4
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: things that are so dicey with the Minnesota Vikings covenant,

5
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: Pete's most recent eye in the Sky YouTube post is

6
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: him firing an M one. Abrams, I believe that's what

7
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: it's called, and and good morning, what's what's an M one?

8
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 2: Abram Abrams, it's a it's the United States main Battle tank.

9
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: And how'd you and how'd you fall into that?

10
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: We went to my guy. This is probably ten years ago.

11
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: The Red Bulls came down with a Chinook helicop. They're

12
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: landed at the old facility Buncamus won up there, probably

13
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: like twenty of us and it was kind of like

14
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 2: kindergarten for a day to shoot all, you know, shoot

15
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: the machine guns, the saws, qualify on the range, do

16
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 2: the simulators, and then they took us down on the tanks,

17
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 2: got the fire of Bradley and then ultimately an M one.

18
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 2: It was almost as good as flying with the Blue Angels,

19
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 2: but it was Yeah, I had found I found some

20
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: old video of it. I mean this a long time

21
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 2: ago and it's been something I just wanted to put

22
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 2: out there, and I figured that would be it might

23
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: be the it might be the time. Yeah, it's a

24
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: two times for a little you know, for little little

25
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: roper room, a little fun, and then we'll get back

26
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: to business here in the next day or two.

27
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good diversion. Nine to noon is turning

28
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: the page today on some things with the twenty twenty

29
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: five Minnesota Vikings, and that would include the way the

30
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: run defense has worked out. So if if Andrew Van

31
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: Ginkel returns in the Lions game, undoubtedly that will help.

32
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: But you hit on it during game calls week after

33
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: week after week after week, and you know, I think

34
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: we both or underplayed it this game until we watched

35
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: it back end or looked at snap counts. But that

36
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: forty four for the LA Charger something called Scott mattlock

37
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: He Wow, he had played thirty eight plays the three

38
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: games up to our game, played forty one in this game.

39
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: That's basic. It's a career high. So it's basically saying

40
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: everybody from Fred Johnson to Darnell Washington now Scott Mattlocke

41
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: is doing this to you, and we're going to do

42
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: it too until you show the NFL you can stop

43
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: it right right.

44
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: And here's a couple of things on that ball. Is

45
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: that this is not the first week that teams have

46
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: gone big on us. This is the third or fourth

47
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: week in a row that week after week, we've seen

48
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 2: extra offensive linemen, we've seen multiple tight ends, we've seen

49
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: teams go big to run the football and it's worked.

50
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 2: The other side of that coin, however, is when you

51
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: have lead like the Chargers do, then you have you know,

52
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: you have the patients to run the ball right, you

53
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 2: want to run the ball. You're in a situation where

54
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: you should run the football. So and then time of

55
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 2: possession was almost two to one again on Thursday night.

56
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 2: So there's other's a lot of things that can also

57
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: go into helping the running game. But right now, teams

58
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 2: have the patients, they have the ability, and they have

59
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 2: the big bodies to go ahead and do that, and

60
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: and they're just we didn't. We never saw that. Last year.

61
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: We didn't we faced more passes. I think we were

62
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: the number one or number two in the league, but

63
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: we were right at the top of percentage of passes

64
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 2: that we saw that we faced last year. Teams did

65
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: not run the football on us for a number of reasons.

66
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: Number one, it was very difficult. Number Two, they were

67
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: behind most of the time and so they had to

68
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: throw the football. So we're seeing a shift on It's again, well,

69
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: how do we actually what's going on? It's like, well,

70
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: there's a there's a lot of things. There's a ton

71
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: of things you know that are that are factoring into

72
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: all this. But we see it. You know, you're seeing

73
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: it week in and week out, and teams, teams look

74
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: to us to get their get their run game healthy.

75
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: And you know again, yeah, you're right. I mean, having

76
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: be gangle back is going to help. But those guys

77
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 2: in the middle, the linebackers, all those guys have to

78
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 2: play better now offensively.

79
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: A page turn could involve the re emergence of JJ

80
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: McCarthy at Ford Field against the Lions. If McCarthy indeed

81
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: does start and we can actually get a series of

82
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: games out of him, what would you be looking for?

83
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 3: Uh, just.

84
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 2: You're kind of going back to kind of going back

85
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 2: to square one, right, I mean you're looking you're just

86
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 2: you're looking for a rhythm in the passing game. And

87
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 2: I think that's one thing that disappeared on Thursday night.

88
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 4: I mean you if you, if you.

89
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 2: Watch the film, you notice Carson Wentz will get to

90
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 2: the top of his drop and then you pause it.

91
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: You pause the film. There anybody, you know, anybody can

92
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: do this. But the slot of times the receivers are

93
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: still in their routes, they're not even in their brakes yet,

94
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: they're not turned. And and so when you get to

95
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 2: the top of your drop and you're a quarterback and

96
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 2: you're trying to do your reads and the and the

97
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 2: receivers aren't even in their brakes yet, then you have

98
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: to either stand there and wait, or you know, the

99
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 2: rush starts getting to you. And it just it's these

100
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:35,239
Speaker 2: offenses at this at this time, it's it's so much timing.

101
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 2: It's one two three plant throw the receipt. You know,

102
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 2: the offenses operate on timing, and our timing was just off.

103
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 2: So for McCarthy, that's one of the things that you

104
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: definitely want to see is to have some timing with

105
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 2: this offense exactly how it's going to look, because it's

106
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 2: going to change. It's not going to look the same

107
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 2: as they with Carson Wentz that's going to be a factor.

