Speaker 2: Ford Field for the first time in half a decade,

00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: and it was welcome back JJ McCarthy, who accounted for

13

Speaker 2: We'll be firing those off as well. And but let's

23
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: jump back to Ford Field, because not just the offensive performance.

24
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: Some defenses good, bad and ugly we can pick our

25
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: way through. But how about a fumble recovery today from

26
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: Harrison Smith, who is back in Ford Field, back in

27
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 2: the locker room with our own Ben Lieber.

28
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 3: All right, thanks a lot, guys, we're down here with

29
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 3: Harrison Smith and Harry heck of a game. I mean,

30
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 3: we saw you coming off the edge a lot, you know,

31
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 3: maybe more so than we've seen in some past games.

32
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 3: What was the what was the the pregame thought as

33
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 3: you guys went into practice versus the way that you

34
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 3: guys executed. Was it exactly what you thought? Or they

35
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 3: kind of throw some different things that year?

36
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 4: I would you know, it's it's never exactly how you think.

37
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 4: But there's certain certain things and with my experience and

38
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 4: with our defenses kind of the way we play and

39
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 4: the way flow calls it, you know, there's some things

40
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 4: that if we see we like them, we can do

41
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 4: different things. And it's really it's really a game within

42
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 4: a game. Of adjusting on the fly and they're they're

43
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 4: gonna make some plays. How do you adjust? It's it's

44
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 4: that's that's the fun stuff for me.

45
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 3: When it comes to the pre snap movements, it did

46
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 3: seem like you guys were much crisper, more in sync.

47
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 3: Whether you guys were bluff bailing, whether you guys were

48
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 3: blitzing from depth right out the snap. What goes into

49
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 3: that and how were you guys able to execute that

50
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 3: for four quarters?

51
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 4: It's it's it can be different based on the opponent.

52
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 4: You know, what they like to do, who they like

53
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,119
Speaker 4: on their team. But it's really you know, there's obviously

54
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 4: the play clock is involved, and you never want to

55
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 4: overdisguise and miss out on your assignment. So there's sometimes

56
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 4: your head can get a little like lost in it

57
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 4: if you're not used to it. Luckily, I've been doing

58
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 4: it for a long time, so it's a little Probably

59
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 4: the reps make it easier. But uh, that's that's the

60
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 4: fun stuff. Like I said, like, but you can't get

61
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 4: too carried away.

62
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 3: I will say that when it comes to you guys

63
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 3: stop in the run, which you guys are fantastic today.

64
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 3: I know a lot of it starts up front. You're

65
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 3: part of that sometimes when you're when you're on the edge.

66
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 3: But what did you notice from our defensive front?

67
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: What were they.

68
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 3: Doing today that maybe that we haven't seen in the

69
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 3: last couple of games, to get off these blocks and

70
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 3: make some plays.

71
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 4: I think I think we're just letting them go, letting

72
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 4: them play their game.

73
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 2: That's why they're here.

74
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 4: They can make plays, they can beat beat one on

75
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 4: one matchups. It's as simple as like sometimes football is

76
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 4: as simple as just beating the guy across from you.

77
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 4: And when we can do that up front, it opens

78
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 4: up a lot for us. And you know, sometimes you

79
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 4: got to kind.

80
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 5: Of figure out who you are.

81
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 4: And I think we're we're trending in the right direction.

82
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 3: Who do you guys think you are at this point

83
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 3: in time? I mean a lot of people came in

84
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 3: and doubted you guys could come into Ford Field and

85
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 3: beat this team that is kind of poised to win

86
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 3: this division. A lot of people thought well of the

87
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 3: best in the NFC. So after a game like today,

88
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 3: when you guys are getting healthier across the board, McCarthy

89
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 3: comes out there and looks like he's he's the real deal.

90
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 3: What what does this game say about you, guys and

91
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 3: who are you?

92
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 4: I think right now it says that there's a lot

93
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 4: of scrap to us, there's a lot of there's a

94
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,679
Speaker 4: lot of attention to detail to us that maybe hasn't

95
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 4: shown up yet and is and it did today, and

96
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 4: it's can we continue to grow on that? And obviously

97
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 4: JJ coming in playing playing great, that's who he thought

98
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 4: he was, you know, and just getting him out there,

99
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 4: getting him healthy, it's a big deal. But more so,

100
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 4: like just speaking on the defense, like I said, I

101
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 4: think when when you have some turnovers, some change, you

102
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 4: got to figure out who you are. And I think

103
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 4: I think defensively we are and I think offensively we

104
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:51,559
Speaker 4: are as well.

105
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I appreciate the time, man, heck of a game. Yeah,

106
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 3: you'll get those Ravens.

107
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: As Harrison Smith with Ben Lieber down in the line,

108
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 2: I believe any minute now maybe we'll catch up with

109
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: Vikings right tackle Brian O'Neill. But that's for moments down

110
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: the road. This is for now. Ron Johnson in studio,

111
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 2: Vikings win twenty seven, twenty four. What you think of that?

112
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: How about winning in ford Field for the first time

113
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 2: in half a decade? How about the kid QB showing

114
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: up in some spots today.

115
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 6: Ron, Yeah, it's about physicality, though it starts up front.

116
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 6: I think the defensive guys just kind of hit them

117
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 6: in the mouth. He saw a lot of those cross

118
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 6: dog blitzes where you know guys are doing their job.

119
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 6: There's no selfishness in that. The first guy through, You're not.

120
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,799
Speaker 6: Your job is not to get to the quarterback unless

121
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 6: the running back just absolutely misses. But your job is

122
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 6: to put your face mask through his face mask and

123
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 6: say I got my guy coming behind me. And that's

124
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 6: what happened. Like you saw the next linebacker come through

125
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 6: those linebackers, and then in the offensive line, even like

126
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 6: Javon Hargray splitting the double teams, not just getting up

127
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,679
Speaker 6: getting held saying okay, I'm gonna just let two guys

128
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 6: you know, hold me up here and create a lane

129
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 6: for the running back. They were getting through on runs,

130
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 6: they were tackling. There was not a lot of mistackles.

131
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 6: That's where a lot of the lion stuff comes from,

132
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 6: is yards after contact and the vikings were getting them down.

133
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 6: But that I think that's where it started. It started

134
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 6: with the physicality of that defense and JJ McCarthy played calm.

135
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 6: I mean not a big output three hundred You know,

136
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 6: people are like, oh, we need two hundred and fifty

137
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 6: yards three hundred yards, No, you don't. He did this

138
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 6: at Michigan if you give him a run game, if

139
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 6: you give him simple plays. And I told you this

140
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 6: last time we talked about this about the red zone

141
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 6: stuff that the Lions did and the lack of red

142
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 6: zone play calling. As far as it doesn't need to

143
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 6: be innovative, it doesn't need to be like, whoa did

144
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 6: you just see that play? You have the guy that

145
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 6: is going to be going down in history is probably

146
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 6: one of the best, if not the best receiver in

147
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 6: the NFL, justin Jefferson. You don't need to get tricky.

148
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 6: You got a big tight end that is over six

149
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 6: foot five, two hundred and fifty pounds. You don't have

150
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 6: to get tricky. Let him find a zone hole of

151
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 6: its zone. If it's man, he was gonna run with

152
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 6: that guy across in man and he's probably gonna throw

153
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 6: it up top and let a big, tall guy just

154
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 6: out jump a little guy. Yeah, that's the things that

155
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 6: I was hoping would happen in the red zone and

156
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 6: That's what happened. He didn't not make like it, none

157
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 6: of that Kevin O'Connell stuff that people.

158
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: Get mad at, like why is he getting so cute?

159
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 2: Why's he getting so triue? He didn't do that.

160
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 6: He dialed up the perfect plays that looked like a

161
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 6: coach that set up every night and said, you know what,

162
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 6: let me come up with some easier plays and let

163
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 6: my young quarterback just be able to figure it out

164
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 6: right at the snap, Here's where I'm going, And you

165
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 6: could tell he knew right as the snap, whay to

166
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 6: go with the ball?

167
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 2: Dan and Austin Dan, Welcome to Vikings fan line.

168
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 7: Hello, guys, how's it going.

169
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 2: It's going well.

170
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I've called in a few times lately,

171
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 7: just talking about how gutless the team has been this

172
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 7: year and really for about sixty years. With JJ McCarthy,

173
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 7: I think he gives us the opportunity to move from

174
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 7: a gutless organization to one with gumption. Harry was calling

175
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 7: it scrappy just now. You know, I don't know if

176
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 7: jjm is a good quarterback.

177
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 8: Yet, but he has it.

178
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 7: It's gumption.

179
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 9: I love it.

180
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 10: Thank you.

181
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 7: I'll hang up and listen.

182
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, you know, and I do want to

183
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: dig back into the defense because you and you were

184
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 2: hit on a few different points ron that I want

185
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 2: to revisit, but specifically with JJ McCarthy getting to see

186
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: him again and kind of okay. Through those two games,

187
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: we saw one quarter in which he manufactures three touchdown,

188
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 2: drives a lot of huh and in between right, and

189
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 2: then he hurts his ankle in the Falcons game. We

190
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 2: don't see him for a month and a half. But

191
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 2: things that I wanted to see today. I wanted to

192
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 2: see accuracy. I wanted to see better decision making. I

193
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 2: wanted to see him using his legs and in totality

194
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: the product. Like you said, you didn't need him to

195
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 2: go for two fifty. I mean he threw a missile

196
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 2: over Jefferson's head today, that interception with the nailer bit

197
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: and the review that's on him because he threw it

198
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: behind him. He threw it behind Naylor another time. He

199
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 2: was not perfect today by any means, but I actually

200
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: I can say that after not seeing him for a

201
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 2: month and a half, I thought he was better today

202
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 2: than where he left things at that point with the injury,

203
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 2: and he really impressed me. In an awful place to

204
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 2: come back from injury and try to win.

205
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, because I like, I liked how tom Brady broke

206
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 6: it down, because one tom Brady wasn't trying to predict

207
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 6: the future with every play. He was letting the play happen.

208
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 6: And then he was kind of giving us insight to

209
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 6: the head of a quarterback and he said, you know,

210
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 6: they talked about JJ McCarthy having a driver or a

211
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 6: three wood or whatever, and he's always he can throw that,

212
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 6: you know, deep ball, and he could throw the one

213
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 6: ball he could, but can you throw the nine iron?

214
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 6: Can you throw a pitching well? Can you do a

215
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 6: little touch? And he was he was talking us through that,

216
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 6: and one of the ones, the one you're talking about,

217
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 6: over just Jefferson's head. It was literally right at his fingertips,

218
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 6: which means and with tom Brady, if he puts his

219
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 6: hand maybe over the top of the ball just a

220
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 6: little bit more so that the nose of the ball

221
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 6: can dive down versus he had it underneath where it

222
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 6: was kind of like he's throwing it high down the

223
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 6: field a little further. So those are fundamental things that

224
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 6: he can fix that's not like just bad throws. That's

225
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 6: just fundamentals. In that moment, the game was moving fast.

226
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 6: He had to roll out, So a lot of that

227
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 6: is just slow the game down, get into the matrix.

228
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 6: Eventually it's gonna slow down for him where he's gonna

229
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 6: see a lineup guy or see a coverage. It's gonna

230
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 6: be like boom. I know what this looks like. He

231
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 6: hasn't had a lot of This is a third game, right,

232
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 6: he hasn't had a lot of like full speed game stuff.

233
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 6: So the fact is this is a third game and he's

234
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 6: making some of these throws. Yeah, one hundred percent some

235
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 6: of those are on there. And even the nailer went

236
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 6: to me, I still don't understand that rule. Because Naylor

237
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 6: had control of it and his knee hit the ground,

238
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 6: he's down to hear one hand he had one hand

239
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 6: is a catch like you don't have to if you

240
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 6: go down with one hand in your leg, that's control

241
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 6: and you're down. So his knee hit the ground, then

242
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 6: the dB yanks it out when he rolls over again.

243
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 6: I'm not arguing as an interception because he didn't have

244
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 6: full control over it, because does the leg keep it secure,

245
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 6: But because if that was in the end zone and

246
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 6: it doesn't move from his leg and he slides both

247
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 6: feet in and falls to the ground and never moves.

248
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: It's a catch.

249
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 6: So that's what I'm saying, Like, when you think about that,

250
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 6: it's it's the rule of it because just like if

251
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 6: one arm, you don't have to bring the second arm.

252
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 6: That's why a lot of the coaches say, like, don't

253
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 6: try to shift it. If you catch it one hand

254
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 6: or you basket catch it with one hand and you're falling,

255
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 6: just fall. Don't try to reposition the ball because once

256
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 6: it moves then they have to resay you gain control.

257
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 6: But again that's that's here nor there. If he throws

258
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 6: a better ball in front of him, it's an easy catch,

259
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 6: and maybe Naylor run for fifteen more yards because he

260
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 6: had them beat and he had separation. Yeah, but yeah,

261
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 6: I think I think JJ McCarthy look way better. I

262
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 6: will say last week we were like debating Max Brozman

263
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 6: and we were down on him. I gotta apologize to

264
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 6: Jay McCarthy, like, hey, Max, you're gonna be holding that

265
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 6: clipboard for us as year by jajo season because JJ

266
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 6: looks good and so it's recency biased, you know, can

267
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 6: he do this against the Ravens. Can he do this

268
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 6: the next week? Can he do it again the next week?

269
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 6: You know, like it has to be. And if it's

270
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 6: one hundred and forty five every week and he looks

271
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 6: like this and they win the game, I think everybody's

272
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 6: okay with that.

273
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 10: Well.

274
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 2: Sadly through through eight games is the Vike's improved to

275
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 2: four and four? Now it's gonna be another week of

276
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 2: injury conversation, yep, because a big part of this win today,

277
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 2: a big part of putting it on a platter so

278
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 2: that the kid can be KIDQB can succeed the run game. Man,

279
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: I mean, how important was Aaron Jones today?

280
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 11: Right?

281
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 2: And it was a buck forty two on the ground

282
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 2: in totality, and I think nine rushes for like twelve yards,

283
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: very very immaterial in total from the QB. So very

284
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 2: instrumental was Aaron Jones, who apparently has kind of made

285
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 2: a career, whether it's here or it was in Green

286
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 2: Bay of just roasting the kitties. So we appreciate his work.

