown for forty five thousand yards some of them between 625 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 4: this is this is the way that this is the 626 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,239 Speaker 4: way to do it. One of the guys that let 627 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 4: go Kyle Hinton. Guys three hundred and twenty pounds can 628 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 4: run like a running back. If you put a guy 629 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 4: like that in the backfield, and you know what you 630 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 4: tell that guy, you said, we're gonna go defensive line hunting. 631 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 4: Because if you have a guy like that who can 632 00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 4: touch the ball, that's three twenty and they had him, 633 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 4: they never used him. Land has been using him. He's 634 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 4: been great. You get a guy like that who touched 635 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 4: the ball and you don't tell that guy. But if 636 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 4: there's a defensive lineman coming into our backfield, you're a 637 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,879 Speaker 4: gun for him because he will knock you. He'll knock 638 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 4: you out. These are the guys at the Vikings. Let 639 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,280 Speaker 4: go of and you think number one reason. 640 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,320 Speaker 3: You think we're okay with what you think we're okay 641 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 3: with McCarthy, we just need a better offensive line. 642 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 4: Well here here is all you got to do. I'll 643 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 4: tell you what. Go Look at the Detroit game. Brosner 644 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 4: had absolutely no time to throw the football. 645 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 9: They don't. 646 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 4: Here's the difference between why Bradbury is successful in Darian 647 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 4: law and uh, your analysts one percent when you review this. 648 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 4: When they came out, they do a lot of cut, 649 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 4: chopped locket. Yes, they open holes up and you know 650 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,759 Speaker 4: the quarterbacks Newing one said, you know what between him 651 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 4: and though they goes, I love you guys because you 652 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 4: protect me. He hasn't given up a sack, hasn't had 653 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,840 Speaker 4: a penalty, given up four hits. Take a look at 654 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 4: what happened to our quarterback early in the year, thinking 655 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:05,719 Speaker 4: nobody would have survived that. 656 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 3: Thanks war, I appreciate that more things that if Bradbury's 657 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 3: on the club. We're in the big game or close? 658 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: Did he call him the best offensive lineman in football 659 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 1: Pro football? 660 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 5: Uh? 661 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 1: Wasn't he trying to move him to tight end like 662 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 1: two years ago? 663 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 13: He was? 664 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 3: He said he should have been our tight end. 665 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:26,239 Speaker 1: Good thing they didn't listen to him. 666 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:26,440 Speaker 5: Huh. 667 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, here's a phone call from Hank. Hank, you're on 668 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,400 Speaker 3: the fan, thanks for calling here on a purple Monday. 669 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 12: Yay, thank you, guys. I just comment, I just think 670 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 12: JJ is too immature. I mean, I understand he pulled himself, 671 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:41,800 Speaker 12: but I don't agree with that. But I mean, I 672 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 12: get it if you can't hang out on the ball. 673 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 12: But what upsets me is first half, he's trying to 674 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 12: be mister tough guy and pick a fight with the guy, 675 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,839 Speaker 12: putting his shoulder down and blocking them out and out 676 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,919 Speaker 12: of bounds. I mean, what's he doing quarterback? And he's 677 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,720 Speaker 12: prone to get hurt. That was just foolish. 678 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks, Hank appreciated. That's what going to bed. Yeah 679 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 3: you said that to anything. 680 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 2: He took them out of that drive too. They had 681 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 2: a good drive, nice drive going, Yeah, and they had 682 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 2: to settle for three because of his penalty. 683 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 3: I would that's one of those who was who do 684 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 3: we always joke about easily correctable? Who said that was 685 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 3: that total system failure? 686 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:17,319 Speaker 11: Oh? 687 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:17,839 Speaker 3: That was the poll. 688 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:18,760 Speaker 1: That was the Twins. 689 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,800 Speaker 3: Somebody said mistakes correctable? 