108
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 2: And then here's another thing too, is this Detroit defense

109
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: plays a ton of man the man, man man all

110
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 2: they love they they'll play it all day long. They'll

111
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: blitz you and play it. They'll just play it. So

112
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 2: having those routes is going to be Having the man

113
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 2: the man beating routes are going to be important. And

114
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 2: then you know, again the mobility of the quarterback to

115
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 2: extend plays, it's going to be important too. So for McCarthy,

116
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 2: you know, those are the things. Those are kinds of

117
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,799
Speaker 2: the things that I'm looking for. Is it's just again

118
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 2: some rhythm and timing to an offense and not just

119
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 2: having it breakdown. Pete art He running for his life.

Speaker 1: The Analyst joins nine to noon each and every Monday

122
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,239
Speaker 1: about ten o'clock. Vikings and Lions noon from Ford Field

123
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: this weekend, uh, Javon Hargrave might be the last one here.

124
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: Javon Hargrave last two games forty snaps all right now,

125
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: It's like Levi Drake Rodriguez played forty one snaps by

126
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: himself in the Chargers game. No, No, knock at the

127
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: second year defensive lineman. It's it's just being a hard

128
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: Grave fan from Afar before before he got here. I

129
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: I and I'm I'm maybe I'm mistaken with this. Maybe

130
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: it never was like this because I didn't ask anybody.

131
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: I thought Javon Hargrave was three down guy. I thought

132
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: he would play runs and passes and just the whole thing.

133
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: What do you think? I think?

134
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 2: So, I think you're right on that pall. I mean,

135
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 2: and I know this is just my gut, but I

136
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: we've seen kind of an evolution of the defense, you know,

137
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 2: year after year of the year, and a lot of

138
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 2: it depends upon the players that we have h and

139
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 2: that's the prudent thing to do as a coordinator. You

140
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 2: can't ask guys to do things that they're not capable

141
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: of doing. But for some reason, jayvon Hargrave, I don't

142
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: think it's just fitting into the techniques and things that

143
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 2: they want to do up front. Now, whether that's I

144
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 2: don't you know what that is. I don't know. Right,

145
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 2: it's different than anything he's ever done. You know, you

146
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 2: look at his stance. You know, his stance is very upfield.

147
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 2: It's more of a four to three defensive tackle type

148
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: of a type of a stance instead of the square

149
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 2: in it up and playing into guys like like we

150
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: normally do. So that's different. Yeah, I don't eat.

151
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 3: I don't know.

152
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if he if he's just not wanting to,

153
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 2: you know, accept and just sell into the buy into

154
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 2: the fundamentals and techniques that are needed up there, or

155
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: they want him just to be himself and try to

156
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 2: find a way to fit him in. And right now

157
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 2: a team's running the football, it's just not fitting in

158
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 2: and we're not just you know, we're we're not getting

159
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 2: the two score leads with with the need to get

160
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 2: a D lineman in there to get up the field.

161
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 2: So maybe he's not fitting from that standpoint, I don't Yeah,

162
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 2: I don't know. But up until his injury last year

163
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 2: when he was with the forty nine ers, he was

164
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 2: playing at a very very high level and it's just

165
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 2: not translating to this year. So I don't know what

166
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 2: exactly that is. But we need it, we know, we

167
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 2: definitely need we definitely need more on of him, We

168
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,080

198
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: was working.

199
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 5: But turning the page right, I mean the Wild. I

200
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,239
Speaker 5: mean they're in a shootout with the freaking Sharks yesterday.

201
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 5: The college team, and we're gonna talk. We got a

202
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 5: little nd N before we get to the college coach.

203
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 5: But whether it's the Gophers game, I mean, it's page

204
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 5: turning season. How much of that game against the Sharks

205
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 5: did you watch last night? About ten minutes of it

206
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 5: you did? I was just channel flipping. It's good, it's

207
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 5: good to check in.

208
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: But I flipped, and I think they might have been

209
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: Were they down five to two or was that the

210
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 1: Utah game.

211
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 5: And five to two was the final I think in

212
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 5: the Utah game? Yeah, but they were down there. Yes,

213
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 5: they were down by multiple goals to the Sharks, which

214
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 5: is bad for business because you shouldn't be losing to

215
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 5: the Sharks in lopsided fashion. They fight back, and then

216
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 5: I think it was Celebrini. I got a highlight around

217
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 5: here somewhere, a Celebrini selly. But then but then it's like, okay,

218
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 5: so at least like it's LFL season so I can

219
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 5: check out, you know, the hoop side of things. Oh wait,

220
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 5: Anthony Edwards plays three minutes and now there's a potential

221
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 5: hammy situation.

222
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: Was it a hamstring?

223
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 5: I think it was. I think it's listed as a

224
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 5: hammy and heard it was tight.

225

Speaker 1: quarter century anniversary. Let me let me just get this

250
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: out of the way. You're forty one years of age, right,

251
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: that's correct? Okay, a decade into it. How's retirement? I mean,

252
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: what's it like when one retires? And it doesn't mean

253
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: that you've retired from everything, but you had a nice

254
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: career in the NHL, and I would imagine a lot

255
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: of hockey up Canada Way and other places went into

256
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: getting into the NHL, and then at like age thirty two,

257
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: thirty one, thirty two, you retire. Uh does the does

258
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: the is the future scary in any way at that

259
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: point when you retire from hockey at such a young age, Well,

260
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: some part of it, I guess.

