00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 2: to be Big Game World champion Minnesota Vikings Kevin O'Connor

12
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: should be speaking shortly to the assembled media at the

13
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: New Winter Party.

14
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 3: This text message came in and said comment.

15
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 2: At one point earlier in the game, Fox showed a

16
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: third down comparison graphic that said the Vikings were for

17
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,959
Speaker 2: four they finished three or fourteen and zero for ten

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: their last third downs. I'm sure if that's accurate. I'll

19
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: take the text messagers word for to sure. Seem like

20
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: that this one sees the difference in cousins, his cousins

21
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 2: and Darnold had already been in the league for years.

22
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: McCarthy has literally played four games. He needs experience. He

23
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 2: still looks like this in year or two, and we

24
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 2: can all have a real conversation. I think I just

25
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: said that, didn't we just say that we're not. No

26
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: one's throwing the towel in on him. What I'm just

27
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: saying is there's no guarantee. What Craig wrote was it's

28
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 2: gonna be a bumpy ride for a while. Well, how

29
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: long is a while? Is what I'm saying. There's no

30
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 2: guarantee he could end up being the greatest quarterback in

31
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: the history of the National Football Yes, we all hope

32
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 2: he does, but we don't know that. And the early

33
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: returns just aren't very good. I mean, Jayden Daniels was

34
00:01:54,400 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 2: brilliant in his work. Hee heere, he didn't have any problems. Yeah,

35
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: all the players, all the quarterbacks that were drafted the

36
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: same draft he wasn't been pretty good. Now, they all

37
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: played last year for the most part. Maybe what one

38
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 2: didn't right, the Panics kid didn't for didn't.

39
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 1: Play past year. Yeah, you played for most year. The

40
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: other guy so and then they and again he has only.

41
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: Played four games. I get that he has four games capitalized.

42
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: I know how many games he's played. I've watched all

43
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: four games. Don't be so defensive for the kid. He's

44
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: the one that came up with My alter ego is not.

45
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 4: Well on.

46
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 3: Once the game starts, I'm a different person.

47
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: Idn't superhero that one all right?

48
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 5: Well?

49
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: As Gordon Lighte woot once sings saying some heroes often fail.

50
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 2: That was from If You Could Read My Mind. He

51
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: also did a song called the record the Edmond FitzGeralds

52
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: fifty years ago. Today the Edmund FitzGeralds sank on its

53
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: way to Cleveland.

54
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: Here's Kose.

55
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 6: Guys looking at the you know, looking at the tape. Obviously,

56
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 6: what continues to jump out, you know, is is a

57
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 6: lot of the self inflicted. You you play a good

58
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 6: team like that, lose a turnover battle and have the

59
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 6: kind of penalty issues that we have that we had,

60
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 6: ultimately never really give ourselves a chance to win the game.

61
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 6: Despite there were some uh, there were some good things

62
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 6: on the tape as well, you know, execution wise, when

63
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 6: we were able to not stop ourselves. Baltimore made some plays.

64
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 6: But we've got to get right to work on the tape.

65
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 6: That's what we're doing now with the players and make

66
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 6: sure we as I told them, you know, the frustration

67
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 6: of yesterday, it needs to be fueled by the conviction

68
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 6: and the and the determination for tomorrow and having a

69
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 6: really good week of prep and making sure we solve

70
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 6: some of the things, both with real communication and dialogue

71
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 6: of what happened. Specifically in regards to the cadence, when

72
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 6: you look at it, you know, five of those false

73
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 6: art's coming on first and ten in many cases, you know,

74
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 6: with some continued you know, runs called and chances to

75
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 6: stack some positive plays in the run game. And then

76
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 6: you're first and fifteen against the team that plays some

77
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 6: unique things and challenges on third down kind of tilts

78
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 6: you know, what you want to do as an offense

79
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 6: and how we wanted to play the game and away

80
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 6: from us. And then the remaining three came on said

81
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 6: weighty downs, third downs and fourth downs so critical critical,

82
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 6: you know, we had a couple defensive penalties of pass

83
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 6: interference and then the rough in the passer I thought

84
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 6: was an unbelievable you know rush by Dallas. Great, you know,

85
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 6: great game there working with you know, one of the

86
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 6: inside guys and gets there with you.

87
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 5: Know, a ton of force.

88
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 6: Just got to make sure we don't you know, fully

89
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 6: you know, the body weight rule is what it is,

90
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 6: and that was that was the exact reason for that rule.

91
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 6: So just some you know, real real momentum changing plays.

92
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 6: I thought our defense did a lot of really good

93
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 6: things against a very talented offense. And then obviously the

94
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 6: special teams turnover at that point in time in the

95
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 6: game was was very.

96
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 5: Much a you know, an.

97
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 6: Incredibly shifting play to kind of change how the duration

98
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 6: of the game played out. But I've got to do

99
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 6: a better job coaching this team, clearly when you have

100
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 6: you know, pre snap issues like that both in game,

101
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 6: you know, not only not you know, not just relying

102
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 6: on position coaches and and and wes to get things

103
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 6: fixed and flip.

104
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 5: Over to the defensive side.

105
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 6: I got to be directly, you know, involved with some

106
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 6: of those things and watch them all on the TV copy.

107
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 5: Listen to them all.

108
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 6: We have the benefit of kind of going through each

109
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 6: one as its own thing. And you know, don't know

110
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 6: if there's a necessarily the smoking gun that you know,

111
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 6: maybe you know, I thought yesterday it's you know, it's

112
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 6: a variety of a couple of things, but we've got

113
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 6: to make sure we fix it and we will looking ahead,

114
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 6: I did want to update you guys. Got some good

115
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 6: news on JG. Jonathan Gernard. See how he does throughout

116
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 6: the week. He saw today, But you know, we'll see

117
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 6: if he can get a get some time in this

118
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 6: week on the practice field and potentially be available for

119
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 6: this Sunday. But I do think we avoided a long

120
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 6: term injury with him. THEO Jackson cleared the concussion protocol

121
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 6: this morning, so he should be a full participant and

122
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 6: be back this week. Josh Oliver should return to the

123
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 6: practice field and work his way up to hopefully giving

124
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 6: us some snaps on Sunday, and then Ryan Kelly. We're

125
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 6: still figuring out exactly when it takes place, but barring

126
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 6: anything changing here, anticipate maybe opening his window at some

127
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 6: point in time soon.

128
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 5: Here.

129
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 6: You also may see some guys limited or get a

130
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 6: day here and there. But it's that time of year

131
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 6: as we kind of shift into November into December where

132
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 6: we want to have a fresh team as much as

133
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 6: possible for the game. But NFC North game at home,

134
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 6: we're two and zero in the division. Bears are playing

135
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 6: really well. Ben's doing a great job. You know, DA's

136
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 6: doing a great job with that defense, forcing a lot

137
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 6: of turnovers.

138
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 5: That's been a problem for us.

139
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 6: So we need to make sure we put together a

140
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 6: plan that limits their ability to do that. And then

141
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 6: we've got to get the execution out of all eleven

142
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 6: to make sure that we're not doing anything from a

143
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 6: self inflicted standpoint to limit you know, yesterday having over

144
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 6: six yards of play and sustaining some a good start

145
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 6: again and just not able to sustain it with the

146
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 6: kind of consistency that we need. And to me that

147
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 6: you know falls directly on me.

148
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 3: Is Wang when he's on.