690 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 5: Was that? 691 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 11: Uh? 692 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 3: Is that Zimmer? That was somebody miking related. I think anyway, 693 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 3: that is one that it's it's easier to correct the 694 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 3: guy's behavior and say don't do that again, other than 695 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,279 Speaker 3: teaching mechanics. I think mechanics are harder to pick up that. 696 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 3: So yeah, you would hope that. Yeah, dude, you just 697 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,880 Speaker 3: bring the dude deciding. Dude, don't put your shoulder down 698 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 3: ever again. Go out of bounds if if it's if, 699 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 3: if it's to win the game and you got to 700 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 3: get to the end zone, well yeah, okay, we'll throw 701 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 3: your shoulder down and we'll take our chances. But first 702 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:54,359 Speaker 3: drive of the game, there's no need to put your 703 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 3: shoulder down and try on a. 704 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 1: Meaning it was the sideline. 705 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, Sidlin, it makes no sense at all. 706 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:00,080 Speaker 1: You weren't going to gain anything out of it. You 707 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 1: were gonna get yardage. 708 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,279 Speaker 3: Here's a JP calling JP. You're on the fan, thanks 709 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:04,720 Speaker 3: for calling. 710 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:07,240 Speaker 4: Not a problem. 711 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:12,319 Speaker 9: Listen, I love your show, and I just want to say, well, 712 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 9: I know you do. Listen that offensive line. We need 713 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 9: beat the eaters up there. We need people that are mean, tough, 714 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,800 Speaker 9: they can run, block past protect. I don't like crazy. 715 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 9: I think he needs to go. And as far as 716 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:33,439 Speaker 9: JJ is concerned, McCarthy, of course, I'm on the fence 717 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:37,239 Speaker 9: with him. He shows sparks and I understand he takes risks, 718 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,719 Speaker 9: but that kind of seems like a gamer to me. 719 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:44,040 Speaker 9: But the other thing I want to say is Harrison 720 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,239 Speaker 9: Smith needs to come back one more year. He needs 721 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 9: to give us another chance. If we can get that 722 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 9: offensive line fixed and nobody whying about concussions and pack 723 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,279 Speaker 9: problems and all that other whatever it is, you know, 724 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,960 Speaker 9: I think we'll be okay. We have to establish a 725 00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,399 Speaker 9: run game. We can't do that with that offensive line, 726 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,440 Speaker 9: all right. That takes obviously pressure off the quarterback. 727 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 3: Thanks Jai appreciate. Thanks. Well, yeah, I don't think people 728 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 3: are whining about concussions. I think if you're diagnosed with 729 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,080 Speaker 3: a concussion, that's that. I guarantee you nine out of 730 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,799 Speaker 3: ten players, maybe all of them, if they weren't, if 731 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,719 Speaker 3: it wasn't mandatory to come out of a game with 732 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,759 Speaker 3: concussions symptoms, a lot of would keep playing. So I 733 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,880 Speaker 3: don't think they're whining about concussions. I mean, if if, 734 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,440 Speaker 3: if you get your bell wrong. Well, look, you think 735 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 3: Kyle Hamilton wanted to come out of yesterday's game? Is 736 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 3: that that the safety for the Ravens? Do you think 737 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:36,279 Speaker 3: he wanted to come out? Do you think he was 738 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,240 Speaker 3: whining about his concussion? He had a head on collision 739 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 3: with another with one of his teammates. His teammate went 740 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,279 Speaker 3: in the tent first, and you could tell by when 741 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,840 Speaker 3: they showed the replay. Kyle Hamilton took the worst, the 742 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,240 Speaker 3: worst of it right. The other guy passed concussion protocol, 743 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,239 Speaker 3: went back out. Hamilton went out on a on a cart. 744 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,240 Speaker 3: You're not going to tell me Kyle Hamilton was whining 745 00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 3: about his concussion. They told him you have concussions off 746 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 3: you can't. That's the rules now. You cannot play if 747 00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 3: you have concussion symptoms. So I don't think people are 748 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 3: whining about Look, that's he talked about the offensive line. 749 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 3: We've talked about it forever. That's the reason Philadelphia they 750 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:17,839 Speaker 3: got the tush push. Why because their general manager, It's 751 00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:25,359 Speaker 3: how Howie Roseman. He drafts offensive linemen every year. Every year, 752 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,359 Speaker 3: they just keep drafting them. Just keep because you're gonna 753 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:28,920 Speaker 3: miss on some and you're gonna hit on others, and 754 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,600 Speaker 3: you need depth there as well. That's why they're The 755 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,400 Speaker 3: offensive line is the key. It is if you've got 756 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:40,320 Speaker 3: an offensive line that can protect a quarterback, any of 757 00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,600 Speaker 3: these guys can car We've talked on Tenneby. How many 758 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,600 Speaker 3: times have we talked about this? Every one of these 759 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,600 Speaker 3: quarterbacks in the league, even the guys that are on 760 00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 3: the bottom tier, if you give them enough time to throw, 761 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,440 Speaker 3: they can hit open wide receivers because if you have 762 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,960 Speaker 3: time to throw, guys eventually get open. The key is, 763 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,279 Speaker 3: can you provide just enough perfection protection for that two 764 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 3: and a half three seconds so we can get rid 765 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 3: of the football. And yeah, that's what you need. And 766 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,320 Speaker 3: then in Philadelphia has that, and so does some of 767 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 3: the other better teams. Detroit had it for two years. 