261
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 3: I mean, like you said, you know, I started playing

262
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 3: hockey pretty young, you know, four or five years old.

263
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 3: You're you you pretty much have the skates on your

264
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 3: feet every day, and then you just you know, climb

265
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 3: the ladder and then you you're able to achieve your agreement,

266
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 3: make it to the NHL, and all of a sudden,

267
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 3: it's it's it's all over. So, uh, you know, the

268
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 3: first the first couple of years were pretty tough. You know,

269
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 3: you're you're so used to go out the rink every day,

270
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 3: you know, with the boys, you know, playing in front

271
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 3: of twenty thousand people, the emotion the generally and you

272
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 3: can live through the hockey. So it's it was it

273
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 3: was a little bit tough the first two years. But

274
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 3: after that, you, uh, you kind of get your groove.

275
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 3: You find a different schedule and life goes on and

276
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 3: you're you're able to, uh to live different experiences.

277
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: A wonderful answer there, and thanks for the honesty. And

278
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,479
Speaker 1: you know it's I would imagine, uh, the the concussions,

279
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: the concussions that you had during your career probably played

280
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: into this. Okay, so we can't do anything about that,

281
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: but uh we we can. We can wonder now remove

282
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: from the game, settling into a life with family and

283
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: friends and new opportunities. Uh, how how is the brain?

284
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: How is your head? Any any concussion related symptoms?

285
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 4: No?

286
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 3: No, I'm pretty lucky, Paul, Thanks thanks for asking. I

287
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 3: mean I think I you know, when I had some

288
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 3: concussion with the wild Uh, you know, the team doctors

289
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 3: and the staff were we're pretty small smart about it,

290
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 3: and I was able to recover pretty well from them.

291
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 2: So right now, you know, I.

292
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 3: No headaches, no different symptoms, So it's all good. I'm

293
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 3: able to enjoy my life, as you know, spend time

294
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 3: with my family, do different activities. So let's say it's

295
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 3: all good.

296
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: That's fantastic, pr Mark Bouchard nine to now your first

297
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: season with the Wild O two O three and a

298
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: few years to follow that, all right? What was that

299
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: as much fun playing hockey as maybe you've ever had?

300
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, big time, big time, I mean, it was

301
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 3: so much fun being part of the wild, being drafted

302
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 3: by them, able to be there ten years first season

303
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 3: as eighteen years old. You know, I was not playing

304
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 3: every game, but you know I played fifty game that

305
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 3: first year. And I mean, you guys all remember that

306
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 3: playoff run we had, so that that was my first

307
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 3: my first year, so I was like, whoa, this is

308
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 3: the NHL. That's pretty fun. So let's try to do

309
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 3: this every year. I guess it didn't work out that way,

310
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 3: but it was still a great time.

311
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: And you know, the the one of the if not

312
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 1: the highlights from that run Bruno Andrew Brunette with the

313
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: with the shot in Denver on WAH in Game seven.

314
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: I mean, that was spectacular. What what was Andrew Brunette

315
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: like as a teammate? Personally speaking? He's one of my

316
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: all time favorite athletes of the four pro sports in

317
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: this part of the country. In the twenty seven twenty

318

Speaker 1: eight years I've done this radio show, I Love Bruno.

Speaker 3: there twelveed me out, you know, on and of the

Speaker 3: great person, and I only have great thing to say

327
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 3: about him. And I'm pretty happy for him that he

328
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 3: find it is where as a coaching U coaching. You know,

329
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,880

00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:12,680

Speaker 3: You know, he's got that good attitude, he's uh, you know,

343
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 3: he wants to win every night.

344
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: So I'm pretty.

345
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 3: Trill for the Minnesota whild fans for the team for

346
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 3: the next few years.

347
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: What what what made Marion Gabbertt such a high end

348
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: player and your fourth all time on the team and assists,

349
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: you know, and I would imagine a fair amount of

350
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: them went the way at Gabby. So you know what

351
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 1: what made him such a high end player.

352
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 3: I mean his speed. His speed was tremendous. I mean

353
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 3: for a loose puck, you know, in virtual zone, for

354
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 3: a breakaway, I think he was one of the fastest

355
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 3: I ever seen, you know, to to go get that

356
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 3: puck and get that breakaway. Uh, and then one on

357
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 3: one with the goalie, he was he was deadly. So

358
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 3: he was he was fun to watch.

359
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: What was it like playing for Jacques Lamire, Yeah.

360
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 3: Josh, he was.

361
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: He was great for me.

362
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 3: I mean, he's one of the best coach, uh, you

363
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 3: know who's been around in the NHL, pretty smart, knows

364
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 3: a lot of things about the game. He was good

365
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 3: to me, you know, I was at a young age.

366
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 3: It was great to have him to support me and

367
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 3: then guide me through my first HUC. Then I think

368
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 3: he did a great job in Minnesota. We know we

369
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 3: never had you know, you know, yes, we had Gabby,

370
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 3: we had Rolye, you know, guys like Bruno, but we

371
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 3: never had like you know, as Sydney Crosby or Caprisov

372
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 3: or all those guys, and he was able to get

373
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 3: the team together and we're we were always competitive and

374
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 3: battling for a playoff spot or making the playoffs. So

375
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 3: that's saw on him.

376
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: So the So the Winnipeg Jets are here tomorrow night.