149
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: All those conversations are like with him about coming back.

150
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, we you know, when we put him on IR.

151
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 6: You know, the phrase I use for him was I

152
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 6: wanted him banging down my office door to get back

153
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 6: on the field. And you know he's he's doing really well.

154
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 6: He got some really good work in on the side

155
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 6: field last week, really no issues whatsoever. And that was

156
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 6: kind of the whole knowing that the anticipation was, you know,

157
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 6: we would hopefully open his window at some point and

158
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 6: get him back practicing and then see, you know how

159
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 6: he responds to that, you know, actually getting on the

160
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 6: practice field, getting in the huddle a little bit. But

161
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 6: but he's doing really well. You know, he wanted to

162
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 6: go through a full weekend, stayed at the hotel and

163
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 6: everything on Saturday, kind of getting back into what that

164
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 6: rhythm kind of looks like. So very encouraged with where

165
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 6: Ryan's at, and I know he is too.

166
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 5: Better.

167
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 7: As you go through the playfall in sequence, when you

168
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,719
Speaker 7: have those both starts in verson fifteen, how much does

169
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 7: that change the likelihood of running the spot knowing kind

170
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 7: of distance being very.

171
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 6: Well, I think the thing you run into Ben is

172
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 6: like you're you're going into a first and fifteen, so

173
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 6: you're really kind of limiting, you know, the under center stuff.

174
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 6: You know, you're the defense can then take a little

175
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 6: bit more risk, whether it's pressures into runs or forcing

176
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 6: you to have to maybe get to a secondary run

177
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 6: because of some of those looks. So a lot of

178
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 6: times what you do is you activate some of your

179
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 6: gun runs. But then you know, once again, those those

180
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 6: plays can be determined a lot by you know, some

181
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 6: some triggers of whether we're going to have a post

182
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 6: snap response and maybe throw the ball anyway on a

183
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 6: bubble or some sort of variation to kind of have

184
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 6: a solution for a run problem. So a lot of

185
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 6: times you're just trying to get back on track to

186
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 6: like in a couple in many of the cases, we

187
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 6: were able to get to a second and eight, you know,

188
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 6: after being first and fifteen or immediately, like, you know,

189
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 6: we completed a ball to Jordan Edison for twenty plus

190
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 6: on a you know, and called the same play that

191
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 6: we had called on the on the first down sequence.

192
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 6: But with the disappointing ones are the ones where you've

193
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 6: stacked a couple good runs and in some cases explosive

194
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 6: runs ten plus, and then you're just trying to continue

195
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 6: to see if you can keep that early down not

196
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 6: only efficiency, but you're stealing chunks of yards with those plays,

197
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 6: and now you know, you get into first and fifteen

198
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 6: and you have to There's a lot a lot more

199
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 6: variables come up from a standpoint of, you know, solving

200
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 6: problems that could either create more negatives or you know,

201
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 6: a limit limit your ability to use tempo, you know,

202
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 6: things that then help you kind of tilt the scales

203
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 6: back to even even though you got to get fifteen

204
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 6: instead of ten. But yeah, I you know, looking at

205
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 6: the you know, looking at the stat line and all

206
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 6: those things. Would have loved to, you know, have a

207
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 6: sequence of the end of game where we could stay

208
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 6: true normal football and be able to keep running it

209
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 6: because I thought the guys did a good job. We

210
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 6: got off to a slow start in the run game,

211
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 6: but we're able to offset it with going through for

212
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 6: four on third down early on in the game, put

213
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 6: the ball in the end zone. Thought we had a

214
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 6: chance on you know, that third and long play where

215
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 6: we threw the ball back to JJ kind of got

216
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 6: the whole defense flowing and we just had to make

217
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 6: one block and didn't make it, and that could have

218
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 6: been four or four to start the day on third down.

219
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 5: Then you get the run game going.

220
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 6: But like I said, those are all what ifs and

221
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 6: should I could have would us and.

222
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 2: We did not like most about Joe and nail Or

223
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 2: he's really and some unbelievable.

224
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's I mean, I've I've tried to make any

225
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 6: opportunity and you guys have done a good job noticing

226
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 6: him before yesterday and asking me about him throughout the year.

227
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 6: You know, what does he mean to our offense and

228
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 6: the role he's playing. Uh, Jalen basically had the same

229
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 6: game he's had, you know, throughout the season. He just

230
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 6: you know, got some big targets and some big moments

231
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 6: and continues to just impress me with his physicality on

232
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 6: early downs in the run game, his ability to I mean,

233
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 6: he had some really good blocks on Kyle Hamilton fitting

234
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 6: in there in the in the box in the run game.

235
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 5: And then just you know, you saw the speed on.

236
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 6: The first you know, the third down long ball, the

237
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 6: run after catch, you know, turning that into a sixty

238
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 6: plus yard game, the touchdown on the fourth down. You know,

239
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 6: really where we kind of got an unscouted look. I

240
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 6: think they've run that coverage one time all season compared

241
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 6: to some of the other things they were running.

242
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 5: And that's what happens when you're in a fourth and.

243
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 6: Five and put yourself in a long sequence and go

244
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 6: backwards self inflicted.

245
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 5: Wise, you could get something like that.

246
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 6: And I thought JJ made an incredible throw and heck

247
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 6: of a catch by by Jalen Naylor.

248
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 5: Still, you know, would have.

249
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 6: Loved to get more out of the target share to

250
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 6: some of our other players, trying to get you know,

251
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 6: those guys going. But but yeah, I thought Speedy was

252
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 6: huge for us, really taking advantage of his opportunities.

253
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 8: Kevin with twenty two incompletions, I was wondering, like, where

254
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 8: are some of those easier completions to TJ than too

255
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 8: don't really see a lot of anymore.

256
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, I thought, you know, I thought we had a

257
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 6: chance at the one, you know, the third down conversion

258
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 6: of Naylor over the middle.

259
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 5: TJ was really the primary out on the red.

260
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 6: Line, kind of simulating a screen that we had run

261
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 6: early in the game to Aaron Jones against the Lions.

262
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 6: Got the defense to bite. JJ was playing fast and

263
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 6: just got off of it, but there could have he

264
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 6: ended up converting to Naylor over the middle. But there,

265
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 6: you know, I think that the biggest thing is is

266
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 6: TJ's a major part of what we do, and and uh,

267
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 6: you know.

268
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 5: A couple of the false start.

269
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 6: Penalties, you know, he you know, he's the primary and

270
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 6: those you know, kind of more manageable d n d

271
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 6: s and then you start thinking about ten plus and

272
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 6: protection and trying to convert on some of those startles.

273
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 6: But it's no excuse. We got to get TJ involved

274
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 6: in the game more. We got to find them because

275
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 6: you're you're absolutely right, You're right.

276
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 5: We need those We need those plays.

277
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 6: They've been a huge part of our offense since we

278
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 6: acquired them, for sure. And then when you're looking at

279
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 6: some of the block shots, I think we had four.

280
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 5: All four of those were.

281
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 6: You know, looking at uh, you know, backside and cut

282
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 6: to Jordan.

283
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,479
Speaker 5: Addison's going to be an explosive.

