Speaker 1: They dip back into divisional plays. They try to snap

5
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: a two game skin and work their way back into

6
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: playoff position. Sunday marks the one hundred and twenty seventh

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: regular season Border Battle. Head coach Kevin O'Connell is four

8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: and two against the Pack and swept them last season. However,

9
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: Green Bay is six three and one this year and

10
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: currently sitting at second in the division. We'll hear from

11
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: the Packers side of things. We welcome in the head

12
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: Cheese Dave Sinnekon onto the show. But first, our dear

13

Speaker 1: friend of the program, Eric Nordquist, joins us to give

14
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: us a pulse of the purple. Let's give a big

15
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: warm Welcome to Eric nord Quiz Preserve nine to noon.

16
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, is it weird to clap for yourself?

17
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: No, that wasn't That wasn't you. That was all the

18
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 1: live audience who.

19
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 3: Are learning from theater of the mind.

20
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: I love that, I love theater. Well, I actually want

21
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: to ask you about your mind, inside of it, in

22
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: your eyes, bigger rival. Bears are Packers for the Vikings.

23
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 2: Oh it's it's Packers, absolutely, And it is for me.

24
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: I mean divided household, my my father, grandfather, grandfather is

25
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: an owner as a matter of fact. Yes, Oh tough,

26
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 2: t fun fact, tough to mixed company. Father, lifelong Packers fan,

27
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 2: and and me. I I'm just all in on the purple.

28
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 2: So uh yeah, I think it's the Packers by ten miles.

29
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 2: I think in this division though, Packers, Bears and Lions.

30
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 2: There's a different kind of vitriol attached to each of

31
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: those teams for different reasons, But with the Packers, certainly

32
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: from a rivalry standpoint, stand up public enemy number one

33
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: for US Vikings fans.

34
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, how much does that change as you see the

35
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 1: team's jockey for NFC North divisional standings over the years.

36
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's that's a great question because if you

37
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: like in the now times now, I don't want the

38
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 2: Lions to win any game that includes us, and most

39
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: games that don't include us, but the Lions, you have

40
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: a hard time being mad at him because over the

41
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: last quarter century they've been so dreadful, empathetic and its

42
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: fans with the with the grocery.

43
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 3: Bags over their heads and all of that went.

44
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 2: Entire winless seasons that they've endured, and then it's kind

45
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: of a cool team, like you can't you know, you

46
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 2: can't hate Jared gar the whole.

47
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 3: Jamier Gibbs kind of a really cool player.

48
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: That I wish we had the head coach is you know,

49
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: he's got the he's got the Copenhagen stains on the

50
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 2: bottom row. But but he's kind of he's a coach

51
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: you can understand why people play for.

52
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 3: He gets the best out of this guy.

53
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: So you know, on its face as a franchise, I

54
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: can't hate the Lions. I just despise the idea of

55
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 2: losing to them, which is why that win at ford

56
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 2: Field was so cool.

57
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: That was really cool. Hoping for some of that magic

58
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: at lambeau Field on Sunday. So this is going to

59
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: be the first of two games against the Packers this season,

60
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: obviously by Vikings end the year against the Packers at home,

61
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: which will be super fun. Hopefully by the by the

62
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: end of it all, and hope it means something. That's

63
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: always the case and in order for it to mean something, Norto.

64
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: The Vikings need this win on the road. Both teams

65
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: kind of struggling to score recently. There's been a lot

66
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: of ups and downs right now in the last five weeks.

67
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: The Packers are averaging about twenty one point eight points,

68
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: but they had some two very low scoring numbers and

69
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: knocked that thing down, and then the VI game. Yeah,

70
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: the Vikings are averaging nineteen points a game.

71
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, we could have used twenty one and change this

72
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: last Sunday.

73
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: To use that. Yes, indeed, so so do you foresee

74
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: a low scoring game?

75
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 2: You know?

76
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: How does the elements play into it? All?