287
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 2: The shoulder thing and then maybe a toe so it's

288
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 2: something to watch there with McCarthy. He throws that ball

289
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 2: over Jefferson's head. But then he also throws that dime

290
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 2: to Addison nearside, going right to left, where it absolutely

291
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 2: required some of that touch and precision. And that's we're

292
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 2: gonna have to live with that, right you mentioned it's

293
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: his third career game, and it just stinks that we're

294
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 2: in we're on the back side of Halloween now early November,

295
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 2: and we're just finally now getting to see you know

296
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 2: that we get to revisit or resume the conversation of

297
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: living with the good and the bad and hoping for

298
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 2: more good than bad with JJ got a heck of

299
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 2: a lot more good today than we did bad.

300
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 6: Yeah, And here's the funny thing is on Vikings Game

301
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 6: Day Live, I did the three minute drill and we

302
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 6: have four plays and in every situation when it's tough,

303
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 6: the Lions go man. And so you could tell Kevin

304
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 6: O'Connell did that. The Ravens beat him with the corner

305
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 6: route to the tight end. What did the Vikings do.

306
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 6: They ran the same corner route. They just switched it

307
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 6: up and it was Addison the Ravens or the the

308
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 6: Bengals beat him with a one on one kind of

309
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 6: either fade or it is going to be a pylon throw.

310
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 6: What did the Vikings do pilon throw to Justin Jefferson.

311
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 6: So Kevin O'Connell was a student this week, and he

312
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 6: did a great job of understanding, they're just gonna go, man,

313
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 6: They're not trying to trick me. They're not gonna do

314
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 6: these you know, exotic coverages. And if you happen to

315
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 6: get to which that was that red too on that

316
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 6: last one, just be patient and somebody has to get open.

317
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 6: And it was TJ. Howkinson, so it was and that

318
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 6: one was the the Travis Kelsey. When Travis Kelsey ran

319
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 6: that same route, all three Lions ran back to him

320
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 6: like they were Taylor Swift looking for their husband. And

321
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 6: Brown was wide open on the shallow So that was

322
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 6: the same exact roll out by Patrick Mahomes.

323
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy did it.

324
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 6: It was the same look the lions this time they're like, oh, shoot,

325
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 6: last time we ran for the tight end. Let's go

326
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 6: find somebody else to leave open. And they left the

327
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 6: tight end open. So and again they always run after

328
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 6: the man. Like I don't think TJ. Howkinson is considered

329
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 6: the main in this. Travis Kelce was for the Chiefs,

330
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 6: and so I think That's what Kevin O'Connor knew too,

331
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 6: like they're going to run after the guy. They think

332
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 6: we're throwing it too. They didn't expect TJ. Hopkins to

333
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 6: be wide open in the back of the end zone.

334
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 6: So I just looked at the way JJ McCarthy did

335
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 6: it and the way he called these plays. It was

336
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 6: awesome because and I hope that this is what the

337
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 6: future looks like. Quicker throws hitches, slants, you know, the

338
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 6: quick throwout on the on the the all out blitz,

339
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 6: and he throws a tunnel screen to the running back.

340
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 2: I mean, like it was.

341
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 6: It was just beautiful to see it, like like manipulated

342
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 6: by motion shift. And then he's like, okay, here's the play.

343
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 6: And the only other thing, the only negative. And you

344
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 6: notice though today he was getting the line of scripts

345
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 6: about sixteen and seventeen seconds a day.

346
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it was.

347
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 6: It was a lot. Quicker was a couple of times

348
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 6: he did come late and he's like clapping his hands

349
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 6: trying to tell this like, hey, I've got time, I

350
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 6: got time to give me the ball. So that's the

351
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 6: only negative. But I think they figured that out too well.

352
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 6: And also we'll see some communication bits. There were two

353
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 6: different run plays today where ohya, he went the wrong,

354
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 6: win he went the wrong but I think one so,

355
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 6: you know, I want to know more about the communication

356
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 6: angle because one Mason slapping his own chest is if

357
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 6: it was his fault, So it's definitely was if wet

358
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 6: Alfin's the line they went left.

359
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, the whole the whole play was going the other

360
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 2: direction except for Jordan Mason. Some things to clean up.

361
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 2: But in the end, on third down and you have

362
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 2: to hit this throw to win the game. It's as

363
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 2: good a back shoulder to nailor as you're gonna find.

364
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 2: And that's it, and it's and it's ball game and

365
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 2: the Vikings win. Back to the phone lines here, let's

366
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 2: check in, Uh, what's what's Chan? What's happening in? Shan Hassen, Nate,

367
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 2: Nate and Shan Hassen. Welcome to Vikings fan line.

368
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 12: Yeah, hey guys, happy to be here. Just a question

369
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 12: about our goal line packages. I'd love to see some

370
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 12: more ISO, you know, two tackles CJ Ham.

371
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 10: I know he's out, but maybe a fullback in there.

372
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 12: I want to see it simplified for JJ as he

373
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 12: gets to learn the offense.

374
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I appreciate that. That's one thing.

375
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 6: I you know, Josh Oliver's out too, though, So among

376
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 6: all the among all the things to celebrate, I will

377
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 6: I will admit ron in a game where we're winning.

378
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 2: After the after the blocked kick and Rogers gets caught

379
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 2: by the punter. I mean, that's a bad look. Really,

380
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 2: it's just this fox cat fast.

381
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 6: But I was going to do with stop on the

382
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 6: breaks though, but then it breaks.

383
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 2: I think there's a twelve yard run by Mason to

384
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 2: put to set it up its first and goal. He

385
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: runs on first down and then he does a roll

386
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 2: out to a pass, and then he does an option

387
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 2: it looks like to the far side as I'm watching

388
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 2: it on TV. Sadly, JJ gets knocked out of bounds

389
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 2: in the process, just maybe a little more is so

390
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 2: like he's talking about. I think there we might be

391
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 2: talking about a personnel issue because we don't have our

392
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 2: fullback or our big tight end or our biggest tight

393
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 2: end in this In that situation, I would have liked

394
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 2: to see another Mason. I would have put Jayleen Redmond

395
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 2: at full back because the situation. Put a bit of

396
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 2: defensive tackle it's fast, or put a linebacker in there.

397
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 2: We've seen people do that in the past. The Ravens

398
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 2: have done that. Williams out there, Yeah, he could probably

399
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 2: do that. Just put him at.

400
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 6: Full back, say hey, go clean a lane like a snowplow,

401
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 6: and I think he'd be happy to do.

402
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 2: He would love to do. Tell his family about it,

403
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 2: get the video copy, show it to his kids.

404
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, put him emotions, just go full speed and

405
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 6: just kill somebody.

406
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 2: In that stage. Every tick of the clock is your friend,

407
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 2: and I would I would have preferred to see another play,

408
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 2: maybe run on the ground, Ben and Alaska, Ben, Welcome

409
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 2: to Vikings fan line.

410
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 10: Hey, guys, I got some concerns. JJ didn't look particularly

411
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 10: sharks and maybe he just needs some this rhythm along

412
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 10: with the receivers who didn't get that for the last month.

413
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 10: But my question for you guys is we're about fifty

414
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 10: four million over the cap and we have a lot

415
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 10: of older players. We got Aaron Jones, we got Dan Ginkole.

416
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 10: You know what are we going to do with our

417
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 10: salary cap next year and how can we improve from there?

418
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 10: I do love this, love you guys. Keep up the

419
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 10: good work.

420
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 2: Take care, Hey, take care, Ben, and I appreciate you

421
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 2: calling in, and I'm not trying to stiff arm. You're right,

422
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 2: the money situation in twenty twenty six is is an

423
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 2: interesting one and a complicated one. After all that flexibility,

424
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 2: we've kind of well, I mean, it's in vogue now

425
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 2: in the NFL. You just keep pushing. We got, we

426
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 2: got dead cap years, we got all those things. I

427
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 2: am in no way prepared to talk about, well, we're

428
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 2: gonna do fifty four million dollars.

429
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 6: Robertsinsky is is a wizard, though he's gonna he's gonna

430
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 6: get a bunch of veterans to restructure to fix that.

431
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: I'm still trying. I'll be honest with you, Ben, I

432
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 2: haven't even figured out yet how we got five sacks

433
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 2: on Jared Goff today. So that's what I'm trying to

434
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 2: figure out at this moment.

435
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 6: Bah Wilson, how about Eric Wilson, Eric Wilson, how about

436
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 6: Hargrave Terror?

437
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 2: I didn't know Hargrave was still on the team. He

438
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 2: was a baller today and he certainly was. Jeff and

439
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 2: Black Duck. Jeff, Welcome to Maline, Hi, guys.

440
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 13: Thanks for quick call.

441
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 2: Hey.

442
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 13: First of all, I don't know if anybody is more

443
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 13: surprised than myself.

444
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 6: But we beat them.

445
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 13: But it was nice to see the defense finally stepping up.

446
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 13: My only disappointment on the defense so far this year

447
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 13: has been Jonathan Allen. I think I think they missed

448
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 13: Harrison Phillips way more. But and just to close, I

449
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 13: just want to say that I think the number one

450
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 13: spire of the game should be Miles Price, the puck returner.

451
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 13: He had a hell of a game, but thanks for

452
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 13: a call.

453
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: No.

454
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 6: I appreciate Tavierre Thomas owes him a dinner or something,

455
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 6: or a lobster like something.

456
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 2: How brutal is that they just drive him, don't hold him.

457
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 2: The kick return is taking off the board ninety nine

458
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 2: yards clear hold by the way right.

459
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 6: But if he drives them instead of stop his That's

460
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 6: why you don't stop your feet. Every special team's practice

461
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 6: they say go, go go, so your feet never should stop.

462
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 6: You should be just like even if you're just doing

463
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 6: the pity pat the minute you fill a little resistance,

464
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 6: then you could run with them. Tavi or Thomas stopped

465
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 6: his feet and the minute he felt a tug he

466
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 6: should have let go, but his feet he could not

467
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 6: do it. I mean in that slight little tug of

468
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 6: the arm, and yeah, I knew I made a mistake.

469
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 2: Earlier in the game, when fear went down seven to nothing,

470
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 2: a Laporta carries like five defenders into the end zone

471
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 2: and I'm super sour Miles Price had there like that

472
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 2: fifty eight to fifty nine yard returnep. I knew I

473
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 2: made a mistake when I celebrated it a special team's

474
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 2: play without a penalty, I knew I made a mistake.

475
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 2: I knew it would bite us later in the game.

476
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 2: Tavier Thomas in negates the the one hundred yard kick

477
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 2: return touchdown, So that's an l team would ultimately punt,

478
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 2: by the way, and who was it, I believe on

479
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 2: the ensuing punt, which was a nice one, it went

480
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 2: out of bounds. I forget exactly where, but maybe inside

481
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 2: the twenty. Who's the guy that got knocked out of

482
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 2: bounds one of the gunners that refused to run back

483
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 2: inbounds and then was flagged for another fifteen yards? Was

484
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 2: that tavierre Thomas Again? Come on, man, unfreaking believable. With

485
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 2: these special teams penalties so stupid, so undisciplined, completely avoidable,

486
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 2: and here we are every single game. I mean that

487
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 2: basically Special teams Federalties basically got Kobe King waved because

488
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 2: all he could do was Special teams and just kept

489
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 2: getting penalized. Tavi or Thomas Man, I mean you owe,

490
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 2: you owe the entire special teams unit, but especially Miles

491
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 2: Price off the board.

492
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 11: What do you what do you do?

493
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 2: It is funny. I mean buy him on the fair

494
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 2: bracelet or something. What do you so on the fair catch?

495
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 6: I think Tavi or Thomas, either Tavi or Thomas or

496
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 6: the receiver thirteen one. It was one of that ty

497
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 6: Felt It might have been Type Felt one of them

498
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 6: like ran over Miles Price, like was just too close.

499
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 6: Basically like if you know he fair called it and

500
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 6: he's saying, you know, get away, stop like run the

501
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 6: other way. They both almost hit the punt return of

502
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 6: Miles Price catches. It was that the one in traffic.

503
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 2: It was in traffic. There was a there was a

504
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 2: lion pretty close.

505
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 6: He was right over him, but he was he was

506
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 6: allowed to do that because a viking is still in

507
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 6: contact with him. So he had hit him, they would

508
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 6: have said this is on the Vikings for blocking all

509
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 6: the way through the punt returner. So even then I said, man,

510
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 6: you guys don't understand how special of a play that

511
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 6: is to make that catching traffic. And then you got

512
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 6: the other penalty, and then you got the ninety nine

513
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 6: yard or so I'm like, oh man, And so yeah,

514
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 6: Miles Price was heartbroken. He was absolutely heartbroken. But yeah,

515
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 6: he's got to get him a lobster, like a couple

516
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 6: little lobsters drop it off.

517
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 2: To his doors. At this stage of the season, though,

518
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 2: what you can tell, and he's a rookie, hopefully many

519
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 2: many for Miles Price, Miles Price's sake, many many years

520
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 2: of NFL experience ahead of him. Couldn't you tell how

521
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 2: self aware he was though a games into the season,

522
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 2: Because he scores that touchdown, there's a little bit of

523
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 2: a celebration. Oh and then first thing he did is

524
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 2: he turned back looking for flags and he knew what

525
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 2: was coming. He knew it, he knew it. He oh,

526
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 2: just kneeled out at the ten. Don't even make yourself

527
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 2: run the extra.

528
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 6: The only thing I would say about that hole too, though,

529
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 6: is like, that's that's again. It goes back to just

530
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 6: knowing the situation in that moment, because if he lets

531
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 6: him go a little bit sooner Miles Price still breaks

532
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 6: that arm tackle. He doesn't have enough body in front

533
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 6: of him to stop him. He might slow him down

534
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 6: a half a half a click, but Miles Price has

535
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 6: top end speed to get back to going full speed

536
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 6: because on that long fifty eight he got bumped and

537
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 6: the twenty five was right there with them from the Lions.

538
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 6: And then you just saw Miles Price hit another gear.

539
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 6: So he has that second gear. So again you're right.

540
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,199
Speaker 6: Being a rookie, he has like Marcus Sherrill's type. If

541
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 6: he can stay healthy, you know, he could be that

542
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 6: kind of impact out and then we'll see him on

543
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 6: offensive visually.

544
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 2: I'm sure Ron from Golden Valley a text message Nordo

545
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 2: and Ron the kid can play twice now in two

546
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 2: division road games. He has had his team up ten

547
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 2: with under three minutes left. How many Vikings quarterbacks can

548
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 2: say that? And he's essentially a rookie. He also rips

549
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 2: that cap caller, although I'm not mad about it. Ben,

550
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 2: let's look ahead to the cap. I just just not

551
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 2: right now, all right? We just beat the Lions at

552
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,719
Speaker 2: Ford Field. We were like ten point underdogs. I think

553
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 2: it was nine or nine and a half by kickoff.