284
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 6: Jordan probably in the red zone on the last one

285
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 6: is going to be a touchdown if not getting back

286
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,599
Speaker 6: to TJ, you know, on the backside of that progression,

287
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 6: and just some of just some of those things where

288
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 6: you know when you're not totally synced up and you're

289
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 6: kind of reaching a little bit at times, it felt

290
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 6: like we're pressing once we got down especially, and then

291
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 6: you know when you consider we had no none of

292
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 6: those pre snap penalties in the first quarter, but then

293
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 6: they go to to and four the rest of the way,

294
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 6: just kind of putting ourselves in a in a in

295
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 6: a tough spot that gets you out of those d

296
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,719
Speaker 6: and ds where TJ has always been pretty significant for us.

297
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 9: As you went back to the table, what did you

298
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 9: think of JJ's second half.

299
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought, like what happens to many quarterbacks.

300
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 6: As games goes went on, you know, there was some

301
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 6: there were some inconsistencies there, but still there was some

302
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 6: playmaking and some competes that I think are are are

303
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 6: are pretty unique to to JJ. So if we can

304
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 6: just get I thought, you know, throughout the early part

305
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 6: of the game, the deep ball to Naylor, the reset

306
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 6: back where we might have had TJ. But he's you know,

307
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 6: compacted in the pocket, a little push there. I thought

308
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 6: he had some good pocket movement. It's just you know,

309
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 6: like like with a lot of young quarterbacks in this

310
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 6: phase of where he's at right now, where we're you know,

311
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 6: getting a lot of these snaps on the fly. It's

312
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 6: not just that subtle climb back to that safe spot

313
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 6: because I did think we had some good pockets for him.

314
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 6: It's the it's the subtle climb and then you know,

315
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 6: come into balance instead of two or three climbs, and

316
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 6: then all of a sudden that push or the block

317
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 6: shot comes into play.

318
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 5: So I just think it's all it's all.

319
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 6: Normal in my opinion, part of part of kind of

320
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 6: where he's at and his development, which is something that's

321
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 6: very encouraging.

322
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 5: You know.

323
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 6: The the great part is seeing the competes and the

324
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 6: will to win and his ability to play that style

325
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 6: of game that we had to play, especially late.

326
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 5: But that's not the game we want to play right now.

327
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 6: And I got to do a better job keeping us

328
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 6: in that game. And whether it's you know, I'd spent

329
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 6: a lot of time thinking about that third and one call,

330
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 6: you know, late into the evening to try to you know,

331
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 6: zero coverage justin Jefferson on you know, in a one

332
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 6: on one situation, and there's a lot of one hundred

333
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 6: times you call that play. You don't think you know,

334
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 6: that one out of ninety nine where he gets tripped

335
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 6: up and ends up being an interception going back the

336
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 6: other way, not getting to run the run the ball

337
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 6: and four downs.

338
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 5: You know, as the head coach.

339
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 6: You get to make decisions, and you know, I made

340
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 6: the decision we were being four down even before that

341
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 6: third and one at that point in time in the

342
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 6: field and came back to bite us for sure in

343
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 6: a huge, huge way. So we wanted to, you know,

344
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 6: take some shots in the game. You know, JJ throws

345
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 6: the deep ball very well, and and uh, you know,

346
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 6: we didn't really get the value received from it in

347
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 6: the football game outside of you know.

348
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 5: The third down throw to Jalen early in the game.

349
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 9: After thinking through that, do you are you still would

350
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 9: you still do it again?

351
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 6: Or is it best receiver in football with in a

352
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 6: one on one with with with a run call you

353
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 6: know you feel good about on fourth and one, I

354
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 6: would not change that call.

355
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 9: And no, Justin, you talk a lot about this year,

356
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 9: especially about him being your sort of energy guy leadership.

357
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 9: I'm just curious how you kind of saw his body

358
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 9: language on a few of those plays, especially after the interceptions.

359
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think there was some frustration and maybe with

360
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 6: the you know, having a couple of calls go his

361
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 6: way from a from a you know, a referee standpoint.

362
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 6: But that's all part of the game, and he got

363
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 6: frustrated there a little bit. He's so competitive, he wants

364
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 6: to make those plays, especially when he is you know,

365
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 6: I'm not I think he had twelve targets in the

366
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 6: game and wants to make the impact. You know, we've

367
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 6: we've got competitors, and sometimes that thing can present itself

368
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 6: differently when you're talking about this guy to the next guy.

369
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 6: But I have no concerns with Justin. If anything, you know,

370
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 6: this time of year, I am always thinking about he

371
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 6: plays a lot of snaps and just where can we

372
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 6: you know, where can we find you know, those times,

373
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 6: maybe even throughout the week to make sure that you know,

374
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 6: we're taking care of him so he can be at

375
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 6: his best on Sundays as we roll into kind of

376
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 6: the second.

377
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 5: Half of the season here. But no, I you know, whether.

378
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 6: It's the the chances to get him the ball in

379
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 6: his hands. I thought JJ made a great throw on

380
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 6: another one where it was a bang bang play at

381
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 6: the goal line, and you know, we just didn't connect

382
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 6: and it was kind.

383
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 5: Of like that in some critical moments of the game.

384
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 6: But we'll get back to work and nobody will leave

385
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 6: the charge more than justin.

386
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: With JJ's development.

387
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 10: How much are you finding yourself kind of minding him,

388
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 10: like throughout games or the week to not press or

389
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 10: to kind of stay he brings so much intensity.

390
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, a lot.

391
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 6: I think it's a I think it's a factor, I

392
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 6: really do, you know, because he's so competitive and and

393
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 6: he's a very you know, he's a high football IQ

394
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 6: guy and wants to make the play and as many

395
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 6: young quarterbacks have to learn over time, sometimes I thought

396
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 6: he had some great checkdowns, you know, one to Jordan

397
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 6: out in the flat on a tempo play. One to

398
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 6: Aaron Jones on a play action play you know, out

399
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 6: of the out of the twenty one grouping where he

400
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 6: just kind of gets to the top of his drop,

401
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 6: feels the defense lifting a little bit, and we end

402
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 6: up with twelve thirteen yards on a very simple play.

403
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 6: And it's just production moving the ball forward where it

404
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 6: should not be, a you know, a worldly lift of

405
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 6: moving heaven and earth. The defense plays what they play.

406
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 6: Sometimes there's some throws there down the field. Sometimes there's

407
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 6: great opportunities to put the ball in play check down

408
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 6: wise that are either right in front of you, or

409
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 6: you've got to work through a progression, you know, when protected.

410
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 6: And you know there were some really good examples of

411
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 6: that too. It's just when you're in you know, you

412
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 6: get seventeen of these things and you're in an NFL game,

413
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 6: that how the circumstances of the game play out, many

414
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 6: of which we directly let ourselves into. You know, you

415
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 6: got to play that game to try to win, and

416
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 6: that doesn't always puzzle piece fit hint in hand with

417
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 6: where you would like the game to be. For for

418
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 6: the ascension of his development, but I still think with

419
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 6: all experience being good experience for him right now. You'd

420
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 6: love to make them all after wins, but we got

421
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 6: to do We got to do the things required as

422
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 6: a team, and then you know, JJ is gonna make

423
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 6: a lot of those plays for us. And like I said,

424
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 6: the competes, you know, the his his willing willingness to

425
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 6: lay it, lay it on the line and try to

426
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 6: make the plays are very much things we knew about him.

427
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 6: But now it's just about continuing to carve this thing

428
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 6: and shape it in a way where we're helping him

429
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 6: become the best version of of of himself, both short

430
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 6: term and long term.

431
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: You're thinking questions, guys.