77
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: Well, I haven't looked at the weather rapport yet.

78
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: It's like forty four and clear sky, so okay, so

79
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: kind of have a nice atmosphere on his probably pretty

80
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: nice day, Thank goodness. I don't think I could take

81
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: some snow there at all.

82
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

83
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: Well, I it's tough for me to predict high scoring

84
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: endeavors by our favorite team until we continue to see

85
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: maybe a little more consistency out of JJ McCarthy. This

86
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 2: does feel, though, similar to that ford Field game as

87
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,679
Speaker 2: a reference the win over the Lions. This does feel

88
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 2: kind of like it's going to be a twenty seven

89
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: to twenty four as that game was, or twenty four

90
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 2: to twenty one.

91
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 3: It does feel kind of in that range.

92
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: Where you know they're the Packers are sweating the health

93
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 2: of Josh Jacobs ye, and we are sweating the consistency

94
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: of our young QB from a health standpoint. The Vikings

95
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 2: might actually believe it or not. Don't tell anybody. There's

96
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: a chance this will be the first game of the

97
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 2: season where we actually see all the players that we

98
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 2: were excited about the scene in the season. So I

99
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 2: hope that takes place where we're sweating the consistency of

100
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: the of the kid in charge number nine. So this

101
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 2: does look like it's a game where it's a slog

102
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: at times. You're going to see, I mean, just the Packers'

103
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: ability to find explosive plays, the up and down nature

104
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: of Jordan Love. They experienced good times bad times with him,

105
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 2: but he finds his way and it is really impressive

106
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: at six three and one. Just some of the things

107
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 2: that they've been challenged with this year. I find it

108
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: this is going to be a game of who gets

109
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 2: that bigger explosive near.

110
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 3: The end of the game.

111
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes sense.

112
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 3: That might find their way into the winners circle.

113
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's been a mix of outcomes for

114
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: the Packers QB against Brian Flores. Obviously, this Vikings team

115
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: blitz is the most in the NFL. Jordan Love has

116
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: had success against the Blitz over his career. However, last

117
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: year Vikings swept the Packers and actually Brian Flores is

118
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: undefeated at lambeau Field with the Vikings, so he kind

119
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: of seems like he's inside his head. Do we should

120
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: we expect that much from Brian Flores to be able

121
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: to outscheme what Jordan Love is capable of.

122
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 2: Well, if Josh Jacobs doesn't play. Part of the reason

123
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: I bring that up, that's kind of the a time

124
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 2: for them. Lafleur wants to run the ball forty times

125
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 2: a game, and he wants Jordan Love to be seventeen

126
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: to twenty one for two hundred yards, a couple of

127
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: touchdowns and a nice passer rating. So he wants efficiency

128
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: a couple of those explosives. And you know, whether that's

129
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 2: Matthew Golden. Christian Watson has emerged from obscurity. People forgot

130
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 2: about Christian Watson. Now he's scoring two tds. I think

131
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 2: in that most recent game they had with the Giants.

132
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 2: So I think that that plays into kind of what

133
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 2: you're talking about, the ups and downs of Jordan Love

134
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 2: and so what does that run game look like? And

135
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 2: then if because if they have to play left handed, yeah,

136
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 2: and they don't have Josh Jacobs. I think that's a

137
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 2: legit issue that the Packers may not be able to overcome.

138
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 2: Flores some of the issues he's had scheming against Ben Johnson.

139
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: He definitely does not have those in most other cases,

140
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: including this one. So I would anticipate and I trust

141
00:06:55,560 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 2: Flores to pitch another nice one at Lambeau on Sunday.

142
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 2: Whether or not he remains undefeated at Lambeau, Well, that's

143
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 2: dependent upon mister McCarthy.

144
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, it is. It is, and that actually let's

145
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: talk about the protection for JJ McCarthy in this one.