554
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 2: Let celebrate that a little bit. I think the kid

555
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 2: QB took a step today. I think we should be

556
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: celebrating it. Thank you, Ron and Golden Valley for the text.

557
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 2: Thank you for tuning into Vikings fan line twenty seven

558
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 2: to twenty four of the final. The Vikings win at

559
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 2: ford Field. I think since twenty twenty that's the last

560
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 2: time and certainly the first time that that Kevin O'Connell

561
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 2: has found his way to victory in Detroit. So we're

562
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 2: loving that. We're loving the four and four Vikings. What

563
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 2: a tone change from a Thursday night at so Far

564
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 2: to today after the ford Field game. We're going to

565
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 2: continue taking your calls. We got text and talkbacks in

00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 14: hundred point three ks A n the fan.

571
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 15: Yeah, this is what I've been saying all year. You

572
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 15: gotta let the kid play, Let McCarthy play.

573
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 2: Let's go find out what he's got. Now he's healthy.

574
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 15: Let him get after it, and he showed some leadership skills.

575
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 15: He had a couple times I wish you to thrown

576
00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 15: the ball away out of bounds, but over all he

577
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 15: did a heck of a job. Great job from the

578
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 15: defense skull Vikes from the two point eight I dig it.

579
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 2: Thank you for the talkback free iHeartRadio app.

580
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 3: The only thing that makes an unexpected win even more

581
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 3: delicious as a Packers loss.

582
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 2: Oh, expect the worst vote for the best.

583
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 13: Wow.

584
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, Max. I don't know how closely you were watching

585
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 2: the Packers game, but I mean, was was Jordan Love

586
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 2: just a disaster today? I mean I see Rico Dowdle

587
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 2: celebrating in the end zone. That's not supposed to happen

588
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 2: at Lambeau.

589
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 16: I mean I heard that the Packers were going to

590
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 16: be undefeated by the time that they faced the Minnesota Viking.

591
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 2: Someone on this very station set us such trap game,

592
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 2: Trap Game, trap game. Oddly enough, I think you can

593
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 2: listen to Packer Review. It's a podcast free iHeart Radio

594
00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 2: app featuring Dave Sinnecon and Brett trap Game, Blake more.

595
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 2: You can listen to that episode and it should be informative,

596
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 2: and I believe we will have the Sultan a smug

597
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 2: Dave Sineken, host of Packer Preview review on the podcast

598
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 2: in the Zone, Absolutely adorse. Anybody loves the team that

599
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 2: I loathe. You can hear him in the Border Battle

600
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 2: tomorrow nine to noon. Let's check out another talk back here.

601
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 7: Hey guys, Ben here, what a game that was.

602
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 17: That was really entertaining, really awesome to see, really encouraging

603
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 17: overall for JJ McCarthy. I'd like to see him throw

604
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 17: a little bit more touch on the ball than it's

605
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 17: so much fastball all the time. But I thought a

606
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 17: little bit of that sure, and I think just over

607
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 17: time hopefully that just develops as he gets older. But

608
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 17: you gotta love the grit that he played with. And

609
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 17: it is also nice se Van Ginkel and Blake Cash

610
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 17: and both playing up at together defense look really nice

611
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 17: today too.

612
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 11: Yeah.

613
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 2: I appreciate the talkback. Many more to play, keep them coming.

614
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 2: Ron Johnson is here, I'm Nordo from nine to noon.

615
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 2: You heard Max and you heard the Vikings win twenty

616
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 2: seven to twenty four on these airways. Paul Pete and

617
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 2: Lieber another perfect game, so to speak, on the broadcast.

618
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 2: Appreciate them for that.

619
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 18: Ron.

620
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 2: In that talkback they mentioned Andrew Van Ginkel Andrew Van

621
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 2: Ginkle's return to the mix. It just felt in some ways,

622
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 2: you know, specifically maybe, I mean, if we want to

623
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 2: dig into it, we can just say, wow, Jamiir Gibbs

624
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 2: two point eight yards per carry today. Wow, sixty five

625
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 2: yards total rushing allowed by the Vikings defense. All in all,

626
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 2: what did you see, whether it's from Van Ginkle's return.

627
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 2: I thought he started to impact the game almost immediately.

628
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 2: He was kind of putting his stamp on things, the

629
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 2: way that Flores was kind of mixing and disguising blitzes

630
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 2: where he kept I mean, Ivan pace was used very

631
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 2: effectively today. Eric Wilson found his way into the backfield

632
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 2: cashman as well and mentioned on that talkback, but just

633
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 2: what did you see from the defense and then mix

634
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 2: in a little bit of Van Ginkle specifically. Yeah, it's

635
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 2: called do your job.

636
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 6: You know, when Brian Flair at Flor's draw draws up

637
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 6: these zone dogs, these blitzes, all the stuff, do your job.

638
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 6: So whether it's Harrison Smith, don't leave too soon, it's

639
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 6: Josh Man, tell us make it look like it's cover four,

640
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,239
Speaker 6: cover two or something. And then we're gonna sneak one

641
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 6: of the safeties down, Harrison Smith, if you're coming off

642
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 6: the edge, wait until you know, like make it look

643
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 6: like something else. And you saw one of the ones,

644
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 6: the one where he kind of knocked it down. I

645
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:18,719
Speaker 6: think I tweeted the video, and I think I did.

646
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 6: I tweeted the video out of like Harrison Smith, and

647
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 6: I joked that Van Geek's probably saying, like, hey man,

648
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 6: I'd have been a pick six for me because Harrison

649
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 6: Smith had a beat on Golf and golf through it

650
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 6: and instead of trying to get to the quarterback, he's like,

651
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 6: let me time this up and knock it down. But

652
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 6: if you watch it pre snap, he's kind of Hollywood

653
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 6: in it. He's walking around, he's like standing around like

654
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 6: he's not gonna do anything, and he still comes the

655
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 6: next time he does the same exact thing, and then

656
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 6: he drops in the cover two. And so that's where

657
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 6: you kept Jared Golf on his toes or his heels,

658
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 6: where he's like, I don't know what's coming, And you

659
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 6: could tell at some point like that offensive line couldn't tell.

660
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 6: They didn't know if they were gonna twist. They didn't know,

661
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,479
Speaker 6: So much coming off the end. But the best thing

662
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 6: I saw was when you look at David gibbson Montgomery.

663
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 6: If you're gonna rush pressure up the middle and you

664
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 6: need a running back that can pick up the blitz,

665
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 6: it's not Gibbs.

666
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 2: He is not Jami.

667
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 6: Gibbs is not a blitz.

668
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 2: Did you see a play where Ivan Pace just knocked

669
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 2: Gibbs two yards back into Golf's lap.

670
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's what I mean. So the Viks did

671
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 6: a great job of that because now the Lions are like, crap,

672
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 6: we got to put Montgomery out there, and so you

673
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 6: lose the big catch, big playability of Gibbs because they

674
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 6: have to keep Montgomery out there just in case the

675
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 6: Vikers and everybody's like, man, I wish floors would stop blitzing.

676
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 2: I think what was it like sixty two percent.

677
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,479
Speaker 6: It was like a ridiculous number of pressures, and they

678
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 6: came after Jared Goff every single time. And but again

679
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 6: back to the zone dog with a twist, the two linebackers.

680
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 6: The first linebacker ran through that running back's face every time.

681
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 6: There was no backing down. There was no like we're

682
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 6: gonna get cute in ola and trying to make you

683
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 6: miss me. I'm gonna run through your face, and my

684
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 6: second guy is gonna beat your center and he's gonna

685
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 6: come next and get them. And that's what they were doing.

686
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 6: They were playing unselfish football. Nobody went after the ball

687
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 6: or sorry, went after the quarterback. If it wasn't their turn.

688
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 2: To the phone lines, let's check it out. Vikings win

689
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 2: twenty seven, twenty four Richard and Burnsville. Richard, Welcome to

Speaker 2: Sound great? Richard, wonderful man.

695
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 5: Man.

696
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 19: You pointed out during the week the first adversity we

697
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 19: seen Kaiost really go through this season, and I also thought.

698
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 5: You could put that with Bryan Flores.

699
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 19: I mean, after the last game, the way we got

700
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 19: ran all over, I mean, the talk was, I mean,

701
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 19: what's going on.

702
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 5: I just want to give a main shout out to

703
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 5: Brian Flores and the defense. They showed up.

704
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 19: They showed out and if they weren't making those stops,

705
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 19: it would have been a much harder game.

706
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 5: Jamie McCarthy looks wonderful, but a big shot up for

707
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 5: the defense. They played terrific. I'm really really excited. Let's

708
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 5: go baby before and four thank.

709
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 2: You, Let's go absolutely and then Brian Flora is abone

710
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 2: to pick with the Lions. I mean, nobody's gotten him

711
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 2: like Ben Johnson's team has gotten him over the course

712
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 2: of time. Ben Johnson now in Chicago, of course, a

713
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 2: lot of the same personnel healthy Aiden Hutchinson who made

714
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 2: his made his stamp on the game. But Flora showed

715
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 2: up and he beat Golf Ivan in San Diego. Ivan,

716
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 2: Welcome to Vikings fan line.

717
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 11: Hey, fellas, are we doing a wrong? First of all, Man,

718
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 11: you're my favorite Gopher. Go Gophers.

719
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 6: Appreciate it.

720
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 11: Oh was that that game at Ohio State when you

721
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 11: made that big catch in the corner One of the

722
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 11: greatest days of my life. But my question is, can

723
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 11: we get Miles Tyson balls on offense? Can we get

724
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 11: him in the slot? Chet sweeps screens, maybe a little

725
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 11: you know, maybe a little bit of a slot action

726
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 11: like Perscy Harvin. Why can't we get him involved that way?

727
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 2: I appreciate the call, Appreciate the question. What do you think,

728
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 2: Ron Well?

729
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 6: I just said that. I said, when we talked about

730
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 6: Miles pricing the kick return, I said, at some point

731
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 6: they're gonna have get him involved in the offense.

732
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 2: Can we can we just get him to you know,

733
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 2: have returns without flags.

734
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 6: We could try that. That's the first step.

735
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 2: That's the first step.

736
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 6: Step number two is I mean we saw what was

737
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 6: a Addison on the jet sweep?

738
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: Right?

739
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 2: Great run?

740
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, maybe Miles Price breaks that, you know that. I

741
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 6: mean what Aiden Hutchinson was what like an ankle tack

742
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 6: away from from him?

743
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 2: Scoring? Like the Price was actually faster than Addison.

744
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 6: I think, so, Okay, I think so, I don't know,

745
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 6: maybe I'm wrong, I'm just not I'm not run.

746
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 11: I think he is.

747
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 6: I think he is because I asked Price that when

748
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 6: I interviewed him earlier during training camp, like who was

749
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 6: the fastest? He said was him? So I think because

750
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 6: I asked him about him and Jalen Naylor racing, and

751
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 6: I think he said him Price faster even than speeding.

752
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 6: I think that's what he feels. I don't know if

753
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 6: it's true Naylor to lose that nickname, but no, I

754
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 6: think like the caller is right, like, I mean, there's

755
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 6: no reason not to try a jet sweet. But the

756
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 6: problem here's a problem. You can't just put him in

757
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 6: for that, Like you have to then work him into

758
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 6: the offense period, like he has to be out there

759
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 6: to maybe run some some hitches, some slats, some clear outs,

760
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 6: maybe some deep goals and just hey, you're gonna take

761
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 6: the top off the defense or deep post if they're

762
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 6: paying attention, is justin Jefson over out, you're on the

763
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 6: deep post.

764
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 2: Feels like a twenty twenty six.

765
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 6: Then there's saying there's a lot of miles to feed

766
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 6: on that offense right now, that it's gonna be tough

767
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 6: to get him in there. But you know, it always

768
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 6: helps every once in a while to have a gimmick

769
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 6: or two play for him if you're going to try it.

770
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 2: Bill and Iowa, Bill, welcome to Vikings fan line.

771
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 20: Hey, thank you. I just wanted to talk a little

772
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 20: bit about and they had person goal yeah on the

773
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 20: two yard line.

774
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 2: Uh, just.

775
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 20: The play where they ran out of bounds and do

776
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 20: an incomplete path. Yeah, I'm thinking they could have ran

777
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 20: another minute or two or you know, a minute minute

778
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 20: and twenty seconds off the clock kicked the field goal

779
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 20: went up my can and one that came down to

780
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 20: the great play from the McCarthy to New York to

781
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 20: win the game.

782
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying, no, I appreciate the call, Bill,

783
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 2: I actually I agree with you. Yeah, in the in

784
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 2: the end, they end up kicking the field goal anyway,

785
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 2: if they would have ran the ball a couple of

786
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 2: times there. From a clock management standpoint, at the least,

787
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 2: maybe you're forcing Detroit to burn some timeouts which they

788
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 2: did not do, or you're you're finding your way yes,

789
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 2: with significantly less time on the clock. Duke in Iowa.

790
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 2: Let's stay down in Iowa. Duke, welcome to Vikings fan line.

791
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 9: Yo yo, tell you what.

792
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 21: How about the run d today? Yeah, we got our

793
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 21: defensive line finally producing. We got our offensive line healthy upfront,

794
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 21: our big boys are doing what they need to do,

795
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,919
Speaker 21: and we're putting the effort in. If Ben Ginkle's back,

796
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 21: I don't know what. I don't know what it was,

797
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 21: but there was so much more effort today. Everybody worked

798
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 21: harder than normal today.

799
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 2: It felt like, No, I appreciate the call meeting this.

800
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 2: This is a team when we've seen them lose games

801
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 2: round they don't meet the challenge physically. And and you

802
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 2: actually you came out of the gates. I think when

803
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 2: you when you jumped in the chair there immediately talking

804
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 2: about the physicality of the game, and I thought the

805
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 2: Vikings met the moment today when that's actually been a

806
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 2: significant problem at times now mistackles, I mean, my goodness,

807
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 2: I think there were two or three l's on one

808
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 2: play where Grenard he's gonna get Goff Goff, Shimmy's out

809
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 2: of the way, so he misses the sack, throws it

810
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 2: maybe to Montgomery far side behind the line of scrimmage.