432
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 7: Frank help him. Is there anything you have to think

433
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 7: about there?

434
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 5: Creating from the team button? Yeah?

435
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 6: Yeah, we you know, every game, you know, we we

436
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 6: we try to have those in whether they're getting Aaron

437
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 6: Jones touches and those get considered rushes like they did

438
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 6: against Detroit, or you know, some some run plays that

439
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 6: are called and you know, we get a chance to

440
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 6: throw justin a ball for eleven yards just you know,

441
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 6: it's like a free throw shoot, It's like a three

442
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 6: point get into the free throw line. If you know,

443
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 6: if they've missed a couple a lot of times you

444
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 6: see Steph Curry get to the free throw line and

445
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 6: all of a sudden he doesn't miss again.

446
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 5: For a quarter Like quarterback is such a rhythmic thing.

447
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 6: Seeing the ball go through the net can help, but

448
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 6: at the same time, it's it's also you know, the

449
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 6: difference being you know, the the defense plays a lot

450
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 6: into the things that are going to take away. Maybe

451
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 6: those layup throws have to be backsiding cuts or underneath

452
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 6: routes to Adam feelin or to just kind of progress

453
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 6: and put the ball in play. And you know, obviously

454
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 6: with some of the unique things we see coverage wise,

455
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 6: with Justin it can't always be you know, it can't

456
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 6: always be just a simple proposition. Sometimes it's going to

457
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 6: require saying no to something which hopefully by design we've

458
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 6: put eligibles in his vision or checkdowns in place so

459
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 6: he can, you know, see the ball go through the net.

460
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 6: But I think to Mark's question earlier, you know that's

461
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,199
Speaker 6: where TJ comes into play. The running backs on some

462
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,199
Speaker 6: of those checkdowns can be great options to kind of

463
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 6: steal the rhythm in a lot of ways. If it's

464
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 6: been lost for a sequence of place.

465
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,239
Speaker 1: Thank you day, and there it is.

466
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 2: That's the head coach the soon to be Big Game

467
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 2: World champion Minnesota Vikings, Kevin O'Connell.

468
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: There were a lot of false start penalties, a lot.

469
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 2: Maybe I think I saw the stat it was the

470
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,719
Speaker 2: most false start penalty at home since like two thousand

471
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 2: and two or something.

472
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 1: There was a long time ago whenever it was.

473
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 2: And you don't you expect that on the road for

474
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 2: the visiting team, right, And the coach alluded to or

475
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 2: something about the cadence.

476
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 5: And so.

477
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 2: Not only is a quarterback learning how to play the position,

478
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 2: he's already also needs to learn how to go omaha

479
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 2: omaha a proper way, which seems like a elementary But

480
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 2: I guess he was throwing off.

481
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 3: And then I think there was some I saw on

482
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 3: a story one of.

483
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 2: The Vikings said, well, they were the Ravens were trying

484
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 2: to throw us off with but that happens all the

485
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 2: time in games, I think it said too.

486
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: So I don't know, but yeah, that's after like four

487
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: then you kind of get together and let's try to

488
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 1: fix this whole false start thing we have been were

489
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 1: at home here and we we let's figure.

490
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 3: Out the kid it was, and it was costly and

491
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 3: on vacasions.

492
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 2: As a coach just said, of course there were one,

493
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 2: and they were happening on first and ten, and now

494
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 2: suddenly it's first and fifteen.

495
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 1: Have my speaker with yeah, you do, okay, we're back.

496
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of more on on first and fifteen's

497
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 2: and that's that's uh on first and tens and that

498
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 2: that that gets you to a first and fifteen and

499
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 2: then then you're you're making it more difficult on yourself

500
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 2: than you already are. Yeah, you know, it's funny the

501
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 2: the the text messages, and again it's it's unscientific.

502
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: Not everybody uses the branch on Briden kpign text line,

503
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: and that's not the only place you go.

504
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 2: Well, that's that's how, that's how the you know, that's

505
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 2: the prevailing wisdom or the opinion of all the fans.

506
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 2: But it seems like Eire they're already really annoyed with

507
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 2: with Jefferson or with with a McCarthy, or they're saying

508
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 2: he's young. Give them time, and there's only twenty two.

509
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 2: Didn't play a lot of college ball, And I think

510
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 2: it can be both.

511
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: I think you could.

512
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 2: I I don't see why. It's it's it's wrong to

513
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 2: be both. You couldn't be in short term. I still

514
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 2: think he has long potential. Yes, that's what I'm saying.

515
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 2: It's like it's I mean, we kind of did go

516
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 2: into the season. I think when you're I'm sorry, when

517
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 2: you come off a where were twelve and four thirty?

518
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: What was our record last? Thirteen four?

519
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 5: Last?

520
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: When you're thirteen and four, we're playing for the number

521
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: one season in the NFC, the last of the season.

522
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 2: And then you bring back the vast majority of those players,

523
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 2: and you add to it with players hand pitch, and

524
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 2: youknes yeah, but you kind of all, I am kind

525
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 2: of pumped up here. You know, you're you're kind of

526
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 2: expecting a little more. And it's not all the quarterbacks fault.

527
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 2: You can say that maybe the head coach and the

528
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 2: staff we're putting too much on him. And that goes

529
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 2: back to that quarterback whisperer stuff, which the coach did

530
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 2: say on the nationally televised game against I think it

531
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 2: was before the Chargers game.

532
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: I don't recall if it was. I think it was

533
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: before the Chargers game.

534
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 2: Where he said looky, did we play Philadelphia already? Yes,

535
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 2: maybe it was before the Philly game where he said

536
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 2: he didn't like that quarterback whisperer thing, but he did

537
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 2: say he takes a lot of pride in how this organization.

538
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 3: He's talking about himself a lot too.

539
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 2: Because he's he's the guy that's really working hand in

540
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 2: hand with the quarterback he played the position. They take

541
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 2: pride in coaching guys up and get him off to

542
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 2: a fast start, right, That's what I'm anticipating, is they

543
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 2: see enough in him and they can move him along

544
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 2: at a little quicker pace than we've seen, sort of

545
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 2: like Jayden and Daniels. You know, I brought up Jayden Daniels.

546
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 2: Someone set back text Ham. Well he hasn't been.

547
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 1: That good this year.

548
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 2: Well, all right, but he was really good last year

549
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 2: in his rookie year. So my point exactly, and it's

550
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 2: but my point is being a rookie and in your

551
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 2: first year doesn't preclude you from being really good because

552
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 2: it happen.

553
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 3: Yes, it happens.

554
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 2: And that's not to say to give up on him,

555
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 2: but I don't. I don't see why you can't be disappointed.

556
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 2: Like man, I really thought we were gonna have a

557
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 2: coming off of last year and add to the offensive

558
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,959
Speaker 2: and defensive lines. Man, I really thought, well, you know,

559
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 2: and I thought McCarthy was going to be you know,

560
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 2: the coach.

561
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 3: You know, the organization trusts him.

562
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: Their vault in that.

563
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 2: We had a guy named Sam Darnold who was as

564
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 2: good as any quarterback in the league last year except

565
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 2: for one game.

566
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: And he was bad. Right now, is as good as

567
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 1: anyone of the lady exactly.

568
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 3: So it's like, very well, so it's okay to question.

569
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 2: I think and go. Man, I'm a little disappointed with

570
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 2: waste played so far. He's shown signs he's got an

571
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 2: alter ego, which is important.