146
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: I think obviously you're watching the blitz against Jordan Love,

147
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: but I think the other eye, the other storyline to

148
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: keep your eye on would be the Packers pass rush,

149
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: which is ranking top five in the league against this

150
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: o line, which you brought up a great point. Will

151
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: Ryan call I be back, We're unsure if not. It

152
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: is a group that's been together for a little bit

153
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: more than one.

154
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 3: Game, sixteen or seventeen.

155
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: Crazy, but you know, it looked like it was a

156
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: promising trend last week with the pre snap penalties. So

157
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: now you're going into a hostile, loud, Lambeau.

158
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 3: Crowd from eight fallse starts to just one.

159
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: There we go there.

160
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 3: Week to week improvement, a.

161
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: Huge week to week improvement. So you but but now

162
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: you go into lambo, right, and you're up against this

163
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: pass rush in the what can you what can we

164
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: anticipate from that match up? That storyline?

165
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 2: Well, that's it's it's the same way we would talk

166
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: about when our front seven is cooking, how that might

167
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: help the situation on the back end.

168
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 3: It's the same conversation with the Packers.

169
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 2: The combination of Parsons and Edger and Cooper's really good

170
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: and you know.

171
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 3: They what they do up front is special.

172
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 2: And Halfley's defense deserves some praise for very for very

173
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 2: valid reasons. Uh, the protection upfront is going to meet

174
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 2: a lot we've seen, you know, of all the negatives

175
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: talking about the quarterback and just inconsistency, lack of accuracy,

176
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 2: et cetera. Uh, the last two games, one sack I

177
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 2: believe in the Ravens game, wasn't not sacked in the

178
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 2: Bears game, and so the commitment or not commitment wrong seaword.

179
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 2: The right sea word is continuity. In terms of the

180
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 2: offensive line, we have seen improvement there. Now the improvement

181
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: has to happen with the kid behind him, but pass protection,

182
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 2: specifically with a healthy Aaron Jones picking up an extra runner,

183
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 2: picking up or assisting maybe potentially on the left side

184
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 2: if Parsons is coming in Edgar and Cooper. Again, I

185
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 2: mentioned these two names because they are absolute game wreckers

186
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 2: for the Green and Gold. And as we you know,

187
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 2: the many things we want the kid QB to improve on,

188
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 2: all of that becomes moot and the conversation is dead

189
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 2: if we can't give him even that two two and

190
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 2: a half seconds to process as he gets better at that,

191
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 2: to find the right read as he needs to get

192
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,719
Speaker 2: better at that, and to play pitch and catch as

193
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 2: the coach says, that needs to get better. And it's

194
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 2: not going to get better if if McCarthy's laying on

195
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 2: his back and old number one's doing the sack dance

196
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 2: at his at his at his loss.

197
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: So you had a coach O'Connell on nine to Noon

198
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: this week for x's and o's what were what were

199
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: his main sentiments when it goes into you know, evolving

200
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: quarterback play for a young guy going into his only

201
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: sixth start of the year.

202
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 2: I cat, you know, I can only pick up because

203
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 2: they Kevin O'Connell. They are good conversations that he has

204
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 2: with us nine to noon, But it's not like he's

205
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 2: opening a vein and it's just the book is wide

206
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 2: open and we can read all the thoughts and all

207
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: the things that go into it.

208
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 3: So my vibe with it, what I.

209
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 2: Take from it is the combination of managing what's around

210
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy while simultaneously on the fly raising JJ McCarthy

211
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 2: that this is the biggest adversity and the biggest challenge

212
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 2: of his coaching career, and the sentiments around it. I

213
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 2: still feel that optimism, which I believe there should be.