377
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: They they were the Atlanta Thrashers when you entered the

378
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: last Yeah, I think they played at Philips Arena. What what, what,

379
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: if anything do you remember about games in Atlanta? Shoot,

380
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: I remember back in the late seventies when they were

381
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Flames and I'm watching the Washington Capitals at

382
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: Capital Center in Landover, Maryland, and Jim Craig came out

383
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 1: of the Olympics and played for the Atlanta Flames. What

384
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 1: were the what were the Thrashers like and games in Atlanta?

385
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 3: Well, not many people in the sends the first thing

386
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 3: that comes to my mind. It was pretty empty there.

387
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 3: So besides that that, you know, a couple of superstars,

388
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 3: you know, Colo Chuck was there, Danny eat.

389
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: Lee was there.

390
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 3: So they had some good players. But you know, I

391
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 3: think it was it was kind of the right decision,

392
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 3: I think to bring back a team to Winnipang. And

393
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 3: now the Jets are are rowing Booch.

394

Speaker 5: Canterbury is the absolute best. Canterbury Park dot Com. To

426
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 5: the Howl, it was Pascal Siakam and then just about

427
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 5: nobody else. Last night, Pa and Julius Randall's thirty one

428
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 5: points helped the Howl beat the pacers at Target Center

429
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 5: watching some hamstring tightness of your Anthony Edwards. However, he

430
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 5: was able to go for just three minutes and I

431
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 5: saw something. Whether it was Johnny Krasinski, I hate to

432
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 5: attribute it incorrectly, but it was something about hamstring tightness,

433
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 5: and potentially this is something that was actually seen and

434
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 5: was lingering from La, So he potentially sits tonight. I'm

435
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 5: seeing scores and odds. They have the Nuggets in town

436
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 5: and it's they're five and a half point favorites, not

437
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 5: over the Wolves at Target Center tonight. So is that

438
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 5: a potential early lean that you don't expect Anthony Edwards

439
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,959
Speaker 5: to play? Yes, but Aunt potentially, given the fact that

440
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 5: we've seen him writhing in pain and then he bounces back,

441
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 5: maybe Aunt plays tonight. We shall see, but they'll need him.

442
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 5: The text line, I saw somebody talking about Aaron Gordon.

443
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 5: How about Aaron Gordon going for fifty against those dubs

444
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 5: the other night mile High City squad Ball arena go crazy.

445
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 5: But at Target Center tonight, the healthy, the healthiest that

446
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 5: you're probably going to see the Nuggets are here and

447
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 5: they're a tough team to handle.

448
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: Well, it's I don't you know Anthony with with this

449
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: swoon over his hammy? All right, so he plays three minutes.

450
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: Think he had five points in three minutes, so he

451
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 1: might have been sitting on a big one. But nevertheless,

452
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: he was on the bench and he was bouncing up

453
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: and like like by the huddle stuff like that. So,

454
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: you know, outside of the Covenant, doctor Chow so to speak,

455
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: trying to pretend like I know what's happening, even though

456
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: I'm like not there with the team. I'm gonna guess

457
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: things are pretty much okay for Anthony. However, what what

458
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: would concern me is we had a questionable into the

459
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: first game with backspasms. Yeah, and and from what I understand,

460
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: it was a very very questionable situation, very very fifty

461
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 1: to fifty I should say. And uh, and then now

462
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 1: we leave with a swoon over the hammy. So it's

463
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: just too early in the season to be dealing with

464
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 1: things like this. And by the way, they almost got

465
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: beat And this this Indiana team with Aliburton or without

466
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: with them Nemhart or without with Miles Turner here or

467
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: in Milwaukee, that these guys give give the Timberwolves fits.

468
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: They do. And I don't know if it's the Wolves,

469
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: Like looking at the names on the back of the

470
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: jerseys or the rosters and you know, seeing Knees Smith

471
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: and oh there's there's Pascal Siakam. Okay, we've got to

472
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: pay attention to that, But we got, like Bradley and

473
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 1: Matharen and just Shepherd, some nondescript players where they think

474
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: they can roll it out and beat them. Well, they

475
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: were right last night, but that's not always the case

476
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: when they play Indiana. Hopefully a better performance takes place

477
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: tonight against Denver.

478
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 5: I don't know how much you've been watching the World

479
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 5: Series PA. Game three is tonight. It'll be Surezer for

480
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 5: Toronto and then Tyler glasnow for the Dodgers. Jay's just

481
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 5: jumped up and just battered the Dodgers in Game one,

482
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 5: but then the other night, Game two, it was I

483
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 5: mean just classic, get to the bullpen and then all

484
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 5: of a sudden, Will Smith hits a home run, Max

485
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 5: Munsey goes yard and they stretch it out. They win

486
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 5: five to one. But Game three tonight, I felt like

487
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 5: it would probably go five, and I was somewhat surprised

488
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 5: that Toronto got them the way they did in Game one.

489
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 5: Not sure where your head's at, but getting that first

490
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 5: one does give them an opportunity that the Blue Jays

491
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 5: that is in a heavily favored series towards LA. But

492
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 5: they got to get it done on the road. Now

493
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 5: with the next three in LA.

494
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 1: It's been terrific. I've watched almost every ending. I really

495
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: enjoy the World Series. But it's you know, even if

496
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: you're an outsider like nine to Noon, or you're of

497
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: the seamhead variety like Ken Rosenthal and you're following every

498
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: single pitch, it's abundantly apparent that if you can get

499
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: to the Dodgers' bullpen, you will win the World Series. Yeah,

500
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: that's it. That's just pretty much the end of the story.