572
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 3: They could make a mos go to that one a

573
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 3: little bit more.

574
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 5: I do too.

575
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: They could make a Marvel comic character out of them,

576
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: or maybe d C comics.

577
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 3: I was always a DC guy. Were you a comic

578
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 3: book kid?

579
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 5: I was?

580
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: And I like d C better than Marvel.

581
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I like Spider Man, Common Man, No Show Prep,

582
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 2: no Solid Plant, I did, but I always like Batman

583
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 2: was my favorite, especially Batman Detective comics where they were

584
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 2: dark and brooding. The artwork was that way. Bob Kane

585
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 2: was the guy who came up with Batman?

586
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 1: But anyway, by the way, one of the best kids

587
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: movies I've seen is the Lego Batman. Is it really

588
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: really good?

589
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 4: Yeah?

590
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 1: I missgoing to kids.

591
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 5: Boys.

592
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 1: Oh it's so good. You should watch it even as

593
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: an adult. You'd like it.

594
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 3: I've told you the story I saw. Here's a who

595
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 3: nine weekends.

596
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: In a row in a row, your choice, your kids.

597
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 2: The kids wanted to keep going back, and I'm okay

598
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 2: with it because I like, I like get lost.

599
00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: You want to know why they want to go. They

600
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: get candy there. That's why I like. Well, they liked

601
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 1: the movie too.

602
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think I've told you that that's not.

603
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: The way candy worked.

604
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 2: I parceled it out to them during that I never

605
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 2: just said, here here's your box a Reese's pieces, knock

606
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 2: yourself oox. I looked at the kids and said, they'll

607
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 2: be gone before the previews are over.

608
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 3: So my boys would sit there quietly.

609
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 2: Not they could eat the popcorn, but when it came

610
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 2: to the candy, they'd go, can I have some? And

611
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 2: I would give them five or six. They would have

612
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 2: to They would have to be very It's what I'm

613
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 2: looking for. Deciduous, No, deciduous is a tree. They would

614
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 2: they would have to they'd have to carefully pick.

615
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: Their spots of one.

616
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 2: They wanted to eat their candy if they ate all

617
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 2: five Reese's pieces right away, they didn't get any for

618
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 2: another ten or fifteen minutes. But yes, I loved, I

619

Speaker 2: loved going to the movies. Will we'll take a break,

00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 3: Sorry about that major astor in the studio.

635
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 2: You know, I asked you last week, I think you

636
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 2: like olives and you said no, And I love olives,

637
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 2: I love all loves. And who is a healthy fat?

638
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 2: I had him in a tupperware container. I had some

639
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 2: of the olive oil in it, and the tupperware container,

640
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 2: I guess the top was.

641
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 8: No.

642
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 2: There's olive oil everywhere. And I don't know if you

643
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 2: ever had. Oh, it's just awful. I've been dealing with

644
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 2: it for about the past half hour.

645
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: You've got to be kidding me.

646
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 2: It's a mess, just like the Vikings right now. I

647
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 2: keep getting these text from people. He's really young, he's

648
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 2: you know, and it's that's meaningless to me.

649
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: We're not getting up on him long term. Yeah, and

650
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: that's to.

651
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 2: Me, that's meaningless. It doesn't matter if he's young. Then

652
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 2: blame that on the coach for over a team. That's yeah,

653
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 2: it's like, that's what you should have done, because I

654
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 2: do think it's I think there's part there's some ego

655
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 2: I play here with the coach, bring me anybody else,

656
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 2: I bring him here. I'll coach him up. I'll coach

657
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 2: him right up. We'll have this kid on the fast track.

658
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 2: He's got a lot of talent and I'll bring the

659
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 2: most out of me. I will take him to that

660
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 2: next level and we'll do it quickly. And they still could.

661
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 2: It could still happen this year. Hell, it could happen

662
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 2: next week. I mean, let's face it. He was brilliant

663
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 2: in the fourth well, I guess maybe just strong, but

664
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 2: he was really good in that fourth quarter against the

665
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 2: Bears game.

666
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: In the against the Bears and the Bears game.

667
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 2: Man, he had his struggles against the Falcons, and since

668
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 2: then he's been hot and cold. He's had some moments

669
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 2: he makes. He's he can throw a little bit, but

670
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 2: he should be able to if you're the tenth pick. Overall,

671
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 2: it's not only he never played the position before. I

672
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 2: just think when you went when when you you you

673
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 2: made the teammate their bed. They got to sleep in it,

674
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 2: and all of us have to do as well. You

675
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 2: just have to deal with the growing pains of the kid.

676
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 2: And I look at a lot of text messagers wanted

677
00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 2: to do exactly that.

678
00:31:59,400 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: That's what they say.

679
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 2: They said, stop playing once Karthy's ready playing, because we

680
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 2: got to see what we've gotten. We're seeing what we've gotten.

681
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 2: It's I just hope it doesn't take too terribly long.

682
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 2: Should we do five, three, four?

683
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: Sure? Or do you want to do it at the

684
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: bottom of the hour?

685
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 2: Uh?

686
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: Probably when filled the tear bottom the hour. But yeah,

687
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: at this point we got like four minutes.

688
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 2: So we got like four minutes, and then why don't

689
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 2: we Well, here's what I wanted to talk about a

690
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 2: little bit with you, Yes.

691
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: Sper, Yeah, that's what I was gonna bring up. A Well,

692
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: let's just first, let's do the first question. Let's do

693
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: the first question.

694
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 4: Time now for.

695
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 11: Five questions? Well, actually three, but five sounds like more

696
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 11: than four. Question number one.

697
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 12: Time now for an in depth look at the state

698
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 12: of the state of hockey.

699
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: Yesper, Vall said, had a thirty six save shutout as

700
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: a Wild blank the Flames to nothing last night at

701
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: Grand Casino Arena. Vall said, also backstop the Wild to

702
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: a five to two win over the New York Islanders

703
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: on Friday night, so we got back to back starts.

704
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: He's three zero to two for a two point five

705
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: to one goals against average and a nine nine say percentage,

706
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: while Philip Gustavson, the starter, is four seven and one

707
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: of the three point one nine goals against average in

708
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: eight ninety six, say percentage common? Do we have a

709
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: goaltender controversy on our hands in Saint Paul? Well, I

710
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: think we do. And didn't you bring us up last week?

711
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 5: I did? You were.

712
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: Didn't know why they weren't going to this earlier? You

713
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: were a frontal Yeah.

714
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 5: You were.

715
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: You were.

716
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 2: You were basically almost you were calling out the coach

717
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 2: on one hundred thousand watt radio saying what are you

718
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 2: waiting for?

719
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,479
Speaker 3: And they go with the backup kid and he was.

720
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: He was really really good.

721
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 3: So now you ride the hot hand, right, you don't, right?

722
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: I mean you're still gonna play both, but instead of

723
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: a one and a two, maybe it now becomes a

724
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: one a one B. I think yesper is earning more

725
00:33:55,720 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: ice time and Gustuson definitely hasn't done anything to keep

726
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: a spot, so to me, yeah, I mean it doesn't

727
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: mean the ball say is just gonna be starting every

728
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,399
Speaker 1: game here for the next two weeks, but he should be.

729
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:13,320
Speaker 1: I'm glad they went back to him because up until

730
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,439
Speaker 1: this weekend, it was always wow, maybe we'll get yes,

731
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: you know, yes for a start on a back to

732
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: back or kind of situation. But Gustsen's our guy and

733
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna let him work through it. They're not in

734
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: a situation this early in the year given where they

735
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 1: were where they can just try to worth work through things.