811
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 2: Bira Murphy Jr. I don't know if there's time in

812
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 2: a busy week to just specifically practice open field tackling,

813
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 2: but Biron Murphy's had some issues with that this year.

814
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 2: He had an issue on that play. Montgomery finds his

815
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 2: way from a tackle for loss to moving the chains

816
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 2: into the red zone. So there are moments like that,

817
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 2: getting you know, Laporta carrying people into the end zone.

818
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 2: Mattelis has been found. It feels like on a two

819
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 2: regular a basis. THEO Jackson got nicked up today, but

820
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 2: specifically in the defensive front for a group that has

821
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 2: been moved a lot this year in the wrong direction.

822
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 2: Man they showed up to and Jalen Redman, we can

823
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 2: keep fawning over him and apparently week to week he's

824
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 2: just like, well, I'm just gonna keep doing this. Actually,

825
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 2: this is not a flash in the pan. I'm just

826
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 2: going to be a really freaking good player for this team.

827
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:57,919
Speaker 2: And he did it again today.

828
00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 10: Yeah.

829
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 6: And the biggest thing is when you watch the number

830
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 6: of times i mean, it's not funny, but the number

831
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,240
Speaker 6: of times there were timeouts and it was Lions players

832
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 6: on the ground. You know, like we've seen those games

833
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 6: where the Vikings defense or the Vikings offense is just

834
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 6: getting absolutely killed and you're like, man, who else is

835
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 6: gonna get hurt? Like it felt like that for the Lions.

836
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 6: I know they felt that way where it's like he's down. Now,

837
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 6: he's down, Now he's getting carted off, his eye got

838
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,280
Speaker 6: poked out, like I mean, it was just the Vikings

839
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 6: defense was absolutely bringing like every piece of hat they

840
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 6: had and they were just wrapping up. But again, it

841
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 6: sets the tone early when like Eric Wilson runs through

842
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 6: a running back's face. It sets the tone, you know,

843
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 6: when Blake Cashman breaks through it and gets pressure, when

844
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 6: John death Grenard gets pressure, like we said, Hardgrave splitting

845
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 6: the double team getting to the running back early, not

846
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 6: just on the pass on the run, because that's where

847
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 6: everybody's questioning. They're like, oh, man, Harrison Phillips was a

848
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 6: great run stopper. We can't stop the run they were

849
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 6: getting through. And that again, I go back to Vikings

850
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 6: game day Live when we did sink or Seal and

851
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 6: everybody was all over, you know, the Lions scoring a

852
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 6: ton of points on the defense. I was the only

853
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,760
Speaker 6: one said, no, they're gonna keep them under thirty. Everybody

854
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 6: else was on Jamiir Gibbs or uh, it's going to

855
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 6: be a you know, not a one score game. I

856
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 6: was the only one, the only one that said it's

857
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 6: gonna be close. It's gonna be a one score game.

858
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 6: So the fact that they were able to do that

859
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 6: to these two running backs, I mean, it just showed that.

860
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 6: And I was so happy when it like it was

861
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 6: still like seventeen points. I'm like, there's no way to

862
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 6: get over thirty one with this. It was almost close, though.

863
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 6: I was like, oh my god, are they going to

864
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,320
Speaker 6: score at the end of this game and make it

865
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 6: thirty one or go, you know, go for two or

866
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 6: something so that the Vikings can't kick a field goal

867
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 6: to make it go over time or so. I mean,

868
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 6: it was just it was absolutely annoying.

869
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll be honest with you. I felt with

870
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 2: every bit of my soul. If they don't get that

871
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 2: third down there and we are punting, they're absolutely kicking

872
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 2: a field goal at the very minimum to tie it up,

873
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 2: to tie it up. Yeah, so I was hoping. I

874
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 2: was absolute shoulder though. Naylor though. The kid coming through though.

875
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 2: And that's part of a twenty seven to twenty four

876
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 2: Vikings victory at ford Field, first time they've won at

877
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 2: ford Field since twenty twenty, the twenty twenty season that is.

878
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 2: And getting some some stats and I haven't been able

879
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,280
Speaker 2: to confirm them, but they are from my boss, Chad Abbotts,

880
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 2: so we just naturally trust that they are accurate. The

881
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 2: last win at Detroit I mentioned it to twenty twenty season.

882
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 2: It was a January twenty one game, thirty seven, thirty five.

883
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 2: It feels like a like a four TD game for

884
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,720
Speaker 2: Kirk and maybe gosh, I think a couple of touchdowns

885
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 2: at the last time we saw Kyle Rudolph, last time

886
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 2: the Vikings held the Lions to under twenty eight points

887
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 2: in Detroit was a twenty seven to nine Romp in

888
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 2: December of twenty eighteen. So we've had trouble with that

889
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 2: offense for the last six seven years now, but we

890
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 2: found our way into the winner circle seven. What I

891
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,439
Speaker 2: still don't understand what that is. Max likes it. Max

892
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 2: is laughing.

893
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 6: I hope everybody driving listening is like, because you know

894
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 6: a lot of kids are listening. If they heard you

895
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 6: say six seven, six or seven times, like, oh, you

896
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:53,839
Speaker 6: definitely got hit with the sea.

897
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 2: So my kids are saying it, I don't. I'm just like,

898
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 2: all right, I don't. I don't get it, and then

899
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 2: I shrug and then they laugh. It's I can't win

900
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 2: with my kids sometimes. But the Vikings can win. How

901
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 2: about that? They can win at Ford Fields, massive underdogs,

902
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 2: and we're going to continue Vikings fan line phone calls

903
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 2: eight hundred three to two zero five three two six,

904
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,800
Speaker 2: texts and talkbacks continue on. Eventually we're gonna get some

905
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 2: Vikings overtime as well, I believe with Saucy and Max Fuller,

906
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 2: so we're gonna get to that. It's a fun Sunday.

907
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 2: But the Gophers winning wild getting off the schneid Wolves

908
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 2: handling business and Charlotte and the Vikings winning at Ford Field.

909
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 2: Kind of a cool weekend, very different one.

910
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 6: Uh, just saying to Michigan got dominated in football by

911
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 6: the State of Minnesota this weekend.

912
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 9: Yes they did.

913
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 2: Indeed did they.

914
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 6: Michigan State walked in here and walked out with a

915
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 6: nail and took Vikings and leaving with a w.

916
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 2: I let Detroit took a little more drama than it

917
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 2: needed to. Yester drama wins a win though. He gotta

918
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 2: get it absolutely, and we're going to return. This is

919
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 2: Vikings fan Line. Ron Johnson's here on Nordo, Max Fuller's here.

920
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:57,399
Speaker 2: It's Vikings fan line. This is Minnesota Vikings Football. It's

921
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,919
Speaker 2: the radio home of the Minnesota Fight.

922
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: I had one hundred point three KFA, Minnesota's home for football.

923
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 22: When you see a team face the adversity that our

924
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 22: team has faced, the injuries, the games that we have

925
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 22: lost them, the way we have lost them, the defense

926
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 22: not playing the way the defense has this has to

927
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 22: be exciting for all of us fans. JJ looked good.

928
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 22: JJ looked better. Their offense and defense had a huge

929
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 22: one eighty. This is a great turnaround. We got all

930
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:33,800
Speaker 22: these division games.

931
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 5: Let's go sweep it.

932
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 2: Let's go Sco Viking Vikings two and zero in the division,

933
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 2: by the way, as they beat the Detroit Lions at

934
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 2: Ford Field twenty seven to twenty four. The final Lions

935
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 2: fall to five and three Vikings. Now four and four.

936
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 2: I think the Bears are five and three packers. I

937
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,439
Speaker 2: don't know they got that weird tie and they don't

938
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 2: have it exactly in front of me. Maybe Max can

939
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 2: interrupt me in a couple seconds and tell me what

940
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 2: the Packs record is. Is it five five five one

941
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 2: with the tie? You lost to Carolina in your own building,

942
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 2: So just I mean, just think about that for a second.

943
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 2: To the talkback machine. Let's see here more talkbacks. And

944
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 2: we lost to the Falcons.

945
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,800
Speaker 23: One of my I thought was pretty darn good today.

946
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 23: A lot of people had written the mom he didn't

947
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 23: have great offensive line play for seven of those first

948
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 23: eight quarters that he played. Today the offensive line was

949
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 23: completely different, and we saw what JJ coun do. What

950
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 23: he's protected.

951
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I've I've talked about this, uh Ron,

952
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 2: I mean it's it's kind of and I say this

953
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 2: and then someone will snap back Lenny QB. You know,

954
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 2: if you protect him, he can make plays.

955
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 11: Uh.

956
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 2: There were still issues I think and sometimes JJ was

957
00:41:55,920 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 2: sacked five times today and several and I'll go back

958
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 2: and I'll watch the game again, as I always do.

959
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 2: I'm assuming most of them are either a decision he

960
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 2: didn't make. I mean there was one where he was

961
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 2: I mean he basically just gave up at the goal

962
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 2: line somehow was not tackled, but then tried to beat

963
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 2: a linebacker to the corner if you're remembering what I'm

964
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 2: talking about here, and then ultimately is sacked instead of

965
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 2: throwing the ball away. Correct, he did that twice. You

966
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,359
Speaker 2: lose four or five yards on that play, Hawkinson. By

967
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 2: the way, Hockinson get he got the touchdown? Love TJ Hawkinson.

968
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 2: That third down drop, Oh my goodness. And and by

969
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 2: the way, I don't even think it's a first down. No,

970
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 2: can we give Ryan right a little room? Correct? Is

971
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 2: that possible?

972
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 11: Please?

973
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 6: Our play maybe misses the tackle. It was only one

974
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 6: guy and.

975
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 2: Missing a tackle.

976
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 6: But to your point, though I tweeted, I'd literally tweeted.

977
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 6: I said, JJ McCarthy is young. He's gonna learn. Yeah,

978
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 6: when you break a tackle, once you get out of

979
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 6: the pocket, just heave it out of the mind. Shot,

980
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 6: Just go towards the yellow the orange flags that make

981
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 6: sure you get it in front of the line of

982
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 6: scrimmage and just heave it. You are out of the pocket.

983
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 6: There's no reason to try to break another tackle at

984
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 6: that point because then you still are, like I, manageable

985
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:14,760
Speaker 6: and you don't take an ill advised sack.

986
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 2: Bringing it around.

987
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 6: Though.

988
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:20,320
Speaker 2: Overall, I mean him playing with the preferred offensive line correct,

989
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 2: so much better. Oh yeah, Donavan Jackson.

990
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 6: I think again, as a first round pick, a lot

991
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,320
Speaker 6: of people forget how good he really is. Like you,

992
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 6: The only thing I think we saw today was one hold,

993
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 6: which you can't put that on him. One he's blocking

994
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 6: eight and Hutchinson and he's keeping eight and Hutchinson at

995
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 6: bay Man. What about that kick today though? Oh the

996
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 6: legs wheep, Yeah, that was Cobra Kaie.

997
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, but he went in with the

998
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 2: toe like it wasn't even. It wasn't even he went

999
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 2: in to go laces around him, which could potentially I mean,

1000
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 2: he went in with the cleat. Yeah, I mean that's

1001
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 2: let's come on, man, you guys used to be teammates.

1002
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 2: Cobra kai Maybe none of that matters. Maybe loyalty, no

1003
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 2: longer matters strike first, Yeah you don't, you don't.

1004
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,320
Speaker 6: I don't care. If it is your friend, you know,

1005
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 6: you take him out. But again I don't, you know.

1006
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 6: I think it was just second nature for him when

1007
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 6: he got because he was getting thrown a little bit

1008
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 6: by our by our offensive lineman.

1009
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 2: So I think I was doing work.

1010
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, his mind was just like, oh, I'm gonna just

1011
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,359
Speaker 6: flail my body and see what happens. And yeah, he got.

1012
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 6: He couldn't, he could. He contacted the quarterback, but they're like, dude,

1013
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:19,879
Speaker 6: you can control your leg keep them on the ground.

1014
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 2: No, he's a good player, I think. So the one

1015
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 2: here's what I'll say though, and it worked in our favor.

1016
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 2: I hate the rule where if a defensive lineman batclesight

1017
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 2: body weight thing, and I think that was Jack Campbell.

1018
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 2: I just hate that rule.

1019
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 6: I will say, if you watch the video back, Jack

1020
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 6: Campbell is like when he lands, he's on hands and knees,

1021
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,320
Speaker 6: like his chest doesn't land on Jajon McCarthy.

1022
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 2: I mean again, it's it's it's it's such a tough

1023
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 2: thing where you almost have to stand on principle. Yeah,

1024
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 2: even though it benefits you. I think that was a

1025
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:50,760
Speaker 2: terrible call. I hate that that exists.

1026
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 6: This was Lions fan line. We'd be screaming at the

1027
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 6: rest cheated and they screwed us over and let me h,

1028
00:44:58,320 --> 00:44:59,800
Speaker 6: the passing afferance at the end of the game.

1029
00:44:59,880 --> 00:45:00,439
Speaker 2: Was and called.

1030
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 6: I mean, now, I don't know if that was truly

1031
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:02,879
Speaker 6: a passing fair.

1032
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 2: Well, that's okay. So I want to get This is

1033
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 2: from Matt in the text line the non call on

1034
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:12,879
Speaker 2: Williams's touchdown, and we were kind of arguing. I thought

1035
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 2: it was flimsy, man. I didn't think it was as bad.

1036
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 2: If you're if you're honest about it, you did that

1037
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 2: a ton when you were playing, And I mean, he's

1038
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 2: the arms straight straight, I get it, but but I

1039
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 2: mean he wasn't he didn't knock the receiver over. I've

1040
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 2: seen that so many times. I would even liken the

1041
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 2: PI call on the tug, the tug of the jersey.

1042
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:38,479
Speaker 2: I think that was actually almost as egregious or as

1043
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 2: impactful as Williams's push off, right, I.

1044
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 8: Think it was.

1045
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 2: I didn't think it was a big deal. No, I

1046
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 2: didn't think it was bad.

1047
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 6: So the thing is a lot of times as a

1048
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 6: receiver we reached back to just feel where the DV

1049
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 6: is because you know the ball's in the air, and

1050
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 6: then he pulls his arm away to go try to

1051
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 6: make the catch. I think Isaiah Rodgers felt the resistance

1052
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 6: of the arm touch. And then because because I heard

1053
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 6: Ursus say trying to play it up a little bit,

1054
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 6: I think so he said his head snapped back. I'm like,

1055
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 6: I don't think it was a snapbag head type player

1056
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 6: and beat. Oh yeah, and he kind of did the

1057
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 6: like you know, but it was a little resistance that

1058
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 6: he couldn't get through that arm. Again, Smack the arm

1059
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 6: down like you're taught to when you're running. If you

1060
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 6: feel that you can, you can knock his hand.