214
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: Through five starts, you can play player comparisons and hey,

215
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 2: look what Josh Allen did early in his career, right,

216
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 2: and then somebody will say, well he didn't have Jefferson

217
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 2: and Addison. Well, then I will say, well, actually they

218
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 2: had one of the better defenses in the NFL. They

219
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 2: were a playoff team the year before they got him,

220
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 2: by the way. But all the same, you can play

221
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 2: those comparison games and I think you lose a lot

222
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: in that where we're not at any point just talking

223
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 2: about just being patient, and Kevin O'Connell actually has been

224
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 2: really honest over the course of time where it's I'm

225
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: not shortening the playbook, I'm actually not making it easier

226
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 2: on him. I'm going to construct this thing to accentuate

227
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: the things he does best. But that doesn't mean it's

228
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: necessarily going to be easy, and we're going to do

229
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 2: things and in frame not just you know, challenge him

230
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 2: to improve, but put our team in the best place

231
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 2: to win. Balancing that clearly has been a mountainous journey,

232
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 2: but I still see the sentiments of optimism and from

233
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 2: a week to week basis finding new things that yeah,

234
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 2: this is better than a week before. Yes, this shows

235
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 2: that he gets it. Processing is improving here there. And

236
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: in the end, I think, what's kind of weird because

237
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 2: Vikings fans will get this just in terms of wanting

238
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 2: a franchise QB.

239
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 3: We loved Kirk, we loved Farvin.

240
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 2: O nine, These fleeting moments we want to raise somebody

241
00:11:55,600 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 2: that becomes a star. We found a kid after all

242
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 2: these years. He's actually really really good in the clutch moments,

243
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 2: which is very very historically on Viking's life. But now

244
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 2: he just doesn't do the other things. So in the

245
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 2: fourth quarter, fourth down, you need to have it, he

246
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 2: absolutely offers a dart and the dagger and gets into

247
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 2: the end zone. But in the second quarter, when it's

248
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 2: second and eight, he throws it ten feet over a

249
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 2: guy's head.

250
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: So harness that clutch gene throughout right. So from clutch, yeah,

251
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: to touch? Can we get we got the clutch? Can

252
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: we get some touch on the fastball? I love that

253
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: your mind always thinks in like rhyme rap form, because

254
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: I know you do your montages and.

255
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 3: The fans very high rhyme and alliteration. These are two

256
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 3: pillars of the fan.

257
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: Yes, Well, one more fun question before we get going.

258
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 1: I would I wanted to know we're week eleven, it's

259
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: time to like, really the team's really takes take in shape.

260
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: You kind of like find who's having great seasons by now?

261
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: Who is one player that you are just so pleased

262
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: with and excited for in this offense or in this

263
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: in this on this roster. Okay that you just like

264
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: didn't think he'd like so much, but now you're like, man,

265
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: this guy's the best.

266
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 3: Well.

267
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 2: Eric Wilson has taken Ivan Pace's spot and he's not

268
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 2: giving it back. He's been a revelation week to week

269
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 2: and I love that. The other one, and we've talked

270
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 2: about him before, Jalen Redmond has again taken a spot,

271
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 2: taken advantage of it, and it's not necessarily just about

272
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 2: earning a roster. I mean the base level here in

273
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 2: a roster spot dig that. But now it's like you

274
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 2: can't take him off the field. He has to be

275
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 2: an integral part, not just to stopping the run, but

276
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 2: you're finding him in the backfield and he's affecting the

277
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 2: QBS as well.

278
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 3: And then you look at his backstory.

279
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 2: There's there's blood clots, there's health, there's you know, just

280
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 2: tragic there there's.

281
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 3: Death in this kid's life.

282
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 2: And now you know he's he's making plays every single

283
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 2: Sunday and he's all effort, he's all energy, and it

284
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: just feels like nobody's happier to be on that field.

285
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 1: Thank you Nordo so much, really appreciate your time, your insight.

286
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,160

00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 4: My pleasure. It's Border Battle week. It's what we all

315
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 4: wait for every season, so I can't wait to get

316
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 4: into it.

317
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: I bet are you headed to the game?