736
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 1: They need to get some ws and fortunately got to

737
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,439
Speaker 1: this weekend at least put them back into relevance here.

738
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, you play the goalie that's giving you the

739
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: best chance to win. And I know Gustison just got

740
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: the new contract, but Volston was always thought to be

741
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: goaltender of the future. It was just a matter of

742
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: when that development would come right because he's just like

743
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy, he's very young. He hasn't been he didn't

744
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: have a good year last year in Iowa. I think

745
00:34:58,239 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 1: a lot of that was the team in front of

746
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: him as well. But if he's shown you can he

747
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,720
Speaker 1: can play, his ceiling is higher than Philip Gustison's ceiling,

748
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: at least in terms of where they're projected as prospects. Yeah,

749
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: he was at one point considered the best prospect goaltender

750
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: in the world, and he played great last night. He

751
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: was in control of the entire time. So for a

752
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: team that's needing to win some games and gain some confidence,

753
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: and that hasn't had good goaltending if you start getting

754
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: a little bit of go because you got to ride

755
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: with it a little bit.

756
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 3: We've talked.

757
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: I'm glad they went back to him last night after

758
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 1: the win Friday night.

759
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 2: Cliches are cliches generally speaking, because they're true. And they'll

760
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 2: say Tennebee and it was if you'll remember, it was

761
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 2: a former intern of ours, notorious dig that taught us this,

762
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,760
Speaker 2: what's the most important individual position in sports?

763
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: The quarterback position, which I didn't know until he probably.

764
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 2: Not either I would say one A or one B

765
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 2: would be goaltender in hockey because we've talked about it

766
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 2: in terms of impact on the game. Yes, we've talked

767
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 2: about it hundreds hundreds hundreds of times. A hot goaltender

768
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 2: can take you a long way. He can save games

769
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 2: for you if you keep the puck out of it.

770
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 2: If the other team doesn't score, it's impossible to lose.

771
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: It also allows the players in front of you to

772
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: play with confidence when they know that you got a

773
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: guy like if you make a mistake, he's going to

774
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: have your back. They just psychologically it has an impact

775
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: on the team.

776
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 2: He had two terrific games. He's hot, Keep playing them,

777
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 2: keep playing. You're right, you have to, you know, you

778
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 2: have to give him a break. Brick Wall, He's a

779
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 2: brick wall Walstead.

780
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 1: It's speed like wall, but it's pronoun just like the

781
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: Yesper is a j but it's pronounced with the Y yes. Yes,

782
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: I'd say yes to Yesper. How do you think rose

783
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,800
Speaker 1: and pronounces it? He probably does both ways.

784
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 2: He probably calls him Jesper Wallstead in Yesper Ballstead. Just

785
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 2: to beat what kind of I get his podcast today?

786
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:59,319

821
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 11: For five questions? Well, actually three, but five sounds like

822
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 11: more than four. Question number two.

823
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, the hockey guys.

824
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 12: It's now time to take an in depth look at

825
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 12: the welfare of the Wolves side.

826
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: The Wolves won for the fourth time in five games,

827
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 1: beating the Kings one thirty three, one seventeen last night

828
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: in Sacramento. Anthony Edwards tali twenty six points, four rebounds,

829
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 1: five assists, and two steals. Seven Wolves players hit double

830
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 1: figures in scoring, including Jade McDaniels, who had a twenty

831
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: one and Rudy Gobert, he had nineteen points, twelve boards,

832
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 1: and a season high five blocks. This comes after the

833
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: Wolves smashed the Jazz by forty points on Friday night.

834
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 1: That's when they got tonight, by the way, common your

835
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 1: thoughts on the wolves dominating weekend, Well, a couple of things.

836
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 2: Speaking of bottom feeders, I mean, the teams they played

837
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 2: aren't very good, and that's okay. Those are the teams

838
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 2: we've had trouble winning those games. Yeah past, we take

839
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:45,720
Speaker 2: them lightly and put forth very little, much like Josh

840
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,479
Speaker 2: Allen and the Buffalo Bills. We don't outwork the other team,

841
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 2: we don't put forth a lot of effort. And also

842
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 2: there's the I guess that Commissioner's Cup is important to them,

843
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 2: because I did see a quote not after the last

844
00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 2: of the game before who did we beat just before that?

845
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, Utah. There was a quote from from Finch.

846
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 2: That said, you know, we I'm paraphrasing for something that

847
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 2: we're aware that point differential is big in this tournament.

848
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 2: So that says, run up the score otherwise, you know,

849
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 2: and that's okay, I mean running up the score. Do

850
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 2: you tell the other teams stop me? But I mean

851
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 2: that's why they that's part of the reason why the

852
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 2: wins look so impressive. It's the whole idea of why

853
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 2: they Yeah, because they try.

854
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 3: Because it's the whole reason they put the Commissioner's Cup.

855
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 2: Everybody, this is how sad it is. Don't people realize this?

856
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 2: Do you not see this? The reason they did the

857
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 2: Commissioner's Cup started it last year in the first place

858
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 2: was the league said, our guys don't try very hard

859
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 2: at the beginning of the season. They kind of just

860
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 2: go through the motions, play three quarters, kind of just

861
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 2: like pick up basketball. All team seems it's almost like

862
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 2: there's it's like a secret handshake. It's like an unwritten rule,

863
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 2: secret agree that we just hey, we you know, we

864
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 2: all just we're just going to kind of go three

865
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 2: quarters until the last two minutes of the game. And

866
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 2: if the if the game's in doubt, then we'll break

867
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,399
Speaker 2: us we and play. And that's okay if if you're

868
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 2: a fan of that, and you accept that and you're

869
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 2: in on it, if you're in on the bit, go

870
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 2: ahead and go for it. So in order to try

871
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 2: to stop that, they said, let's have an Is there

872
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 2: another league that doesn't in I think maybe they do

873
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,240
Speaker 2: it in soccer? Maybe is there another league that doesn't

874
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 2: ind season tournament. It's the most preposterous thing I've ever

875
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 2: heard of in my entire life. But they did it for

876
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,959
Speaker 2: a reason, and the reason is to try to get

877
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 2: the players to play one hundred percent or close to

878
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 2: it every single game from start to finish. And then

879
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 2: they throw in some nice money. I think each player

880
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,399
Speaker 2: gets like a million dollars for the biggest stars, it's

881
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 2: walking around money. For other guys making the NBA minimum,

882
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 2: it's a nice paycheck. So they're all for it, right,

883
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 2: and so that's why they that's why they did the

884
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 2: whole thing to begin with. And so it's sort of

885
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 2: like when you tell your kids, if you get an

886
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,280
Speaker 2: A on your report card, I'll give you some candy.

887
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 5: You know it.

888
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: That's what it is.

889
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 2: And so but yeah, I mean that's how they obviously

890
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 2: are capable of playing. The crazy thing is it seems

891
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 2: like there are a handful of teams in the league

892
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 2: that do that without the incentive.

893
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 1: They like to do that.

894
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 2: They want to play hard, they and maybe part of

895
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 2: it is the Wolves aren't as.

896
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 3: Good as I thought they were, or as told they were.

897
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 2: I had one person on the air staff tell me

898
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 2: on these very airways he thought they were going to

899
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 2: be the second seed.