501
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: The glass Now Snake Bell, he got knocked around a

502
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: little bit in game one and then you know they

503
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,360
Speaker 1: get into that bullpen and you know one of those

504
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: guys that gave up three runs in like two minutes.

505
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: So if Snake Bell, along with glass Now, well, Yah

506
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: Mamoto has been the story. He was the story of

507
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: the first two games of the World Series. Who in

508
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:44,479
Speaker 1: the heck pitches complete games anymore? A and B let

509
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 1: alone in the World Series, Yah Momoto pitched a complete

510
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: game in game two A because they don't want anything

511
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 1: to do with their bullpen and they know it. And

512
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: that was the first one in like a decade since

513
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 1: I think Johnny Quato when he pitched for John Extrom's

514
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 1: Kansas City. So that that's an absolute aberration this one.

515
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 5: It's two complete games in a row for him. Oh

516
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 5: he did it in the NLCS two against the Brewers. Yeah,

517
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 5: it was also is a five to one win.

518
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: He has an MVP right to him. If they happened

519
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: to win this thing.

520
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think, well, no, they he gave up

521
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 5: a home run. I think to the first batter it

522
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 5: was first inning for the Brewers, and then just went nine,

523
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 5: cut down eight or ten in that game, and then

524
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 5: last night gives up an early run. Does the exact

525
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 5: same thing or two nights ago, I should say, lastly

526
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 5: Lions on a bye. If we're checking out the NFC

527
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 5: North Ravens handled the Bears Dereck Henry with a couple tds,

528
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,719
Speaker 5: I believe. And then I mean you got to give

529
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 5: him props. Jordan Love with three sixty and three. He

530
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 5: was fantastic last night. They were struggling to run the ball.

531
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 5: I think Emmanuel actually out rushed Josh Jacob's yardage wise

532
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 5: in that game. Jacobs did get in the end zone,

533
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 5: but they said, hey, I want to see if Jordan

534
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 5: Love can beat us. We're going to stop the run.

535
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 5: Jordan Love was terrific last night, and Green Bay, I believe,

536
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 5: improved to five to one and one. The Minnesota Vikings

537
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 5: start a string of divisional games coming up here. Momentarily,

538
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 5: they'll have the Lions Sunday at noon, a pre game

539
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 5: at ten with Muss from Ford Field, then the Ravens

540
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 5: after that here. Then the Bears are here a couple

541
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 5: of weeks from Sunday, because the Vikings are one to

542
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 5: er in the division, only have played one division game.

543
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 5: So when it comes to turning the page and eliminating

544
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 5: the consternation, the calamity, and or the gridiron gospel related gore,

545
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 5: we move to the other page. We tell you what

546
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 5: we think that looks like tomorrow, But for now, we

547
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 5: chat with PJ. Fleck, coach of the Golden Gophers football team.

548
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 5: That takes place each and every week nine to now

549
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 5: and it's around the corner on FM one hundred point

550
00:29:50,560 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 5: three KFAM.

551
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 3: PJ.

552
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: Fleck, coach of the Golden Gophers football team, joins nine

553
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: to noon weekly off a bad one against Iowa into

554
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: what undoubtedly will be a better one against Michigan State.

555
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: That's next, and it's here at Huntington Banks stadium, PJ

556
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: joins now, and you know, I know there's learning to

557
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: take place at all times, and even off the Iowa game.

558
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: But now now there have been a couple of those

559
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: lopsided ones and they're different. I understand that. What has

560
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: your attention off that one and into the Spartans game?

561
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: And good morning PJ.

562
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, good morning Pa, thanks for having us on

563
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 6: the show. Now that our team playing really hard, we

564
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 6: just executed really poorly. Any time that you lose the

565
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 6: turnover battle or three to nothing against Iowa, that game

566
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 6: is going to look like that. Well, it doesn't matter

567
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 6: who you play, that's how they play. Force you to

568
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 6: turn the ball over, can't do it for you, play

569
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 6: really good special teams. We didn't, and you know, force

570
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 6: you to play a quicker game, which we do the

571
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 6: same thing too, and they were able to hit some

572
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 6: explosive play. So we lost seventy eight percent ball tackling

573
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 6: and explosive plays and we lose all three. Especially when

574
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 6: you're playing Iowa at Kinnick, that's what the score looks like.

575
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 6: So proud of how hard we played, just ex kid

576
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 6: really poorly and with nine minutes to go in the

577
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 6: second quarter, are already down, you know, thirty one nothing,

578
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 6: which which changes everything, so there is no pill. Yeah,

579
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 6: every week is in a chance to change our bets

580
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 6: and respond, and we're zero zero and have to find

581
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 6: a way if you want to know.

582
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: This week, maybe Parker Fox just to join the equation,

583
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: so he'll be asking question or questions here momentarily Coach Fleck.

584
00:31:53,920 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: But maybe the music lesson this week is Ludwig Vaughn

585
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: and they listened to classical music all week to just

586
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: like chill. What do you think of some Ludvig von

587
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: Haltoven PJ.

588
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 6: I really like that. I mean there's actually a study

589
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 6: to classical music that you can you can gain a

590
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 6: percentage point here and there after you work out and

591
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 6: after you practice to listen to classical music to bring

592
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 6: yourself down, help your body recover. So maybe that's a

593
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 6: great suggestion from your from your so we do it

594
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 6: after every practice. We listened to that after practice. But

595
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 6: maybe focusing on that piece would be really good for

596
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 6: the musical piece. So we'll see, we'll take that into consideration.