318
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 4: I am not. I have three kids coming home from

319
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 4: college over the weekend. They're all going to hunker down

320
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 4: and hang out and watch the game together. Two of

321
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 4: my kids are Packer fans, Jackson's a misguided Viking fan.

322
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 4: But it's always fun to watch all together, to watch these.

323
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: Games, well, Dave. Your latest article on Zone Coverage, you wrote,

324
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: after the Giants win, it wasn't a giant leap, but

325
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: they take a step forward. What did you mean by that?

326
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 4: Well, after two consecutive losses at Lambeau, something that Matt

327
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 4: Lafleur has never had happen in back to back weeks,

328
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 4: it's hard to know what to expect from Green Bay.

329
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 4: They seemed to have played down to their competition, so

330
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 4: I wasn't expecting this robust performance to break out of

331
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 4: the fog. And it looked like the team that we

332
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 4: thought the Packers were after a couple of weeks. But

333
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 4: I saw just a few encouraging signs. The fact that

334
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 4: the offense got untracked and put points on the board.

335
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 4: I'll get against a mediocre Giants defense. Yeah, I was

336
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 4: worried about the you know, facing a team right after

337
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 4: they fired their coach, and here comes Jamis Winston to

338
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 4: rally the troops, and it was hard to really know, like,

339
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 4: are you catching the Giants at a really bad time

340
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 4: because they're gonna be fired up. So I kind of

341
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 4: had these expectations that were just let's get in there

342
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 4: and get a win, because the last time Green Bay

343
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 4: went there two years ago a backup quarter Tommy DeVito,

344
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 4: sprung the upset on Green Bay. They've kind of been

345
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 4: a house of horror. So I just wanted to see progress,

346
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 4: and I thought the offense showed progress. The defense, while

347
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 4: not great, made big plays at key moments, as they've

348
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 4: done all seasons. So encouraging that they got off the

349
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 4: two loss snide. But I'm not ready to jump up

350
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 4: and down and wave my cheese head just yet.

351
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they faced a lot of adversity in

352
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: that game. Albeit Jordan Love missing some time but getting

353
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: back into the game. What do you think the status

354
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: for his I know it's early in the week as

355
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: we record this, so not too much out there, just

356
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: as a forewarning for those listening, But do you think

357
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: this is something he'll just be able to battle back

358
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: from for Sunday?

359
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 4: Well, I think he'll be okay as long as he

360
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 4: doesn't get hit again. You know, if he lands on

361
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 4: that left shoulder again, who knows. I was very concerned

362
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 4: that maybe it was just the adrenaline of the game

363
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 4: once he came back, and then when he got out

364
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 4: and got tested, there might be some problems. It does

365
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 4: sound like he dodged anything serious. But it's a shoulder.

366
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 4: It's not as throwing shoulder, but this just in You know,

367
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 4: quarterbacks need their arms. So I think he'll be fine

368
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 4: as long as Green Bay protects him a little bit.

369
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 4: It is nice to know that if he's got to

370
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 4: go get some tests done, you can have a guy

371
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 4: like Malik Willis step in and actually he jumps started

372
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 4: the offense, put him on the scoreboard in the seven

373
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 4: plays he was out there. He actually got things going.

374
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 4: So it's nice to know they've got something if Jordan

375
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 4: can't go for a while. But yeah, I'm more concerned

376
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 4: about Josh Jacobs, who misspractice on Wednesday's day to day,

377
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 4: and you know they got two games now over the

378
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 4: next ten days. They obviously play Thanksgiving in Detroit, and

379
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 4: so I'm I'm a little nervous that they might decide

380
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 4: to just be safe with Jacobs and maybe if it's

381
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 4: a couple extra days, make sure he's out there for Detroit.

382
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 4: So that's the offensive injury I'm really keenly focused on

383
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 4: this week.

384
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, how much does his availability affect the

385
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: Packers offense as.