900
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,359
Speaker 1: They very well still could be. But two games out

901
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 1: of the two seeds, Yeah, the sixth seed right now.

902
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:24,240
Speaker 2: Nice to win, that's it. Keep doing it, pound them,

903
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 2: play defense, score points.

904
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 1: Isn't it fun? I should thank your lucky stars are

905
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: in the NBA. Man. Now the hockey community is about

906
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: to go back to basketball. What do you think of that?

907
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: What do you guys think now?

908
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:43,320
Speaker 4: Question number three?

909
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 12: It's now time to take an in depth look at

910
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 12: the welfare of the Wolves.

911
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 1: According to John Krasinski of The Athletic, the Wolves have

912
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 1: of checked in on Jahn Morant common would you have

913
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: any interest in a trade for Jahn Morant?

914
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 2: Well, I think the talent's undeniable. He does have those

915
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 2: off the court issues. You know, you just never know

916
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 2: what what he's going to do next. But he is,

917
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:33,399
Speaker 2: he's got talent. I I don't know, I steet Rob

918
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 2: Dillingham wasn't the answer at point guard. I I don't know.

919
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 2: I I don't think I would. I think I'd stay

920
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 2: away because it wasn't just once, it was twice, but

921
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 2: there was it wasn't even gun issue guy taking place.

922
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: We had that multiple times. Yeah, it's like, okay, there's

923
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: a reason a guy that talented is kind of being

924
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: floated out of the trade record right now. That's that's

925
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: another reason it is though it is tough because let's

926
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 1: say you acquire Jam Morant, which is not only the

927
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,839
Speaker 1: weakness positional wise on your team right now, but he's

928
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: his top ten talent in the league, is he not?

929
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 1: And if you had Anton John Morant, is there anyone

930
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 1: in the league that would have a top two as

931
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 1: talented as those two? I don't know if there is.

932
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, but.

933
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 1: You also have a shot at going like that for

934
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: the next decade as long as Anthony Edwards is here,

935
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 1: Like they have a shot to go to the to

936
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: win an NBA championship on any given year. And you

937
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 1: do worry about someone like him coming in. I don't

938
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: know if And is mature enough yet to have a

939
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 1: guy like that who's immature on the team with him.

940
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: It's not like he's some grizzled betteran that can handle

941
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 1: an immature player. And I don't want to have Ant

942
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: go the wrong way. So it is an interesting conundrum because,

943
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: like I said, from a pure talent standpoint, I don't

944
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: think there would be anyone more talented than the Wolves

945
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: at their top two. And if you want to win

946
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 1: NBA championships, what do you mean with your top two?

947
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,240
Speaker 2: If you had the two of those on what your team,

948
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 2: you had Jaw and Ant Giant, would you trade them

949
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 2: both for Wembenyama?

950
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: I think I would. I think he's that good, that good.

951
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 2: Well, you know what's really funny is when off air

952
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 2: now Parker Fox isn't the final word, but we talked

953
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 2: about start talking to NBA, and I said, you know,

954
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 2: Rosen says he wouldn't trade Ant for Fox, that I

955
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 2: do it today And basically, you know, I think everybody,

956
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:36,439
Speaker 2: I think ninety out of one hundred people would Yeah,

957
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 2: and that would be you know, not just hand pretty

958
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 2: much anybody. The only guy don chicch. I think his

959
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 2: feelings were hurt. I think I think you know you

960
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 2: poke they waking up a sleeping giant or poking the

961
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 2: sleeping bear, whatever the hyperend need bear.

962
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 1: Because ever ever since I already.

963
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:54,479
Speaker 2: Went when when they Dallas GM said when we traded

964
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 2: him because he's pudgy and he doesn't play defense. It

965
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 2: ever In said, he's not pudging anymore and he seems

966
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 2: to play defense and his offense is off the.

967
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 1: Charts as good as anyone offense.

968
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think I think you you woke up

969
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 2: a sleepy giant or whatever that cliche is.

970
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: But just guess what if he's getting better defensively, you

971
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: can't cover both Aunt and Josh. No you can't.

972
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 2: Oh you mama can't stop him, Your daddy can't stop him,

973
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 2: The police can't stop him.

974
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 1: Nobody can stop So.

975
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 4: Question number three, NFL no huddle.

976
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,879
Speaker 1: You mentioned it earlier. Lions head coach Dan Campbell took

977
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 1: over the offensive play calling and they responded with a

978
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 1: forty four to twenty two win at Washington Common. Do

979
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: you have faith in Dan Campbell calling plays moving forward?

980
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:49,839
Speaker 2: Did you know that was one forty four to.

981
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:51,280
Speaker 1: Twenty two score Agami.

982
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 2: It only happened two other times in the National Football

983
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 2: They gueld happened twice yesterday due tour. Oh really, forty

984
00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 2: four to twenty two was another How is that possible?

985
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:00,800
Speaker 1: The Seattle game.

986
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 2: In the entire history of the NFL that scored only

987
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:07,839
Speaker 2: happened two other times. Forty four to twenty two twice yesterday.

988
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:09,879
Speaker 3: I just thought i'd throw that in there. I'm sorry

989
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 3: about that.

990
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: I did not know that. What was your question about it?

991
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: Do you have confidence in Dan or do you have

992
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: faith and Dan Campbell calling plays? Moving forward?

993
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 2: They were playing Washington right, Washington's struggling. They have no

994
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 2: offense whatsoever.

995
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 1: How about the fact that b flows so good he

996
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 1: altered well Detroit's plans for the season. Well, that's it.

997
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: That's what you know.

998
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 2: That Vikings defense did to Detroit what pretty much no

999
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,320
Speaker 2: other teams have been able to do. Now, Kansas City

1000
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:43,840
Speaker 2: messed with them a little bit, and who was in

1001
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 2: the opening, Green.

1002
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: Bay messed with him too. And I think a lot

1003
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 1: of people said, I.

1004
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,479
Speaker 2: You know, it's the first game under new coordinator, because

1005
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 2: the next two weeks they went back up to like

1006
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 2: fifty points. So I don't know how much of it

1007
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 2: was Danny Campbell calling. I listened to his news conference,

1008
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 2: and he was He tried to be very kind in

1009
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 2: his praise of John Morton, who is the offensive coordinator record,

1010
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:12,760
Speaker 2: but because he said, oh no, John, still I'm leaning

1011
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 2: on him. We're still talking and doing.

1012
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: This and that.

1013
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 2: But I just he goes, I have some He goes,

1014
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 2: it's hard to get in this head of mine, what's

1015
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 2: rattling around in there, what he wants to see. In

1016
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,399
Speaker 2: other words, I think he's going, I don't think I'm

1017
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 2: conveying to you how I want the offense run, So

1018
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 2: I'm going to run it myself. And at least it

1019
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 2: worked for yesterday because they I mean they scored on

1020
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 2: nearly every possession.

1021
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: I think the first five or six times they had

1022
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 1: the football they either got a tuddy or a figure.

1023
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, they rebounded nicely. They've not lost two games

1024
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 2: in a row, I think since twenty twenty two. They

1025
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 2: find a way to bounce back and win. So good

1026
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 2: win for them. Bears are six and three. I'm beginning

1027
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 2: to like this Bears club. And then the Packers tonight

1028
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 2: take on Philly. Is that at Curly or at that's

1029
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 2: at curly, so we'll see. I mean, by the time

1030
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 2: the dust settle tonight the frozen tundra, the Lions could

1031
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:03,720
Speaker 2: be all alone in the first place.