597
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: To you do you do? Do you like any form

598
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: of classical music?

599
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 6: Absolutely? Actually I've been listening to today. I had a

600
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 6: classical music going on ever since six this morning in

601
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 6: my office right now. So yeah, absolutely, so that a

602
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 6: little Swan Lake going on today. Yeah yeah, absolutely.

603
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: What with with the with the lessons? You know, Ludvig

604
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: von Holto or not quarterback Drake lindsay, what lessons can

605
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: he take from Saturday? Moving forward? And after the game, PJ,

606
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: you said something I really liked and I can't say

607
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: in you know, all my years of of chatting with

608
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: you or chatting with other people about young players in

609
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: this game that I've heard anybody say it the way

610
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: you said it. It's paraphrasing. I like how you said

611
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: with Drake lindsay, as a freshman there will be some

612
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: dark times, but you can't skip the step that was.

613
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you're right, that was fantastic, But like, what

614
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: kind of lessons did he get out of this? Moving forward?

615
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 6: Well, there's a bunch of lessons as if you look

616
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 6: at the performance side of a quarterback. But the peaks

617
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 6: and valleys, especially when you're young, are going to be

618
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 6: way bigger than as you grow it had gained experience

619
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 6: and you have leather skin and you add another scar

620
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 6: and you know this is all about the decision I

621
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 6: made pa to play a freshman quarterback. That is my decision,

622
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 6: right Everything that happens is my decision, and and really

623
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 6: based on the decisions I'm making the offseason. When you

624
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,959
Speaker 6: decide to play a rookie or a red shirt freshman

625
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 6: quarterback for the first time, you already know that there's

626
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 6: going to be some massive peaks and valleys. You know that,

627
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 6: So this doesn't surprise me that there's peaks and valleys.

628
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 6: It surprises everybody when you go through the season of

629
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,399
Speaker 6: when those happened and you're looking at that game during

630
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 6: a one game championship season mindset.

631
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 2: But for me, I know that they're coming.

632
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 6: Last week, he played outstanding, this week little inconsistent, and

633
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 6: there's a certain way to beat certain teams, and we

634
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 6: did everything but do that in this game, and you're

635
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 6: going to learn a lot from it. But you have

636
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,439
Speaker 6: to be willing to go through those steps. I don't

637
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 6: think it's avoidable, I really don't. I'm sure there's stories

638
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 6: out there where somebody was able to avoid that. But

639
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 6: there are going to be some really really good times.

640
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 6: There's going to be some really really hard times. And

641
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 6: when you make a decision to play a young quarterback.

642
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 6: You've already made that decision of you understand how big

643
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 6: of those situations are. How big those are, I mean

644
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 6: that varies based on skill set around them, health of

645
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 6: a football team, players around that player. That all goes

646
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 6: into the equation. And you know, we weren't very good

647
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 6: on Saturday, and that is completely unacceptable and that is

648
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 6: one hundred percent my responsibility in my fall.

649
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 7: Hey coach Parker Fox here, great to be with you

650
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 7: this morning. We know the bread and butter go for

651
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 7: football is established in the run game running back by

652
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,359
Speaker 7: committee at the U but only one snap for your

653
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 7: starr Darius Taylor kind of how do you move forward

654
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 7: in the running game and established that early for the

655
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 7: upcoming game on Saturday, we got to find.

656
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 6: Ways to be able to run the football. You know,

657
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,439
Speaker 6: last year we found unique ways to throw the ball,

658
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 6: to run the ball right, and we were able to

659
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 6: have a run game through the air. Every team presents

660
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 6: its own challenges and everybody, every team presents their own opportunities.

661
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 6: When you have whenever you have your star player, I

662
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 6: mean he's not playing, I mean there's a reason he's

663
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 6: your star player. Your backup's done for the year, aj Turner.

664
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 6: And so when you start getting to the bottom of

665
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 6: that that the middle to the bottom of the depth

666
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 6: chart doesn't mean that you're not very good. You're probably

667
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 6: just lacking experience. And for us, we're lacking experience in

668
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 6: that position. That's not the issue.

669
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 2: Takes your O.

670
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 6: Line, tight ends, quarterback, wideouts and running backs to have

671
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 6: a really successful run game, and we have to stay

672
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 6: consistent this game. We were out of it so fast

673
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 6: Parker that again, what happened to Ohio State happened at

674
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 6: Iowa where we weren't weren't able to establish our run

675
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 6: game because we didn't earn the right to establish that

676
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 6: run game. You got to earn the right to do

677
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 6: what you want in a game, and you got to

678
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 6: go take that from somebody, and we didn't establish that

679
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 6: at all.

680
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: Uh PJ. At this stage of the equation where you

681
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 1: played as many games as you have likewise for the opponents,

682
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: how how challenging or tricky is it with the we

683
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: know that you know that, we know that you know

684
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,280
Speaker 1: like you know you said, there's a formula to beat Iowa,

685
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: and of course you're not going to share the details

686
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: or specifics exactly what that formula is. But you know

687
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: at this stage of the season where teams have seen

688
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 1: so much tape and that they've seen so many plays,

689
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: and you know, then you're dealing with injuries and stuff

690
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: like that. Like how challenging is it to game plan

691
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 1: and change things week after week?