1061
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 2: Off of you.

1062
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 6: Okay, the receiver can't feel it, right, Yeah, you can

1063
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 6: do this. You can knock it down, just like they

1064
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 6: call it chicken fighting. The other guy can knock his

1065
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 6: arm down, like if a DV does that to me,

1066
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 6: I can knock his arm down and go catch the ball.

1067
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 6: So that's not illegal to knock the arm down. It's

1068
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 6: illegal to push whole grab. But I can knock your

1069
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 6: arms off my chest, and you can knock my arms

1070
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 6: off your shoulder. That's the only thing I would have

1071
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,399
Speaker 6: said Isaiah Rodgers should have done, But I don't think

1072
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,760
Speaker 6: that was like offensive passing appearance like that's It wasn't

1073
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 6: a true like shove. It was just arms straight out.

1074
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 6: I'm trying to feel where the receiver the DB's at

1075
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 6: before I catch this ball, and I thought that's all

1076
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 6: it was.

1077
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 2: Let's take a call, Jay and Coon Rapids. Jay, Welcome

1078
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 2: to Vikings fan line. How's it going, boys, beautiful day.

1079
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 8: Good. I just wanted to say, at the end of

1080
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 8: the day, the kid had ups and downs, but we're

1081
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 8: going to expect that us winning games is always the

1082
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 8: number one goal by him getting progression at the end

1083
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:16,439
Speaker 8: of the day, for everybody, Minnesota fans included to bag

1084
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 8: on that kid for weeks and weeks and weeks, give

1085
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 8: him time, Let Koc do what he needs to do,

1086
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 8: and trust the process. At the end of the day,

1087
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 8: we're the fans. He's a lot smarter than we are.

1088
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 8: He knows what he's doing with the kid. Let Kate,

1089
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 8: let JJ do what he needs to do, and at

1090
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,359
Speaker 8: the end of the day it'll all work out. Man, school, baby,

1091
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 8: Let's go boys school. Thank you Jay.

1092
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know the ups and downs of his game

1093
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 2: today and so let's look. Let's just look at the

1094
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 2: stat line here, Ron fourteen to twenty five buck forty

1095
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 2: three had the two tds, had the one pick because

1096
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:51,800
Speaker 2: he threw it behind Naylor, and I forget who the

1097
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 2: wide the defender was, but he ripped it out of there.

1098
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 2: He was sacked five times. Gets the TD on the

1099
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 2: ground as well. I'm just kind of all opinions are welcome,

1100
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 2: but I get a couple of texts here, Like Kyle,

1101
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 2: for instance, averaging one hundred and forty yards of passing

1102
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 2: yards is not sustainable throughout a seventeen game season. I

1103
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:14,359
Speaker 2: respect JJ's talent, but how do we win without moving

1104
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 2: the ball through the air. Mason can't carry this team

1105
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 2: on his back. I simultaneously agree with you, Kyle, But

1106
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 2: and then I got this other text, JJ fourteen to

1107
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 2: twenty five hundred and forty three yards yawn, awful from

1108
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 2: an NFL QB. I'm trying the it's his third game,

1109
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 2: it's his third start in the NFL. The entire purpose

1110
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 2: of this exercise, well, the very first purpose is to

1111
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 2: win games. Vikings accomplish that check that box. But really,

1112
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 2: at a grand scheme, this kid is not going to

1113
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 2: go for three hundred and three every week until he

1114
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 2: finds his way through games like this, until he finds

1115
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,879
Speaker 2: his way through games like Soldier Field opening Night where

1116
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 2: he throws a pick six, just complete boneheaded throw right,

1117
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 2: and we can, you know, justin Jeffers and can try

1118
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 2: to take blame for the route or anything like that,

1119
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 2: just like a boneheaded throw. And to Sean Wright, who

1120
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 2: has no business getting pick sixes, gets a pick six.

1121
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 2: He actually has to be on the freaking field getting reps,

1122
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 2: playing games, winning games, losing games, making mistakes, building and

1123
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,799
Speaker 2: growing to get to a point where it's not one

1124
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 2: hundred and forty three yards a game. And we're yawning

1125
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 2: awful stats for an NFL QB like this is his

1126
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 2: third game. What can we expect? I think a lot

1127
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 2: of what we saw today for a top ten pick

1128
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:33,800
Speaker 2: is what we should expect. Some incredibly nice throws, incredibly accurate,

1129
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 2: good decision making, inaccurate throws, took some sacks that he

1130
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 2: shouldn't have taken, rose to the occasion in the moment

1131
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 2: that he needed to dagger Naylor on a third down,

1132
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 2: and we're walking out winners like I think that roller

1133
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 2: coaster ride. If we can remind ourselves that it's just

1134
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 2: his third game. Sadly, due to all these injuries, the

1135
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 2: two injuries substantial as they were, I think we have

1136
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 2: to remind ourselves of that that it is just his

1137
00:49:58,840 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 2: third game.

1138
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, he again the Fadu're oute to Justin Jefferson.

1139
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 6: That's one percent touch, that's one hundred percent timing. That's

1140
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 6: letting the ball when you're supposed to go. That's understanding

1141
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 6: the call, and like, okay, this is where I'm going.

1142
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 6: Like I said in the play breakdown we did. That

1143
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 6: was the biggest thing, is like make that count count

1144
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 6: to the left, how many dbs, how many receivers count

1145
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 6: to the right, how many dbs? How many receivers? You

1146
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 6: pick the best matchup when you see it the pick

1147
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 6: six against the Bears, right, I talked about that one.

1148
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 6: If he throws the corner route to Jalen Naylor, it's

1149
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 6: a touchdown. He throws it across the field to an

1150
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 6: out to the sticks, and the dB was just sitting

1151
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 6: there like, look, I know you're going to just Jefferson

1152
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:39,319
Speaker 6: or Addison whoever it was at the stay. I think

1153
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 6: it was jeff Jefferson at the sticks. Throw it to Naylor.

1154
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 6: It's a touchdown. What does he do today? He throws

1155
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 6: the deep corner route to Addison because he's like, look,

1156
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 6: if I throw this out route, somebody's waiting because they

1157
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 6: know it's one where the sticks are two. I'm rolling

1158
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 6: out and this is probably my only two options. Take

1159
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 6: the one on one down the field shot. And I

1160
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 6: think that's what he's learned, is like, I don't always

1161
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 6: have to take this short like, okay, throw I can

1162
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 6: take the d ball, but I have to get rid

1163
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 6: of the ball. And that's the other part of it.

1164
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 6: You can't hold it and hope he's wide open. The

1165
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,439
Speaker 6: fate route, you can't throw it hoping he's wide open.

1166
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:15,359
Speaker 6: Throw it to a spot where he can make the play.

1167
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 6: The fight route, throw it to a spot where he

1168
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 6: can make the play. I think that's what we saw

1169
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,399
Speaker 6: in the arm talent that they were hoping that he has.

1170
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 6: He has it now, it's he needs game reps and

1171
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:26,799
Speaker 6: he has one more week against the Ravens and he'll

1172
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 6: have another week after that.

1173
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 2: You know, he just has to stay healthy. And I

1174
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 2: think offense line has to stay healthy. Offensive line needs

1175
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 2: to stay healthy. He needs to continue improving on getting

1176
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 2: the ball out. There were a few moments today actually

1177
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:39,280
Speaker 2: where you saw him scan and you could almost feel

1178
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 2: there was a frenetic pace to him, like, okay, I

1179
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,320
Speaker 2: got to get rid of it. He found Aaron Jones

1180
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 2: over the middle early on in the game after going

1181
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 2: through his progressions, and then he took some sacks, and

1182
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 2: then he made some throws. Then he missed some throws,

1183
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:54,440
Speaker 2: and then he made one that counted and helped the

1184
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:56,879
Speaker 2: team win the game. The roller coaster is real, There's

1185
00:51:56,920 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 2: no doubt about it. Trying to compare his stay his

1186
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 2: stats today, I mean by the way, I mean, how

1187
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 2: many drives was he starting? And he started I believe

1188
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 2: at least two possessions in Lions territory, So we didn't

1189
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 2: need and if we're running the ball effectively, we're going

1190
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 2: to keep doing it. So give the kid a chance

1191
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 2: to grow before we start leveling his stats against. What

1192
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:21,360
Speaker 2: are we watching, mahomes and and and mister Allen on

1193
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 2: the on the TV in front of us. It's Vikings fanline.

1194
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 2: We're going to continue on. I got some more talkbacks,

1195
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 2: dialed up text messages. Vikings win twenty seven to twenty

1196
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 2: four hand full. More segments from us, and then we're

1197
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 2: going to toss the baton to meet Sauce and Max Fuller.

1198
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 2: They're going to continue on via Vikings Overtime. Vikings now

1199
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 2: four and four Ravens around the corner. But for now,

1200
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,399
Speaker 2: Ron Johnson and I continuing to take your takes from

1201
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 2: today's game. This is Vikings Fan Line on Kfan and

1202
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Vikings Radio Network from Minnesota Sports the Leader.

1203
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 2: Minnesota Sports Leader is FM one hundred point three.

1204
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 6: Day FXM ME at Saint Paul.

1205
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 11: Ayden Nordo.

1206
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 18: A Ron justin here from Iowa hit the cap to KOC.

1207
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 18: He had some really good play designs. One was, you know,

1208
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 18: Aaron Jones. Everybody goes right, but Aaron Jones left the streets,

1209
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 18: down the sideline. He just had a couple. There was

1210
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 18: one other one I can't remember him topping my head,

1211
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 18: but had a couple of really creative play calls where

1212
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:33,840
Speaker 18: it's like, oh, last nice to see, yeah kind of

1213
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 18: what you got.

1214
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I appreciate the talk back nineteen carries between Jones

1215
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:43,959
Speaker 2: and Mason for one hundred and fourteen yards. You also

1216
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 2: add in the let me see here, up up up

1217
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 2: Jordan Addison, who was a sixteen yards jet sweep JJ

1218
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 2: nine carries mostly unproductive twelve yards, but he did have

1219
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:59,800
Speaker 2: Russian TD which was very productive and all part of it.

1220
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 2: Twenty seven to twenty four Vikings victory at Ford Field today.

1221
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:05,839
Speaker 2: Vikings beat the Lions there for the first time since

1222
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty season, and it's the first time that

1223
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:11,320
Speaker 2: Kevin O'Connell has won in Detroit as well. So we

1224
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 2: dig all that teams for and four Ron Johnson is

1225
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 2: with me, Nordo, Ron, you were reading something from Tom Pelsaro.

1226
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:20,240
Speaker 2: So Aaron Jones the crux of that talkback how productive

1227
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 2: he was today? Eight point seven a clip for him,

1228
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 2: just the nine carries, but seventy eight total yards including

1229
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:28,359
Speaker 2: a thirty one yard burst. He also had a nice

1230
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 2: catch and run for let me see here. I think

1231
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 2: it was a fourteen yarder that he had as well,

1232
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:36,720
Speaker 2: but a couple of catches for Aaron Jones. So ninety

1233
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 2: eight total yards of offense for him. However, there was

1234
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 2: a shoulder what's up with the shoulder? Yeah, so Tom Pelisaro.

1235
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 6: So Tom Pelisero tweeted Vikings running back Aaron Jones, who's

1236
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 6: been dominating early in Detroit before leaving the game suffered

1237
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:51,360
Speaker 6: an ac joint spring, but believes it's minor and he

1238
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 6: believes he will play next week. Oh okay, so yeah,

1239
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 6: I dig that. And the good thing is this no

1240
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 6: Thursday night game, whereas now it's Thursday. To you know,

1241
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 6: it's no short week the regular weeks. We gets five

1242
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 6: five to six full days to rest it before he

1243
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:08,000
Speaker 6: has to get So I guess is all week he'll

1244
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:11,800
Speaker 6: be limited to no participant and then Saturday they'll you know,

1245
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 6: ramp it up and see what he can do, and

1246
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:14,360
Speaker 6: then you know they'll.

1247
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:17,800
Speaker 2: Have to make a decision limited, limited, full. That's what

1248
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 2: we want to see for mister Jones talkback machine.

1249
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 24: I want to go back to that fourth quarter in

1250
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 24: Chicago and McCarthy said to the team, is there anywhere

1251
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 24: that you'd rather be? And you see today on his

1252
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 24: face every play, win, loser, draw, he's got a smile

1253
00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 24: on his face. He plays the game with joy, and

1254
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 24: I just think that that's infectious and it's really going

1255
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:43,479
Speaker 24: to help with this team.

1256
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:46,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I dig that. Thanks for the talkback.

1257
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 20: JJ.

1258
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 25: McCarthy made a lot of bad decisions today, damn, but

1259
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:57,879
Speaker 25: he also played really well. If this is the way

1260
00:55:57,920 --> 00:55:59,800
Speaker 25: he's going to play the rest of his career, you know,

1261
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 25: but yet clean up those mistakes.

1262
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 2: This is awesome. This is all he could ever asked for.

1263
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 2: He did a great job today. Good for him, Yeah,

1264
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 2: I appreciate it.

1265
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 9: Yeah.

1266
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 2: Good for Vikings fans who wanted to have been waiting

1267
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:14,319
Speaker 2: to freaking see this and they finally got to see

1268
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 2: it today.

1269
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:18,399
Speaker 6: Hey, Ortal, Hey Nate, this game will change the whole

1270
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:19,720
Speaker 6: narrative of the Viking season.

1271
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:24,800
Speaker 2: Have good day. It could now that you know that.

1272
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 2: That's the toughest thing about this because at the Friday

1273
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:29,480
Speaker 2: Feast round, I'm kind of like, this is It feels

1274
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,440
Speaker 2: in some ways like an if not now when? And

1275
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 2: the injuries have plagued the team, and just the problems

1276
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:37,319
Speaker 2: that they've had in certain areas certainly and help spend

1277
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 2: the dominant talker, and it's frustrated in the end. You're

1278
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 2: watching other teams succeed with injuries and you're just thinking, well, well,

1279
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 2: why can't my team do some of that? And then

1280
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 2: we're watching special teams, penalties, pre snap issues, the whole thing.