1032
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 1: Actually, I think they're game and a half, aren't they.

1033
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 3: What if the greenay is five two and one Detroit

1034
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 3: six and.

1035
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 1: Three, Oh, they've got it.

1036
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, but I think the same record as the line,

1037
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:15,799
Speaker 2: so they'd be time for first.

1038
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:21,359
Speaker 1: The Lions have the tiebreaker on Chicago. Yes, they beat them.

1039
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills dropped to six and three after losing

1040
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 1: thirty to thirteen yesterday at Miami Common. Will Buffalo make

1041
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 1: the playoffs?

1042
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 3: I would think they would. What's their record now?

1043
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:36,479
Speaker 1: Six and three?

1044
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would think I would think they would.

1045
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 1: That's where I think one team, either Buffalo or Kansas City,

1046
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 1: is not making it. You think really, I think Buffalo

1047
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: beat Kansasity, so they currently have the tiebreaker.

1048
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 2: I heard I think it was on the Fox pregame show.

1049
00:49:55,080 --> 00:50:01,280
Speaker 2: They were talking about playoff possibilities and they say before

1050
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 2: yesterday's action, if the playoffs would have started this weekend,

1051
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 2: Kansas City wouldn't have made it. Yet, the odds makers

1052
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 2: still have them a favorite to win the big game.

1053
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 2: That's how confident they are in their homes and the chiefs.

1054
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 2: I think they can. You might be right, but I

1055
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,839
Speaker 2: think they'll both make the playoffs and it just it does.

1056
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,400
Speaker 1: But it's just like New England in the East. Yeah,

1057
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: their record. Indianapolis is going to make it in their division,

1058
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,399
Speaker 1: and then either Pittsburgh or Baltimore, which at this stage

1059
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna go Baltimore over Pittsburgh.

1060
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:30,399
Speaker 5: Right.

1061
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, So there's three of your teams, and then in

1062
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: the AFC West you've got Denver in LA, both ahead

1063
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:38,839
Speaker 1: of Kansas City. Kansas City is gonna have to beat

1064
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:40,320
Speaker 1: those teams. They're gonna have to beat the teams in

1065
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 1: their division during the stretch run here. But then you

1066
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:48,799
Speaker 1: throw in Buffalo, like one of those teams doesn't make it. Yeah,

1067
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 1: I guess you're right. You're saying it's gonna be the

1068
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 1: Kansas City or Buffalo. Yeah, could very well be.

1069
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:56,800
Speaker 2: I don't have this guy, and you know what, you know,

1070
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:57,240
Speaker 2: I was gonnay.

1071
00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 1: I don't have the schedules in front of me. I

1072
00:50:58,239 --> 00:50:59,840
Speaker 1: don't sure, And I don't.

1073
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:03,439
Speaker 2: Care about schedules anywherecause they don't matter, right, they really don't.

1074
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter who you're playing.

1075
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,320
Speaker 2: Who would have thought Buffalo would lose to the Miami Dolphins.

1076
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 2: They see you just don't see that coming, right. So

1077
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:13,760
Speaker 2: many games you see teams like, well, we'll.

1078
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 1: Get to it a little bit later.

1079
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 2: There's some Bears doubters out there, and well that's why

1080
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:19,359
Speaker 2: we're talking about next.

1081
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well we're.

1082
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 4: Good NFL no huddle.

1083
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, Caleb Williams rush for a touchdown late in the

1084
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,399
Speaker 1: twenty four to twenty win over the New York Giants.

1085
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 1: By the way, the Giants fired their head coach today.

1086
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 1: Common are you a Bears believer?

1087
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 2: Well, I've had several people send text messages saying, well,

1088
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 2: they haven't beat anybody, there'd being bottom feeders. And then

1089
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,880
Speaker 2: my response was, who who are the Vikings? Beat the

1090
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 2: Vikings beat Detroit. That's a nice win, right, that's a

1091
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:56,359
Speaker 2: really nice one. Who else have they beaten? Brown's Bengals

1092
00:51:56,520 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 2: in Chicago? In Chicago? And you're you're gonna, you're gonna,

1093
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 2: you're gonna minimi, You're gonna talk about the week schedule

1094
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 2: the Bears have played. Come on, folks, A lot of

1095
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:12,359
Speaker 2: it is not who you play, it's when you play them,

1096
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 2: and it is Timmy. This will be the third or

1097
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 2: fourth time I've said it today because it's one of

1098
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 2: my favorite cliches. It's a cliche I made up. Cliches

1099
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 2: are cliches generally speaking, because they're true and on any

1100
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:33,879
Speaker 2: given Sunday or Monday night, Thursday night, Sunday night, Tuesday night,

1101
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 2: regardless of what night it is, any team can beat

1102
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 2: any team.

1103
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 3: So I'm sorry, I I.

1104
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 2: The Bears have played better, and they've had to come

1105
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:43,840
Speaker 2: back against a couple of bottom feed or teams.

1106
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: That they won.

1107
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 3: Sorry, what's wrong with winning now? They might not be

1108
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 3: very good?

1109
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 2: They might they matter of fact, the Vikings haven't at

1110
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 2: home right this week?

1111
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: Is that at home? It's at the Bank right, Yes,

1112
00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 1: we're at home.

1113
00:52:57,640 --> 00:52:57,839
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1114
00:52:57,920 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 1: I think the Vikings will win the game.

1115
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 2: As long as we don't have eight fall starts, I

1116
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 2: think we can win.

1117
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 1: But if we have eight fall starts, I think we lose.

1118
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 1: The Packers host the Eagles tonight at lambeau Field Common.

1119
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:16,399
Speaker 1: Who wins tonight and why?

1120
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 2: Again, hard to handicap any of these games. I mean,

1121
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 2: Philadelphia defending Big Game World champs. Barkley Saquan is certainly

1122
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:28,839
Speaker 2: not out of the year that he had last year.

1123
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 2: Didn't Jalen e have a perfect quarterback rating against.

1124
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 1: US a few weeks ago? That's pretty good.

1125
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think defensively they're still solid, right, I

1126
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:45,919
Speaker 2: mean every team can't be fifteen and two every year,

1127
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 2: fourteen to three. Green Bay, you talk, Green Bay's had

1128
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 2: some disturbing losses, right.

1129
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 1: They've lost to the Browns in Carolina? In Carolina? Did

1130
00:53:59,120 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 1: they lose to this?

1131
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 3: Do they lose to the Steelers or didn't they know that?

1132
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:08,760
Speaker 1: Okay? But yeah, but they have.

1133
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 2: Not They've they've lost some games where you really you

1134
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 2: roll your eyes, shrug your shoulder, shake your head, scratch

1135
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:19,360
Speaker 2: your head, you know. So I when Love's on that,

1136
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 2: he's good man.

1137
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 1: But they lost craft for the year, right as I

1138
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:27,239
Speaker 1: think Golden's out tonight too. Yeah, I receiver.

1139
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 2: This isn't hatred towards the Packers and want him to lose,

1140
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:32,839
Speaker 2: but I think Philadelphia.

1141
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 11: And that's it for today's edition of five questions, Well,

1142
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:43,839
Speaker 11: actually three questions, but five sounds like more than four.

1143
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:44,879
Speaker 1: So let's do this.

1144
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:51,400