768 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 3: Their offensive line suffered very few injuries and their offensive 769 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,320 Speaker 3: line was as good as any in Pro football, and 770 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:19,319 Speaker 3: they went fourteen and three I think the year they 771 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 3: went to the NFC Championship game in fifteen and two. 772 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:26,360 Speaker 3: Last year this year without without an All Pro center, 773 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,839 Speaker 3: and was Zeitler gone and other injuries. They went nine 774 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,239 Speaker 3: and eight. That's the biggest difference for Detroit was it 775 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,439 Speaker 3: was often same with the Vikings. Offensive line wasn't good. 776 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 3: I don't think McCarthy is as far along as Jared Goff. 777 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,319 Speaker 2: I don't think any of don't think McCarthy helps your 778 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:42,479 Speaker 2: offensive line look as good. 779 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 3: As it can look. 780 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 1: I think that's it put him in positions to succeed. 781 00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:54,680 Speaker 3: That's absolutely true as well. Coaches showed them out. Nico 782 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:56,719 Speaker 3: med Bett right as far as I know, far as 783 00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,480 Speaker 3: I know, so med bet they beat Northwestern. That was 784 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,400 Speaker 3: their first win away from William. They play Iowa of 785 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 3: them are I saw I saw Parker Fox down in 786 00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 3: the lobby downstairs talking to piano man, and uh, he said, 787 00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 3: to be a good game. He thinks we can hang 788 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,040 Speaker 3: with Iowa. Seemed to suggest that, So we'll we'll see 789 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,760 Speaker 3: if that happens. So we're back at one o'clock tomorrow, 790 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,960 Speaker 3: and then the legendary one joins us at two o'clock. 791 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:29,640 Speaker 3: Mark Rosen, oh boy, and then Rock maybe pay me 792 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 3: six dollars. I can't remember if I owe any money anymore, 793 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,360 Speaker 3: he'll remember I think we're square. I think it was 794 00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,440 Speaker 3: it was down to like a dollar because I think 795 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,440 Speaker 3: I held on and paying them off long enough that 796 00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:43,920 Speaker 3: I won a couple more bets along the way. Do 797 00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,000 Speaker 3: you think Power Trip Bets keeps track of that for 798 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:47,399 Speaker 3: us too? They can tell me how much. 799 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,279 Speaker 2: He keeps track, but he doesn't know whether you've paid 800 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,919 Speaker 2: him or not. He keeps tracks of all your wins 801 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:53,400 Speaker 2: and losses. 802 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:58,279 Speaker 3: But oh yeah, that's right, he doesn't know I pay 803 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:02,560 Speaker 3: it off. What I mean is I think I wouled 804 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,839 Speaker 3: like Rosen like twelve, but then I won like two 805 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:07,239 Speaker 3: or three bets in a row and it came down. 806 00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 3: So I just like to know where my bets were 807 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 3: the last couple of times. I think I won the 808 00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,120 Speaker 3: last two or three bets. So in other words, I 809 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,879 Speaker 3: think we're close to even. I think I'm I think 810 00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,480 Speaker 3: I'm in the black for this back in Black, Back 811 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:22,440 Speaker 3: and black in this one. Do you have a Do 812 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:27,000 Speaker 3: you have a team that you I know you're not 813 00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:28,479 Speaker 3: going to like, you know, curl up in the fetal 814 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,719 Speaker 3: position if they get eliminated from postseason play. Was there 815 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:32,560 Speaker 3: a team or two that that that you're going to 816 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 3: be pulling out I'm cheering for yeah. 817 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I was hoping Baltimore last night and 818 00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,279 Speaker 2: then they choked that one way that was gonna be 819 00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:41,120 Speaker 2: my team to sneak in, and then I would I 820 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:48,000 Speaker 2: like Lamar Jackson, I might go Buffalo. I like Josh 821 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 2: Allen that obviously we know their history. There's so much mediocrity. 822 00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:58,800 Speaker 2: I still think ultimately, like quarterback play is so important 823 00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:02,560 Speaker 2: in the postseason, but that's gonna rise at the top here. 824 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,279 Speaker 2: So I think Baltimore Buffalo might surprise him. And though 825 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 2: they've had kind of a weird season, how things the 826 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 2: Rams are gonna win at all. That's my really, that's 827 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:10,920 Speaker 2: my product. Here's how things have. 828 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:15,319 Speaker 3: Changed for me.