1281
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 2: But it kind of felt, you know, like the dam

1282
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 2: had to break, right because even in their previous three losses,

1283
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 2: whether it was Philly, it was the Falcons, it was

1284
00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:59,800
Speaker 2: the Steelers game that you're in those games you have

1285
00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 2: a chance to win. You just got to execute on

1286
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:04,839
Speaker 2: XYZ drive. Vikings weren't able to do it. They lose

1287
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 2: those three games. There was nothing about there was no

1288
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:11,919
Speaker 2: chance in that game where the Vikings were in that game.

1289
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 2: As soon as that pick six didn't go the right

1290
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:18,480
Speaker 2: way for US fourteen plays whatever it was, eighty some

1291
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 2: yards touchdown, game was effectively over. Yeah, they mopped the

1292
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 2: floor with you at so far. So it was just

1293
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 2: kind of hoping that the damn breaks so fast forward

1294
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 2: you get the baby by and now JJ Take two

1295
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five edition looks pretty good ups and downs

1296
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 2: roller coaster as we mentioned, and you get to win.

1297
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 2: Can this be a narrative changer because it kind of

1298
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 2: feels like now you put you're at a crossroads where certainly,

1299
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 2: if not now win, but now that you did it,

1300
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 2: you can't be scared of Lamar and company coming into town.

1301
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 2: Now you have to be game against figuring out the

1302
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 2: beast that is Derrick Henry and figure out the enigmatic

1303
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,200
Speaker 2: way that Lamar Jackson plays the sport of football. Like

1304
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 2: now you have to handle the Ravens at home, you

1305
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:03,720
Speaker 2: know what I mean? I mean, it's cool that you

1306
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 2: won this game onto the next one as the NFL

1307
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 2: season and calendar goes.

1308
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean when you think about the Ravens, you

1309
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 6: look at this, I mean, the Dolphins are absolutely horrible.

1310
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:16,240
Speaker 6: So can you use this game as film study to

1311
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 6: face the Ravens?

1312
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 11: See?

1313
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 2: Isn't that great the difference? So you get you get

1314
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 2: waxed at so far by the Charger?

1315
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 1: Yep.

1316
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 2: Is there any better example this season of a team

1317
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 2: that quit than what you watch from the Dolphins the

1318
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 2: other night? Yeah, but that was embarrassingly bad. They do

1319
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 2: not want to do anything for Mike McDaniel anymore. Yeah,

1320
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 2: he's still coaching the team.

1321
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, even the I mean the coach that went off

1322
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 6: on the player that it was not even a penalty,

1323
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:40,880
Speaker 6: you know, the coach that the special teams play. He's

1324
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 6: like yelling at the guy and then everybody played it

1325
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 6: back and they're like, dude, he didn't even do anything.

1326
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 6: The rest just screwed it up. And you look at this,

1327
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 6: Derrick Henry one hundred nineteen yards. You look at Lamar

1328
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 6: Jackson four touchdowns, right, A lot of it is Lamar's

1329
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 6: ability to use his legs make you stand steel and

1330
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 6: then he just drops it off. So again it's gonna

1331
00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 6: come down to man, they won our tight ends well,

1332
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 6: Mike Andrews, Mark Andrews is so I mean, but for

1333
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 6: Brian Flores, this is gonna be one of those games

1334
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 6: where he's either gonna live or die by making this

1335
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 6: quarterback uncomfortable because if you miss, you are done. Like

1336
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 6: if you shoot your bullet and you you do not

1337
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 6: get home to Lamar Jackson's response, you are done. And

1338
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 6: that's that's the thing. If you know, I forgot what

1339
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 6: movie it was, but it's like if you take a

1340
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 6: shot at the King, you better not miss. Like if

1341
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 6: you take a shot, you cannot miss Lamar Jackson. But

1342
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 6: then you do have to stop the run with Derrick Henry.

1343
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:33,200
Speaker 6: And so when you saw today the physicality, that's what

1344
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:35,960
Speaker 6: it's gonna require. That's same put your face mask in

1345
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 6: somebody else's face mask, that same. You know, gang tackle,

1346
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 6: everybody hit the guy three to four times. You're gonna

1347
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 6: have to make sure dere because Ryan Clark talked about that,

1348
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 6: like what's the best way to stop Derick Henry? You

1349
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:47,880
Speaker 6: get to him before he gets to twenty miles an hour.

1350
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:49,440
Speaker 6: You got to get him in the hole, like you

1351
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 6: cannot let him break through that line because then he's

1352
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 6: a monster and it's hard to get him down. I

1353
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 6: think that's what this Viking's team but it is. It

1354
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:58,360
Speaker 6: feels like a turning point. It feels like JJ McCarthy

1355
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 6: does give that team hope, does give him that ability.

1356
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:02,440
Speaker 2: Like the fact that he did that at the end

1357
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 2: of that game.

1358
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 6: That's one of those are the de's gonna say, Man,

1359
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 6: if we can just get this guy the ball back,

1360
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 6: he can ice it for us, you know. And that's

1361
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 6: the difference. And and I say, Carson Wentz, but maybe

1362
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 6: he doesn't make that throw. Maybe, like you said, then

1363
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 6: they have to punt. And then you're sitting back like

1364
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 6: Jered Goff, please don't beat us into this game. And

1365
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 6: that's what, you know, that's what everything everybody was thinking,

1366
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 6: like it's not over to the clock says zero and

1367
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 6: they finally got to it.

1368
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 2: Well, here's the deal, Okay, you're totally right, first of all, excited,

1369
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 2: and we're gonna pause and we're gonna say good night

1370

1411
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 2: Vikings victorious over the Detroit Lions. Man, it's been so

1412
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 2: long since the Purple won in Detroit five years in

1413
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:02,480
Speaker 2: the end of the twenty twenty season the last time

1414
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:06,000
Speaker 2: the Vikings came home from Motown with a w, and

1415
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:09,400
Speaker 2: it felt good. It was needed, as the Vikings improved

1416
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:12,480
Speaker 2: a four and four, Lions falling to five and three

1417
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 2: in a incredibly muddy NFC North. The Packers lost at

1418
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 2: home to Carolina today. Bears had I mean, what I mean,

1419
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:22,720
Speaker 2: just a miracle spot. I don't know if you saw

1420
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:26,000
Speaker 2: that Ron Colston Loveland bouncing off of safety. Yeah, yeah,

1421
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:29,120
Speaker 2: and that's after the Flacco and the Bengals had gotten

1422
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 2: the on side kicked. They the tackle, take the tackle,

1423
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:36,880
Speaker 2: but they're five and three and uh and the Packers

1424
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:39,720
Speaker 2: or five two. I mean, he's speaking of Michigan. Another

1425
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:42,800
Speaker 2: Michigan grid tight end from Michigan Loveland. You got JJ

1426
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 2: McCarthy ball and now you got Agent Hudsd's a low

1427
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:46,960
Speaker 2: cry baby, but you know he'll get through it. Yeah,

1428
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 2: he was.

1429
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:52,880
Speaker 26: Actually did you see Connor Stallions tweet today at Connor Stallions, He's, uh,

1430
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:55,800
Speaker 26: you know what he's doing is he's fighting controversy by

1431
01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:58,840
Speaker 26: just pushing forward as if it's not there.

1432
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 6: Well, because I tweeted about him and I just joked saying, like,

1433
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:03,480
Speaker 6: I wonder who he tried to help the most this

1434
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 6: week eight and Hudgesson or JJ McCarthy with like footage

1435
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:08,320
Speaker 6: he had filmed with the Vikings and Lions, and then

1436
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:09,880
Speaker 6: he had the nerve And I mean it wasn't because

1437
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 6: of me, but he just tweeted. So a couple of

1438
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:13,680
Speaker 6: people like sit in me his tweet like he actually

1439
01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:16,480
Speaker 6: was saying that the Vikings, if they could keep him upright,

1440
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:18,560
Speaker 6: look how good your top ten pick quarterback can be.

1441
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 6: It's like, also, Connor, you did help him by telling

1442
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:23,800
Speaker 6: him exactly what Ohio State was gonna line up in.

1443
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:26,880
Speaker 6: So let's relax on the tweets to.

1444
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:30,080
Speaker 2: The talkback machine. Well, actually, let's do this. Let's jump

1445
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:32,080
Speaker 2: into the phone lines. A few short segments here of

1446
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:34,919
Speaker 2: fan line remaining before we passed the baton to Meat Sauce,

1447
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 2: Paul Lambert, Max Fuller Vikings overtime right around the corner

1448
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 2: around five point thirty, but Chris in Minneapolis Chris, Welcome

1449
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 2: to Vikings fan line.

1450
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:45,880
Speaker 9: Hey, gentlemen, how are we doing on good w today?

1451
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:46,640
Speaker 2: Beautiful day?

1452
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 9: Awesome? I would say some kind of interesting to get

1453
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 9: your guys thoughts on. I know the special team is

1454
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:55,640
Speaker 9: really outperformed way by than expectations, but how about us

1455
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 9: stop in Montgomery and Gibbs, I mean kind of solid.

1456
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 9: We looked a little a swiss chet the last few weeks.

1457
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:03,080
Speaker 9: But why did you think that maybe is a fluke

1458
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:04,840
Speaker 9: for going to next week? If kind of the rubber

1459
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:08,080
Speaker 9: beats the road for Lamar Jackson and Henry and if

1460
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:12,320
Speaker 9: with something of a continuation or maybe so much good

1461
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:12,880
Speaker 9: thing right now?

1462
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:16,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I appreciate the call, Chris. Yeah, shutting down and

1463
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:19,240
Speaker 2: shutting him down in a big way. Gibbs like two

1464
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 2: point let me find it here, two point eight yards

1465
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:23,040
Speaker 2: per carry. Just had nine on the day for twenty

1466
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 2: five yards. Montgomery mildly more effective eleven for forty including

1467
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 2: a short rushing TD, but sixty five yards rushing total

1468
01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 2: for the Detroit Lions. And I believe that there was

1469
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 2: some stab PA was thrown around last week somewhere in

1470
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:39,640
Speaker 2: the neighborhood. Let's call it like the last five or

1471
01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:41,480
Speaker 2: six games because the Vikings had lost five in a

1472
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:43,720
Speaker 2: row to the Lions. It was something like they were

1473
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:47,240
Speaker 2: averaging a buck forty a game against against the Vikings.

1474
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:49,040
Speaker 2: They were running for a buck forty on our team,

1475
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:52,920
Speaker 2: and Gibbs, by all accounts a touch I mean, just

1476
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:56,840
Speaker 2: absolute whatever. Anytime TD, whatever prop there is out there

1477
01:05:56,880 --> 01:05:59,400
Speaker 2: in Vegas or on an app, just run it up,

1478
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 2: because he will score a touchdown against the Vikings, completely

1479
01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:05,960
Speaker 2: neutralizing the run game today. And maybe if if you

1480
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:08,080
Speaker 2: want to reiterate in some ways, but I think it

1481
01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:10,440
Speaker 2: goes down to what you were talking about early on

1482
01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:12,840
Speaker 2: in fan line, just the physicality of this Vikings defense

1483
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:13,520
Speaker 2: meeting the moment.

1484
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean that's the thing about the Lions. I

1485
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:17,800
Speaker 6: mean Dan Campbell with the kneecap stuff and all that.

1486
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:19,520
Speaker 6: I mean, it was it was just a way to

1487
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:21,600
Speaker 6: tell people like, we're gonna be true blue collar guys.

1488
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:24,240
Speaker 6: We're gonna absolutely hit people in the mouth. We're gonna

1489
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 6: play with aggression, We're gonna we're gonna try to bully you.

1490
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:27,680
Speaker 6: I mean, if you think about it, like they wanted

1491
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:30,040
Speaker 6: to play like the Eagles, Eagles offensive line when Jason

1492
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:33,040
Speaker 6: Kelsey was their same thing they were. It was bully football.

1493
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:35,080
Speaker 6: We're gonna run the ball down your throat. We're gonna push,

1494
01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 6: push until you stop it. We're gonna absolutely just be

1495
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:40,000
Speaker 6: in their defense with Brandon Graham and all those guys.

1496
01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:42,560
Speaker 6: So the Lions had that and the Vikings today Brian

1497
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:45,080
Speaker 6: floor is again, I don't know if it's what he said.

1498
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 6: I don't know if it's getting guys back, I don't

1499
01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:49,560
Speaker 6: I don't know what it was, but you could tell

1500
01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:51,600
Speaker 6: they had a mindset like you can see it with

1501
01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:53,360
Speaker 6: Hargraves set in the temple. You can see what Eric

1502
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 6: Wilson sat in the temple like. They had an absolute

1503
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:58,200
Speaker 6: like let's get after this guy and try to and

1504
01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 6: and even the some the deep passes, you know, they

1505
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:04,000
Speaker 6: were making the tackle and still hit those guys down

1506
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:05,680
Speaker 6: the field like it wasn't like let me just let

1507
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:07,280
Speaker 6: this guy laid out, Like no, I'm gonna hit you,

1508
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:09,200
Speaker 6: I'm gonna take your legs from under you. I'm gonna

1509
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:10,480
Speaker 6: do whatever I gotta do to make sure you know

1510
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 6: I'm here. And I think that helped down the stretch

1511
01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:14,880
Speaker 6: because Golf kind of like some of his throws, he

1512
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:16,440
Speaker 6: was second guess and if you should throw it here

1513
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 6: if he should do this, and that was allowed on

1514
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:19,200
Speaker 6: the defensive line to get to him.

1515
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you could just look at he was twenty

1516
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 2: five at thirty seven, still pretty darn efficient for in

1517
01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 2: terms of passing overall, ye gets to two tds. But

1518
01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 2: he was sacked five times today, weirding completions. This is

1519
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:36,440
Speaker 2: a guy and I'm gonna scramble on the fly here

1520
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 2: to do. I think he came into the game with

1521
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:45,280
Speaker 2: a seventy four ish percent completion percentage, which is I mean,

1522
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:49,840
Speaker 2: absolutely insane by his standards. And today twenty five at

1523
01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:52,680
Speaker 2: thirty seven, what do we got here? He was sixty

1524
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:54,640
Speaker 2: while he's still sixty seven percent, I mean, that's still

1525
01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:57,320
Speaker 2: pretty darn good. But he was sacked five times. He

1526
01:07:57,480 --> 01:08:00,400
Speaker 2: was under siege a lot that forced you know, in

1527
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 2: a day where maybe you're thinking, hey, Jamison Williams, let's

1528
01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:06,440
Speaker 2: let's exploit what we've seen from the Viking secondary in

1529
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:09,360
Speaker 2: recent weeks. Let's try to push this ball downfield. No

1530
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 2: chance really for explosions, explosives save for a couple of

1531
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:15,600
Speaker 2: moments that became explosive because of our lack of tackling.