692
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 6: Well, that's the fun of it, you know. I mean,

693
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 6: that is the fun of coaching. And our coaches work

694
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 6: really really hard in that players work really hard to

695
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 6: execute the game plan at a really high level. But

696
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 6: it really comes down to the three things we talk

697
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 6: about all the time, Pa, and it's the formula to beat. Iowas,

698
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 6: you got to win the ball to take away, you

699
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 6: got to be able to win the tackling battle, and

700
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 6: you got to win the explosive play battle. We lost

701
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 6: all three TA, So I'm always focused on why we lose,

702
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,879
Speaker 6: why we win, how do we win? How do we lose?

703
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,879
Speaker 6: That's my responsibility and then being able to fix those

704
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 6: things and hence those things as you go through the

705
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 6: next week and right now, the ball, tackling, explosive play plays,

706
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 6: we didn't win any of those and that's why we lost.

707
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 6: And that's why the number was staggering, because when you

708
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 6: lose all three, it's pretty lopsided.

709
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: Okay, so Iowa, let's say the determination has made that

710
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: Iowa was a better overall team than Nebraska. Well, I

711
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,439
Speaker 1: mean when when and you're at home for one road

712
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 1: for the other. I understand that, But like a week

713
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:11,439
Speaker 1: ago when we chat and I talk about the assignment,

714
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: the the being on point with assignments and things like

715
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: that in that game and the last one was so sloppy,

716
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 1: and you say that, you know you you you take

717
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 1: the blame here ten out of ten times either or

718
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: one hundred percent, that's what you said. But just like

719
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: that has to be so frustrating to you, PJ for it,

720
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 1: for the detail nature of games to flip the way

721
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 1: they did in just a single week.

722
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 6: We're all working towards striving for and earning consistency. Pa,

723
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,760
Speaker 6: I think that's an NFL organization, that's a collegiate program,

724
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 6: that's a high school program. The more consistent you can

725
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 6: be based on knowing what you're going to get out

726
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 6: of your team and knowing what to call and exactly

727
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 6: what's going to happen, is the close to perfection is

728
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 6: we're going to get. We live in a we get

729
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 6: judged on a perfect level and an ideal level where

730
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 6: we don't live in that real We live in a

731
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,760
Speaker 6: real world, right with young people from eighteen to twenty

732
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,919
Speaker 6: three years old. Jim Trussel said it best. I asked

733
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:08,839
Speaker 6: him why he coached college football and not the pros.

734
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 6: He said, you just never know what you're gonna get

735
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,760
Speaker 6: with eighteen to twenty two year olds, and that's jan's

736
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 6: true today. And I think that's the part of education

737
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 6: and teaching. And you know, we get paid to win.

738
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 6: I've said that last time. But I love to do

739
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 6: the job because I love to teach and educate. And

740
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 6: you're going to go through a gama of all types

741
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 6: of things, some really good, some really bad, some really hard,

742
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 6: some really really fun. But you're constantly teaching through all

743
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 6: of that until somebody tells you not to not.

744
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: To teach anymore.

745
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 6: And I think that that's what you continue to focus

746
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 6: on as a coach, is just focus on what you

747
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,320
Speaker 6: can control. Players have to focus on what they can control.

748
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 6: And Mike McCarthy said it best when I played for

749
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 6: him in San Francisco. He said, a coach of a

750
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 6: job of a coach is a teaching demand. A job

751
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 6: of a players prepare and perform. Whoever does that better

752
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 6: and understands those jobs, it can do that more consistent

753
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 6: on a weekly basis is probably going to win the game.

754
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 6: And it still rings true to this day.

755
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, that's very fairly explained. What with with Michigan

756
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 1: State with Spartan, what what's the formula to beating them?

757
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 6: Well, it goes back to, you know, we have to

758
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,399
Speaker 6: win the turnover margin. We have to be really good

759
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 6: tacklers and be in position to tackle and swarm tackle,

760
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 6: and then we have to create more explosive plays. You know,

761
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 6: we're playing, you know, a defense that's really active, a

762
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,879
Speaker 6: defense we're very familiar with with Joe Rossi who used

763
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 6: to be here our defensive coordinator and doing great job

764
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,800
Speaker 6: out of Michigan State and has a lot of players,

765
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 6: a lot, a lot of depth that they rotate guys

766
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 6: in and then offensively and everything starts with their quarterback.

767
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 6: And you know, he can get out of the pocket,

768
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 6: he can scramble if you give him big running lanes.

769
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 6: He can make explosive plays with his feet. He's got

770
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 6: a live and big arm. They've got one of the

771
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 6: best receivers in the Big Ten to throw it to.

772
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 6: So we have an enormous challenge this week to respond,

773
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 6: and you know we've got to take one play at

774
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 6: a time and one day at a time and continue

775
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:52,959
Speaker 6: to get better.

776
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: If lastly, here thanks for the time too. After that,

777
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: iowall game. If if I missed something here and you've

778
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: talked to about this, I apologize. But when when you

779
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 1: watch it back and you see Hawk Eys hitting Lindsey

780
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: and others let's say below the belt in below the

781
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: bell fashion, what what's the reaction?

782
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 2: Well, you know, you never.

783
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 6: Watch a quarterback to get hit, period, you know. I

784
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 6: mean you don't get to control how that happens, with

785
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 6: how they get hit, but you get to control whether

786
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 6: you protect him or not. And I didn't think we

787
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 6: did a good enough job protecting him. I didn't do

788
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,240
Speaker 6: a good enough job of preparing him for that game

789
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 6: to be able to do that. And you got to

790
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:34,839
Speaker 6: get Bio a lot of credit. I mean, they create

791
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 6: a lot of issues for a lot of teams that

792
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 6: they play. That's what they're known for, and you do

793
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 6: everything you can to minimize that. And I did not.