386
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,239
Speaker 4: A whole, Well, he's what makes the offense go and

387
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 4: that the reason green Bay's offense has been really kind

388
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 4: of stuck in neutral a lot this season is that

389
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 4: the running game just hasn't got on track. It's not

390
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 4: necessarily Jacobs, it's the offensive line has not block run

391
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 4: like they did a year ago. It's just been really

392
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 4: slow to go with a new fangled interior. They're getting healthier,

393
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 4: they're getting better. We saw signs on Sunday. He was

394
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 4: only out there for a handful of carries, but he

395
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 4: averaged five and a half yards of carry. He does

396
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 4: make the offense go. Melafloor wants to be a run

397
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 4: first coach, like you know his mentor you know Kyle Shanahan.

398
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 4: That's how their offense starts is with the running game.

399
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 4: So if he can't go, Emmanuel Wilson gets the main job.

400
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 4: But you'll see a lot of Chris Brooks, the number

401
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 4: three guy who doesn't get a lot of run, but

402
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 4: he's a really good blitz pickup guy, pass protector. Green

403
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 4: Bay's play at the day last Sunday was a big time.

404
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 4: I'm sure you saw it. That third and ten bomb

405
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,719
Speaker 4: to save on Williams. If Chris Brooks doesn't pick up

406
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 4: a blitz and hold this guy off for as long

407
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 4: as Love needed to that play doesn't happen. He's kind

408
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 4: of an unsung hero, and I think you'll see almost

409
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 4: a split between both Wilson and Brooks because we know

410
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 4: Brian Flores is gonna blitz early and off and against.

411
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: What gives you that impression and blitzes. It's funny you

412
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: say that there's a split, though. I think Josh Jacobs

413
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: accounts for almost forty percent of the offense for the Packers,

414
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: and so without him, they definitely have some voids to

415
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: be full and Brian Flores is probably preparing for it

416
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: either way. What is it about what do you enjoy

417
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: the most? Rather about the chess match between Jordan Love

418
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: and Brian Flores's defensive front.

419
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, obviously, like most quarterbacks, Leve will struggle if

420
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 4: there's somebody in his face. I think that Love's quick

421
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 4: decision making has really improved, his confidence, has improved, a

422
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 4: trust that the Packers' offensive coaches have, and love to

423
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 4: dissect what might be coming, even though it's impossible to

424
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 4: know exactly who's common who's dropping with Brian Flores, but

425
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 4: I think they've really come to a point in the

426
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 4: relationship with Laflora Love where the trust is starting to

427
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 4: get there. The problem is a lot of his favorite

428
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 4: pass catching options just can't stay on the field so

429
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 4: to develop the chemistry, and when you just don't have

430
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 4: guys that are out there consistently practicing, some of that

431
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 4: isn't as crisp as you'd like it to be. But

432
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 4: I think that overall, you know, Jorda Love will throw

433
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 4: a couple of balls every week that make you just

434
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 4: close your eyes and pray, like that passed to Sabione

435
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 4: Williams last week. But when the chips are down, if

436
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 4: it's a close game late, he's proven this year. I

437
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 4: mean four Cup fourth quarter comebacks, three are wins, one

438
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 4: or a tie, all on the road. So he's really

439
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 4: when the chips are down, when things are getting tight,

440
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 4: he's proven that he's up to that challenge and can

441
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 4: take whatever that defense gives you, and obviously hasn't been successful.

442
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 4: If I can swept the Packers last year, we'll see

443
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 4: what Love has learned when they meet again on Sunday.

444
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's on pace for career highs and

445
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: completion percentage, passing, touchdown interception ratio, and passer rating. Dave,

446
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: we really appreciate you spending some time with us today.

447
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 1: I would say best of luck, but I really think

448
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: the Purple need to get this one off their back.

449
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 4: I get it. I get it. Great to chat with

450
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 4: to Jadam, thanks for likewise, look forward to doing it

451
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 4: again sometimes.

452
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: Thank you. Dave really enjoyed this conversation. Thank you. A

453