1532
01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:18,720
Speaker 2: No chance for him to really dominate this game in

1533
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:23,320
Speaker 2: totality in lieu of that rushing game. Terrific, terrific game

1534
01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:24,240
Speaker 2: plan by Flores.

1535
01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:27,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that was the thing. Jamison Williams, jam or

1536
01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:30,599
Speaker 6: Jamiir Gibbs, like they were home run hitters.

1537
01:08:30,760 --> 01:08:31,600
Speaker 2: We know that, you know.

1538
01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:34,320
Speaker 6: And I think the Lions offensive coordinator, again he's new,

1539
01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:36,280
Speaker 6: doesn't have Ben Johnson, doesn't have the trick plays, you

1540
01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:39,160
Speaker 6: don't have the gimmicky stuff. And he said, we have

1541
01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 6: to get Jamison Williams involved in his offense. We have

1542
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:44,960
Speaker 6: not done him a done him justice by the way

1543
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:46,840
Speaker 6: we're using him. But the problem is when you're a

1544
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:49,600
Speaker 6: new offensive coordinator, you're trying to figure it out, like

1545
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:51,040
Speaker 6: you're trying to figure out what is what is the

1546
01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:53,800
Speaker 6: identity of my offense. I can't do what Ben Johnson did.

1547
01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:55,360
Speaker 6: I'm not going to sit up here and try to

1548
01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:59,479
Speaker 6: design all these play action trick plays and you know,

1549
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:01,920
Speaker 6: bring down Skipp her in eight to ten times. Again,

1550
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 6: that's not my offense. And so he's trying to find

1551
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:07,360
Speaker 6: his way as well. But but it just it it

1552
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:10,000
Speaker 6: goes back to again, I think not being able to

1553
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:12,439
Speaker 6: keep Tamir Gibs on the field because the Vikings pass

1554
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:16,240
Speaker 6: Russ was absolutely demolishing them. That limited the amount of

1555
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:17,800
Speaker 6: ways they could use them. Like it was either like,

1556
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:19,240
Speaker 6: if we bring them in, we gotta run. But when

1557
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:21,880
Speaker 6: we got to pass, if they show a blitz where

1558
01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:23,840
Speaker 6: the running back can't run out for a route, I

1559
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:25,840
Speaker 6: have to keep them in the game. And he's like,

1560
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:28,200
Speaker 6: he's not helping me. So he had to get him out.

1561
01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:30,160
Speaker 6: And now you got Montgomery in the game, who's a

1562
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:33,000
Speaker 6: better blocker but not a better weapon down the field

1563
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:35,400
Speaker 6: with catching balls and getting loose, and I think that

1564
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 6: limited his usage today. That that was the big key

1565
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:41,559
Speaker 6: for the Vikings is let's limit Gibbs because that's where

1566
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:44,559
Speaker 6: they they it's rocked, you know whatever, thunder Lightning, whatever

1567
01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:48,200
Speaker 6: they want to call themselves, Sonic and Knuckles. Sonic and Knuckles, Yeah, right,

1568
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:50,600
Speaker 6: like they It's just he wasn't able to do that,

1569
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:52,479
Speaker 6: and I think that helped out. Now at then the

1570
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:54,479
Speaker 6: game they had the the you know, Williams got involved

1571
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:56,080
Speaker 6: in the game, but it was too little, too late,

1572
01:09:56,120 --> 01:09:57,240
Speaker 6: which was great for the Vikings.

1573
01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:03,400
Speaker 27: Heard you mentioned, you know onto the next game. That's great,

1574
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:06,400
Speaker 27: you did it this time, Let's see you do it again.

1575
01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:10,479
Speaker 27: I think there's nothing but confidence for the guys in

1576
01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:12,639
Speaker 27: the locker room to be able to do that. After

1577
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 27: today's performance, the defense did wonderful. A couple of bad

1578
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:19,400
Speaker 27: special teams penalties stopped it from being almost a blowout

1579
01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:21,519
Speaker 27: of a game. But they should all be able to

1580
01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:23,800
Speaker 27: look at JJ and say, yeah, this.

1581
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:24,320
Speaker 5: Is our guy.

1582
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:26,880
Speaker 27: We can rally behind this and we can win with this.

1583
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:27,960
Speaker 11: Yeah.

1584
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:29,240
Speaker 2: Is there is there something to be said?

1585
01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:29,439
Speaker 11: Ron?

1586
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:31,800
Speaker 2: I mean just from a confidence week to week. I mean,

1587
01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:34,120
Speaker 2: you guys are all high end athletes in this locker room.

1588
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:35,680
Speaker 2: You don't need to be told that you're good at

1589
01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:37,960
Speaker 2: what you do, but maybe sometimes you need to see

1590
01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 2: the result right, and you know the way, whether it's

1591
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:43,439
Speaker 2: you can take and make a mountain out of a

1592
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:46,519
Speaker 2: mole hill when it comes to like some online trash talk, right,

1593
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:48,280
Speaker 2: you know, a little chip on the shoulder and you

1594
01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:51,519
Speaker 2: can make it a crevice. Similarly, can you build from

1595
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 2: a game like today? You know, again the narrative changer

1596
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:56,800
Speaker 2: what I was talking about earlier, if not now, when

1597
01:10:56,960 --> 01:10:59,120
Speaker 2: I mean going to Ford Field doing something like this.

1598
01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:03,400
Speaker 2: You know that's obviously a confidence builder, but but it's

1599
01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:05,360
Speaker 2: got to be something for some of these guys whether

1600
01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:08,919
Speaker 2: it's hard grave you think about, you know JJ McCarthy

1601
01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:11,519
Speaker 2: take two. You know some of these guys out there like,

1602
01:11:11,560 --> 01:11:14,519
Speaker 2: oh yeah, that's right. I remember, I do play this

1603
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:16,320
Speaker 2: game at a high level, and to be able to

1604
01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:18,760
Speaker 2: see the result so much more different than maybe just

1605
01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:21,400
Speaker 2: even competing in this game, getting over the top and

1606
01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:24,000
Speaker 2: finding the win and using that to move forward.

1607
01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:24,240
Speaker 12: Right.

1608
01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:26,519
Speaker 6: Yeah, so again one hundred and let's call it one

1609
01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:28,360
Speaker 6: hundred and forty five hundred and fifty hundred and seventy,

1610
01:11:28,439 --> 01:11:30,519
Speaker 6: like what they have to find the number for JJ

1611
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 6: McCarthy and it becomes ballots. So if you watch when

1612
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:35,400
Speaker 6: he came to the line a couple of times too,

1613
01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:37,719
Speaker 6: he was checking out of stuff, like he was trying

1614
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:39,519
Speaker 6: to get into the right you know calls he was

1615
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:41,040
Speaker 6: because you can hear him say stuff. You can hear

1616
01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 6: him come up to the line, you know, like I said,

1617
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:44,360
Speaker 6: he clapped like, hey, got to give me the ball.

1618
01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:45,720
Speaker 6: I got to give the ball. I can't do anything else.

1619
01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:48,160
Speaker 6: I can't change it. So that like allowing him to

1620
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:50,880
Speaker 6: come to the line of scrimmage with seventeen seconds not ten,

1621
01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:53,840
Speaker 6: so that he has that seven to eight second window

1622
01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:55,439
Speaker 6: to kind of make a quick change if he has to.

1623
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:57,320
Speaker 6: But you can even see him calling for the motion,

1624
01:11:57,439 --> 01:11:58,800
Speaker 6: like Okay, I need you to motion now because I

1625
01:11:58,800 --> 01:11:59,880
Speaker 6: got to give it to me. I need you to

1626
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:01,479
Speaker 6: I need to come down, Come down, come down, you know,

1627
01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:03,840
Speaker 6: like he was. He was commanding the receivers to get

1628
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:05,560
Speaker 6: into their spot. And then I don't know if you

1629
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:08,360
Speaker 6: caught this Nordo, but somebody did something wrong, either the

1630
01:12:08,439 --> 01:12:10,280
Speaker 6: coach was slow to get it to him or something

1631
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:13,800
Speaker 6: because he was yelling towards the sideline. And so either

1632
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:17,479
Speaker 6: the coach was wrong or player was wrong. And people

1633
01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:19,680
Speaker 6: can say whatever they want, but it's not like a

1634
01:12:19,760 --> 01:12:22,559
Speaker 6: bad thing. Guys argue and yell all the time. Payton

1635
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:24,720
Speaker 6: Manning and Jeff's Saturday got into a fight during the game,

1636
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:26,600
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, Like it happens, but I

1637
01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:29,320
Speaker 6: love to see because sometimes rookie shrink and they're like, oh, man,

1638
01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:31,120
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna say anything. He's a superstar, like he

1639
01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:33,120
Speaker 6: messed up, or hey, this is my head coach. Man,

1640
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna know, like, hey, I need it. You

1641
01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:36,880
Speaker 6: got to help me out here, tell me blah blah,

1642
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:39,080
Speaker 6: Like he was angry, And I think that's the other

1643
01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:40,800
Speaker 6: side of that that's why those guys are willing to

1644
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:42,839
Speaker 6: play for him and willing to say like Jaj McCarthy

1645
01:12:42,960 --> 01:12:45,160
Speaker 6: is learning everything he can learn, he's doing everything he

1646
01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:46,719
Speaker 6: can do, and he's.

1647
01:12:46,600 --> 01:12:48,360
Speaker 2: Going to make sure we're in the right call. And

1648
01:12:48,479 --> 01:12:49,120
Speaker 2: that's trust.

1649
01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:51,599
Speaker 6: Like I mean, you've heard it on miked up stuff

1650
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:53,600
Speaker 6: when Cam Newton made something and one of the guys said, like,

1651
01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:54,479
Speaker 6: is that a call?

1652
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:57,640
Speaker 2: You know, like, because that's what that happens, where a

1653
01:12:57,640 --> 01:12:58,400
Speaker 2: guy yells.

1654
01:12:58,200 --> 01:12:59,479
Speaker 6: Something out and you're like, is that a call? Like

1655
01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:02,360
Speaker 6: you're the defense was miked up and whatever happened with

1656
01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:04,920
Speaker 6: the Lions, Blake Cashman yelled out, go for gopher, gopher.

1657
01:13:05,320 --> 01:13:07,160
Speaker 6: I don't know what that is, but Blake Cashman came

1658
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:08,920
Speaker 6: free and got after the quarterback. So I don't know

1659
01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:10,720
Speaker 6: what that call was. I don't know if it's, hey,

1660
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 6: we're gonna put Blake Casper through a little hole like

1661
01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:14,160
Speaker 6: a gopher. I don't know what it was, but you

1662
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:16,559
Speaker 6: could hear him yell out gopher, gopher, gopher whenever Jared

1663
01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:19,639
Speaker 6: Goff changed to something. And so again that's the little

1664
01:13:19,720 --> 01:13:21,759
Speaker 6: stuff that when a call is made and a player

1665
01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:24,439
Speaker 6: makes that decision on the field, everybody else has to

1666
01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:26,360
Speaker 6: know their job in that moment and trust that the

1667
01:13:26,439 --> 01:13:28,639
Speaker 6: quarterback is doing what he's supposed to do, which Blake

1668
01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:30,559
Speaker 6: Casher's the quarterback on the defense with the green dot,

1669
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:32,800
Speaker 6: you know, same thing, like, you have to trust that

1670
01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:35,360
Speaker 6: person in that moment when he changes it. Hey, look,

1671
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:37,720
Speaker 6: do it, even if we don't believe it, do it.

1672
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:39,680
Speaker 6: And if it works, great. If it doesn't work, now

1673
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:41,000
Speaker 6: we can say, hey, man, you can't do that again.

1674
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:43,560
Speaker 6: That's what it's about. But I love that he was

1675
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:45,639
Speaker 6: angry enough to yell at his coaches and say, y'all,

1676
01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:46,680
Speaker 6: are somebody messed up?

1677
01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:49,639
Speaker 2: Somebody messed up? That's Ron Johnson. I'm Noorda. A couple

1678
01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:52,720
Speaker 2: segments left to go, it's Vikings fan line Vikings win

1679
01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:56,120
Speaker 2: twenty seven, twenty four. Well, if you're a local Chevy

01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:19,840
Speaker 2: Laporta do what he did on that opening drive for

1686
01:14:19,920 --> 01:14:22,800
Speaker 2: the kiddies, and you respond after a sweet Miles Price

1687
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:25,880
Speaker 2: kick return with a five play thirty six yard TD.

1688
01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:28,400
Speaker 2: I did that, But actually what I'm gonna go with

1689
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:32,519
Speaker 2: is after the ensuing Lions possession in the first quarter

1690
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:35,600
Speaker 2: where they go three and out, the Vikings put the

1691
01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:39,160
Speaker 2: pressure on Detroit with a seven play sixty four yard

1692
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:40,320
Speaker 2: drive that ended with.

1693
01:14:40,400 --> 01:14:42,760
Speaker 28: This first and goal from the seven McCarthy out of

1694
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:45,160
Speaker 28: the shotgun Jefferson in motion to the left. They take

1695
01:14:45,200 --> 01:14:47,840
Speaker 28: a hand off to JJ and McCarthy rolls up to

1696
01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:52,599
Speaker 28: the right fires to the end zone touchdown. Former Lion

1697
01:14:53,880 --> 01:14:59,959
Speaker 28: Jay Hockinson catches that side arm fastball from JJ McCarthy

1698
01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:03,920
Speaker 28: and the Minnesota Vikings have taken up thirteen seven lead.