794
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,240
Speaker 6: I did not excel in that area for sure.

795
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: Tear it up against Sparty and we'll chat next week.

796
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 6: Okay, appreciate it, Pa, thanks for your time. For the boats, guy,

797
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 6: I can go for Coulvikes.

798
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 2: Thanks buddy.

799
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: Yep, see you, Bud. That's PJ. Flack, coach of the

800
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: Golden Gophers football team. He he deflected that last question. Yeah,

801
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: because smart and he knows exactly what I'm talking about. Turnover,

802
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: Here come the Hawkeyes Parker Fox at Parker Fox two

803
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,760
Speaker 1: four via the X machine, Here come the Hawkeyes. Lindsay,

804
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: you know, kind of an innocent bystander, somebody a safety

805
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:20,399
Speaker 1: guy role. I mean, just absolutely annihilated him. Honestly. It's

806
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: the type of hit that could end could in collegiate

807
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:28,919
Speaker 1: careers now you know, is it can be tough enough,

808
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: sally and have your head on a swivel. You're still

809
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 1: between the hash marks. Okay, but there also are you know,

810
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: unwritten codes in sports where that's the quarterback. There's a

811
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: different way you can hit him. That was just a

812
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 1: ten of ten, zero respect for it was just it's

813
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: just lack of respect. Yeah, in my estimation, what'd you think?

814
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:52,399
Speaker 1: I agree?

815
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 7: It's one of those insult added to injury, right, like

816
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 7: you're already getting you're already getting beat bad. Maybe your

817
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 7: head isn't on the swivel the way it should be,

818
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 7: your attention to detail isn't there as much. You're trying

819
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 7: to fight for points and you get big hits like that.

820
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 7: My guy, Kendrick Lanier, number fifteen was just standing there

821
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 7: on one play and an Iowa guy comes and just

822
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 7: complete targeting miss call. So you just don't want to

823
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 7: see that from guys.

824
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 4: Right.

825
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 7: It's one of those things where it's like there needs

826
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 7: to be a little respect factor here, but also you

827
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 7: got to earn that respect, right, Like, if you're not

828
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,399
Speaker 7: putting a good product on the field. And I'm not saying, hey,

829
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,399
Speaker 7: go hit guys, that should completely not.

830
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:25,879
Speaker 1: Be the deal.

831
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 7: But yeah, I agree with you, Like there's that unwritten

832
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 7: rule in football, it's the quarterback. You're already up big

833
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 7: on them, But you don't love to see that. I

834
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 7: don't think Kirk ference loves to see that either. There

835
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 7: needs to be respect there from both teams.

836
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 1: And I don't believe what we're talking about here. It

837
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: might have been number four, two or four or something

838
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 1: for Iowa. Yeah, I remember because I saw it out

839
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: of the corner of my eye live and then like,

840
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: didn't pay attention to it till the next day. Then

841
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:53,399
Speaker 1: I saw it on social media. I don't even know

842
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,760
Speaker 1: if that's within the rules or out of bounds. Okay,

843
00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: so maybe it is within the rules. Cool if this

844
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,399
Speaker 1: is just me and that this is difficult to lay

845
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: out because it encourages people basically to cheat, okay, to

846
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 1: go out of body and take a bad situation to

847
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: make it worse that. I'm just assuming there was not

848
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: one teammate on the field who saw that take place

849
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 1: with their quarterback, because if anybody saw it, I don't

850
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 1: care if it's pee wee, if it's middle school, if

851
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: it's high school, if it's college or pros. Somebody has

852
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: to go find that guy and run him down totally.

853
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 1: I mean right after he does it. Not okay, it's

854
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: not the hockey rules. This happened in November, and I

855
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 1: got you in March. Okay, no, right there, don't you

856
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: think I agree? That's a tough question. Nobody run up

857
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:52,359
Speaker 1: on that guy.

858
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean that's a tough question for me because

859
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 7: I was always raised on the don't retaliate. The retaliation

860
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 7: guy gets the penalty. That's the fifteen years yards and

861
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 7: hurting your team like.

862
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 1: That's a good point. But also, and I'm turned the

863
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 1: other cheek guy too, But that's the quarterback. That's the quarterback.

864
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 7: And that's where exactly where I was getting to is,

865
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 7: is that's your guy. Nobody touches that guy. Even PJ said,

866
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 7: you don't want your quarterback touched in general, where's the

867
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 7: offensive line? Maybe nobody saw it, who knows, but I

868
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 7: do agree. I'm not telling you to go illegally hit somebody,

869
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 7: throw his face, mass start throwing punches. You don't need

870
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 7: to get kicked out of the game for this. But also, hey,

871
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 7: that's our guy. We're sticking by his side regardless win

872
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 7: or lose. There needs to be a little bit of that.

873
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 7: And who knows, Pa, maybe somebody didn't see it. I know,

874
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 7: we're kind of taking the high road here.

875
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,359
Speaker 1: Next segment with the Parker, we'll get into the Timberwolves,

876
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: we'll get into us, some Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers from

877
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,240
Speaker 1: last night walking up to the Saltan of smug joining

884

885
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 1: if it's a clearance event that means they're moving, that

886
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: that means things are there. Getting's good that they got

887
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 1: new stuff coming in and they want to get rid

888
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:20,080