1699
01:15:04,720 --> 01:15:07,400
Speaker 2: Just two catches and eleven yards on the day for Hawkinson,

1700
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:09,680
Speaker 2: but seven of those yards went for that score that

1701
01:15:09,800 --> 01:15:12,720
Speaker 2: you heard there. It was JJ. He's rolling outside and

1702
01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:15,000
Speaker 2: you know, kid throws a bit on the run and

1703
01:15:15,240 --> 01:15:17,360
Speaker 2: can be inaccurate on the run, but he threw a

1704
01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:20,679
Speaker 2: freaking dart across the body. I know some bad memories

1705
01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:23,519
Speaker 2: among Vikings fans regarding that, but this one worked. It

1706
01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:27,400
Speaker 2: was a dart to number eighty seven, and hey, Hawkinson

1707
01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:31,400
Speaker 2: caught it. What a revelation that was, and that put

1708
01:15:31,439 --> 01:15:33,960
Speaker 2: the Vikings up fourteen to seven in the first quarter,

1709
01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:37,640
Speaker 2: all part of a twenty seven twenty four victory for

1710
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:41,960
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Vikings. The play of the play of JJ

1711
01:15:42,120 --> 01:15:47,080
Speaker 2: McCarthy overall in the day growth fourteen to twenty five

1712
01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:50,160
Speaker 2: of buck forty three two tds had the pick. Was

1713
01:15:50,200 --> 01:15:52,280
Speaker 2: there a particular moment putting you on the spot run

1714
01:15:52,360 --> 01:15:57,200
Speaker 2: before we pause again that where you said JJ gets it,

1715
01:15:57,400 --> 01:16:00,639
Speaker 2: JJ took a step today. Was there one particular moment

1716
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:01,280
Speaker 2: or action?

1717
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:04,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, the throw is Justin Jefferson, like I mean, honestly,

1718
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:07,439
Speaker 6: like the red Zone tist of Red Zone TV, just

1719
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:11,120
Speaker 6: like eighteen's that guy. And exactly because it was no hesitation,

1720
01:16:11,320 --> 01:16:13,560
Speaker 6: he understood what the coverage was. He had one on

1721
01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:16,040
Speaker 6: one And again, think about some of the throws last

1722
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:17,960
Speaker 6: year we complained about in the red zone geinst the Lions.

1723
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:21,320
Speaker 6: We were like, man, if Sam Donald just throws it here,

1724
01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:23,439
Speaker 6: Sam Donald just does this, Man, that's a touchdown. You

1725
01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:25,559
Speaker 6: got Justin Jefferson. How do you not give Justin Jefferson

1726
01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:28,080
Speaker 6: the chance to make a play. He gave Justin Jeffson

1727
01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:29,320
Speaker 6: the chance to make a play and he made it,

1728
01:16:29,439 --> 01:16:31,800
Speaker 6: Like that's I think that's the step for me where

1729
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:33,880
Speaker 6: I was like, this kid can do it, he just

1730
01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:35,080
Speaker 6: has to have more opportunities.

1731
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:36,559
Speaker 2: And this is only his third game.

1732
01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:38,280
Speaker 6: We have to remember that like this, if this were

1733
01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:40,840
Speaker 6: week three, we would have a totally different feeling. We'd

1734
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:43,200
Speaker 6: be like, man, look at the first three weeks of

1735
01:16:43,240 --> 01:16:45,360
Speaker 6: the season for this kid, like he's doing great. If

1736
01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:47,920
Speaker 6: he what won two out of three in the first week,

1737
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:49,680
Speaker 6: first three games of his career.

1738
01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:51,280
Speaker 2: Like we would be celebrating.

1739
01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:54,080
Speaker 6: And so that's the way we kind of need to

1740
01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:56,679
Speaker 6: look at it because these other Sam Donald or sorry,

1741
01:16:56,720 --> 01:16:59,920
Speaker 6: Carson Wentz games in between, those aren't JJ McCarthy moments.

1742
01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:02,560
Speaker 6: This is the JJ McCarthy experience with being able to

1743
01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:06,280
Speaker 6: run the ball RPO you know, zone read where he

1744
01:17:06,439 --> 01:17:08,680
Speaker 6: keeps it gets you a first down, you know, that's

1745
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:11,120
Speaker 6: the stuff he gets you a touchdown on a I

1746
01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:12,760
Speaker 6: mean basically it was a play action.

1747
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:15,000
Speaker 2: Hey, if it's not there, keep it and go.

1748
01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:17,760
Speaker 6: That's what Kevin O'Connor knew he had in this kid,

1749
01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:19,240
Speaker 6: but he just couldn't do it, and so he had

1750
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:22,160
Speaker 6: to pivot and transition with with Carson Wentz mid season

1751
01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:23,680
Speaker 6: and say, okay, I gotta get rid of some of

1752
01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:26,240
Speaker 6: this stuff. I don't have it. But the same side

1753
01:17:26,360 --> 01:17:28,320
Speaker 6: arm throw Carson Wentz tried to throw on the tunnel,

1754
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:30,280
Speaker 6: you know, the tunnel throw and he throws into the dirt.

1755
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:34,040
Speaker 6: JJ McCarthy sees the pressure, throws it and what happens,

1756
01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:36,280
Speaker 6: big play on the blitz like it. It's those are

1757
01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:37,439
Speaker 6: the things for me. That was the other one for

1758
01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:39,360
Speaker 6: me too, the blitz in his face and he knows

1759
01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:40,880
Speaker 6: the blitz is coming. He's like, I just got it

1760
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:42,559
Speaker 6: one more second. I got to hold it because if

1761
01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:44,719
Speaker 6: I can get it to I think it was Aaron Jones,

1762
01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:48,000
Speaker 6: there's no screen. Yeah, it's like, if I can get

1763
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:49,800
Speaker 6: it to Aaron Jones, nobody else is over there. This

1764
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:51,519
Speaker 6: is gonna be a big play. Like those are the

1765
01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:53,439
Speaker 6: things for me, where it's like, you know you're gonna

1766
01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:55,200
Speaker 6: take a hit. You know a guy's coming, Let me

1767
01:17:55,240 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 6: sit in here and throw it.

1768
01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:57,200
Speaker 2: And yeah, it was.

1769
01:17:57,320 --> 01:17:59,559
Speaker 6: It was kind of cool to see those moments. But again,

1770
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:01,120
Speaker 6: you look at the stat line, you're not going to

1771
01:18:01,200 --> 01:18:03,120
Speaker 6: fall in love with it. But he got the w

1772
01:18:03,439 --> 01:18:05,400
Speaker 6: nothing and like you said, the last play of the game,

1773
01:18:05,439 --> 01:18:08,240
Speaker 6: he iced the game. Absolutely. That's Ron Johnson im Nordo.

1774
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:10,479
Speaker 6: Final segment of fan lines around the corner. We're gonna

Speaker 2: Oh how good? How good was that the host was

1790
01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:16,560
Speaker 2: feeling it today? The host of nine to Noon that

1791
01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:19,519
Speaker 2: is the voice of the Minnesota Vikings, Paul Allen one

1792
01:19:19,560 --> 01:19:24,160
Speaker 2: of five sacks Vikings defense put on Jared Goff. Final segment.

1793
01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:25,719
Speaker 2: I mean we're gonna We're gonna make it a quickie

1794
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:27,559
Speaker 2: and get out of here so that Saucy and Max

1795
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:29,960
Speaker 2: Fuller can take over. But Saucy, would you think, man,

1796
01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:31,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I thought it was great.

1797
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:34,760
Speaker 16: I thought that first fourth down play where they got

1798
01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:39,080
Speaker 16: who's their great tight end? Sand Laporta reported down the

1799
01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:41,120
Speaker 16: scene and he just kind of rumbled into the end zone.

1800
01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:43,240
Speaker 16: It looked like a like a fifth grade play where

1801
01:19:43,240 --> 01:19:44,519
Speaker 16: you just throw it up to your best player and

1802
01:19:44,600 --> 01:19:45,120
Speaker 16: just let him.

1803
01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:47,720
Speaker 2: Make the play. Yeah, Matellus was trying to punch the ball.

1804
01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:49,720
Speaker 6: Love by the way, I thought that just half of

1805
01:19:49,760 --> 01:19:51,360
Speaker 6: the freaking guy, the guy that he was trying to

1806
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:51,840
Speaker 6: punch the ball.

1807
01:19:51,960 --> 01:19:54,439
Speaker 16: But I thought it was on that that point, I'm like,

1808
01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:56,280
Speaker 16: oh boy, it's gonna be a tough And then the

1809
01:19:56,360 --> 01:19:58,720
Speaker 16: kid punched back. That's all we've been asking for, is

1810
01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:01,600
Speaker 16: the kid to punch back. There were some plays he

1811
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:04,120
Speaker 16: wasn't perfect, but he did what we needed him to

1812
01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:06,200
Speaker 16: do with that. That passed to Naylor at the end

1813
01:20:06,240 --> 01:20:08,479
Speaker 16: of the game was outstanding, terrific. That was such a

1814
01:20:08,600 --> 01:20:11,840
Speaker 16: ball's play like and it shows how much the coach

1815
01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:14,599
Speaker 16: has in him. They needed that win, man, because then

1816
01:20:14,840 --> 01:20:18,040
Speaker 16: like you lose that game with the kid at quarterback,

1817
01:20:18,720 --> 01:20:19,719
Speaker 16: it looked kind of dicey.

1818
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:20,639
Speaker 2: But they got the ball.

1819
01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:22,880
Speaker 16: They did, they got what they needed the pass on

1820
01:20:23,040 --> 01:20:26,200
Speaker 16: third and four to get the game winner. Outstanding, they

1821
01:20:26,240 --> 01:20:26,880
Speaker 16: needed that win.

1822
01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:28,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll ask both of you this and then and

1823
01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:31,360
Speaker 2: then we'll we'll we'll we'll, we'll end it and you

1824
01:20:31,439 --> 01:20:35,599
Speaker 2: can take over, Saucy. But the difference between just hanging

1825
01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:38,840
Speaker 2: in this game, the difference between Okay, so McCarthy goes

1826
01:20:38,880 --> 01:20:42,320
Speaker 2: out or a three and four team. Everything's gone haywire.

1827
01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:44,559
Speaker 2: Everybody's hurt and people are getting healthy, but the thing

1828
01:20:44,680 --> 01:20:46,360
Speaker 2: just doesn't look good. We got our asses kicked it

1829
01:20:46,439 --> 01:20:49,320
Speaker 2: so far. Hang in this game was kind of just

1830
01:20:49,840 --> 01:20:51,599
Speaker 2: let's see what the kid can do, right, I mean,

1831
01:20:51,800 --> 01:20:55,200
Speaker 2: it's just there's such a massive difference now where the

1832
01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:56,479
Speaker 2: kid did make his mistakes.

1833
01:20:56,560 --> 01:20:59,920
Speaker 16: He overthrew a couple behind, kept calling it his one

1834
01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:02,280
Speaker 16: like he was. He kept hitting the driver. They were

1835
01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:05,280
Speaker 16: using golf references on TV about it. He kept just

1836
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:07,439
Speaker 16: hitting the driver. You know what Tom Brady's been doing

1837
01:21:07,520 --> 01:21:10,000
Speaker 16: when he needed a pitching wedge and just lobbing in there.

1838
01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:10,960
Speaker 6: And there were a couple like that.

1839
01:21:11,240 --> 01:21:14,080
Speaker 2: But it's such it's such a massive difference now, Saucy, Like,

1840
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:16,160
Speaker 2: can you feel that where it's like you get out

1841
01:21:16,160 --> 01:21:18,920
Speaker 2: of here with a w your kid made some mistakes,

1842
01:21:19,040 --> 01:21:21,800
Speaker 2: but he also showed that he's grown since we lost

1843
01:21:21,880 --> 01:21:24,560
Speaker 2: him in the Falcons game. Like this is this is

1844
01:21:24,680 --> 01:21:28,240
Speaker 2: this is a potential changing wave, a tide turner if

1845
01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:31,160
Speaker 2: you will, Yeah it is. We gotta see consistency though.

1846
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:33,040
Speaker 16: We got to see him next week to get at

1847
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:36,960
Speaker 16: home against a I mean, the Ravens defense isn't great,

1848
01:21:37,080 --> 01:21:39,960
Speaker 16: but they have the pieces right and we got to

1849
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:40,640
Speaker 16: see what they can do.

1850
01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:42,559
Speaker 2: I don't know what the line is yet for that game.

1851
01:21:42,640 --> 01:21:44,880
Speaker 16: I saw like four and a half like a week ago,

1852
01:21:45,320 --> 01:21:47,960
Speaker 16: but I would bet it has changed since the Vikings won.

1853
01:21:48,360 --> 01:21:51,320
Speaker 16: And we saw the offensive line play they played probably

1854
01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:54,400
Speaker 16: their best game, and the defensive line pressure that they

1855
01:21:54,600 --> 01:21:58,519
Speaker 16: needed after we lost that game in January last year

1856
01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:01,840
Speaker 16: and they looked off up the middle, and they on

1857
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:04,519
Speaker 16: both sides of the ball up the middle, they were

1858
01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:07,160
Speaker 16: bad on both sides. They look great today. That's one

1859
01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:10,719
Speaker 16: of the better games the defensive has played. Van Gigle

1860
01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:13,000
Speaker 16: is such a big difference, and Grenard is one hundred

1861
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:15,720
Speaker 16: percent on every play. He jumped off sides on that

1862
01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:18,960
Speaker 16: one that kind of sucked, but still they got the victory. Hey,

1863
01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:21,560
Speaker 16: thank you, Yeah, thank you. It's good to see you,

1864
01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:23,920
Speaker 16: and now you have to do you have to sit

1865
01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:24,439
Speaker 16: in my chair.

1866
01:22:24,560 --> 01:22:27,160
Speaker 2: Can't wait? That sounds good. That's it for Vikings fan Line.

1867
01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:30,519
Speaker 2: Vikings win twenty seven to twenty four. Big thanks to

1868
01:22:30,600 --> 01:22:34,120
Speaker 2: Ron Johnson. As always. You heard Ben Lieber with Harrison

1869
01:22:34,240 --> 01:22:37,719
Speaker 2: Smith and you might hear I don't know if they'll

1870
01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:39,759
Speaker 2: be able to play it for you, but Brian O'Neil

1871
01:22:40,200 --> 01:22:41,760
Speaker 2: was with Ben Lieber. You're gonna get to hear that

1872
01:22:41,880 --> 01:22:44,679

1873
01:22:44,720 --> 01:22:47,479
Speaker 2: improve to four and four, next up, indeed a week

1874
01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:50,479
Speaker 2: from today another nooner. How about this? Multiple noon games?

1875
01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:53,840
Speaker 2: Weird home games? This is odd. The Vikings are four

1876
01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:55,960
Speaker 2: and a half point dogs as of this moment to

1877
01:22:56,040 --> 01:22:58,920
Speaker 2: the Ravens. But it's a noon kickoff ten am. Pregame
