67
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 4: You know, it's so disappointing. I think the way the

68
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 4: game just went in the approach and you'll get the

69
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 4: stats and kind of tell us part of the story.

70
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 4: I mean, this this week is big. I mean it's

71
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 4: it's a big, big week. I mean to be able

72
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 4: to get a dub on the road, finish one to

73
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 4: one in this trip, come back with the winning record,

74
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 4: and like you said, get some healthy bodies at the

75
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 4: end of the day, which is is you don't want

76
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 4: to make an excuse for your for your team, but

77
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 4: the reality is is they've been they've been going through

78
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 4: it here this early part of the season, and to

79
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 4: be able to get through this week and get a dub,

80
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 4: get hopefully get a few bodies back, and then hopefully

81
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 4: you can catch your strike because you know, if we

82
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 4: look ahead for the schedule and getting it easier.

83
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 3: No, it's not. We were I was talking with with

84
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 3: Pa and Ben Lieber yesterday and just kind of the

85
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 3: kind of the idea like the most important game in

86
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 3: Kevin O'Connell's life. Life is always just the next one, right,

87
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 3: So yeah.

88
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 4: Welcome to football, man. It's just it's always next and

89
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 4: that's that's the best part about the loss.

90
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 3: We have next week, Yeah, there's another one and frankly,

91
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 3: there's thirteen more of them in total, so lots of opportunities.

92
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 3: But with that said, would you be feeling the urgency

93
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 3: that I feel as a fan where it's like, okay,

94
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 3: things are negative one thousand percent, I don't know who

95
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 3: half the guys are on the offensive line and what

96
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 3: just happened against the Steelers. That's a setback health of

97
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 3: the young QB. We're watching him while we're watching Carson

98
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 3: try to do his thing. And in the end, yes,

99
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 3: it's early season, early October, but with the way things

100
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 3: have gone, even at two and two, we feel in

101
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 3: some ways blessed to be there. There's extra urgency here,

102
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 3: like we can't lose to the freaking Browns.

103
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 4: You would feel that as a player, Yeah, you one

104
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,119
Speaker 4: hundred percent feel that, And I think in some ways,

105
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 4: because you're overseas, you almost have a little bit of

106
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 4: a training Campbine because you're kind of all together, and

107
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 4: you be all together, you know, at night and during

108
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 4: the day, and you don't you're not going home and

109
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 4: not seeing the family a lot. For a lot of

110
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 4: the attractions might actually be less in some capacities when

111
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 4: you're traveling like this. Even though it's a you're a

112
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 4: national I think it's a good chance for them to

113
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 4: come together and this is we are what we are.

114
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 4: We have who we have, and who's going to be healthy,

115
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 4: who's going to be able to play this week? You know,

116
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 4: the defensive side of the balls got their fair share

117
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 4: of stuff going on. So there's a there's a sense

118
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 4: of urgency in that building or in that room and

119
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 4: in the hotel right now where they got to get

120
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 4: something done and they know it. And I think you

121
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 4: gotta come out and you're gonna play A brown seam

122
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 4: is going to absolutely fight you, and they need a

123
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 4: win too. And Stefanski's going to have those guys ready.

124
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 4: We know how good a football coach he is. And

125
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 4: regardless of the talent, you know, you have to go

126
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 4: get a win. Now you have a young quarterback coming

127
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 4: in to be the starter for the first time. We

128
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 4: can't let him get going. You want to see him,

129
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 4: give him a bunch of different looks, needing it after him,

130
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 4: make him make some mistakes. Uh, it's a huge week.

131
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 4: And I think it's fair to say that this is

132
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 4: this is it's not it's not if win or else.

133
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 4: But look at the division. Look what we have in

134
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 4: front of us. This is a massive game, and we

135
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 4: take it. We got to take it that way. And listen,

136
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 4: these guys are pros. You show up righty to play,

137
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 4: and you show up and get yourself to get yourself

138
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 4: ready to play, and then go out.

139
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 3: There and play well.

140
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 4: And if you don't, your best chance to is the

141
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 4: next week to come back and say, hey, we got

142
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 4: to write the ship. And you know, just look at

143
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 4: the staff, you look at the rushing yards given up,

144
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 4: look at the time possession. The fact we have to

145
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 4: throw the ball of forty five forty six times tells

146
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 4: you with out of story. Rogers threw a twenty twenty

147
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 4: two times, twenty three times. That tells you the story

148
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 4: of how the game went, very efficient and very efficient,

149
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 4: getting first downs, big throws, gain well goes for what

150
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 4: one hundred I mean, just that kind of tells you

151
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 4: the story and again gain well in the two losses.

152
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 4: Is what has been the story, right, is our inability

153
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 4: to have a Williams wall that's been able to hold

154
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 4: up and you know, limit teams to rush yards.

155
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 3: Is there any part of that where because talking about

156
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 3: it through this week, I mean, you see what you

157
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 3: see on Sunday, the injuries. Would you have taken that

158
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 3: guy seriously sorry and so distracting?

159
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 2: No, I know, but.

160
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 3: Cam Newton on the big work. You pointed at him

161
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 3: because he's got the hat on, he's got the colored sunglasses.

162
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 4: He's Davison County guy of South Dakota. He's got to

163
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 4: be out there now. Now you guys gave Cam Newton fits. Yeah,

164
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 4: but that's MVP caliber.

165
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 3: I mean one of the most difficult quarterbacks to bring

166
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,119
Speaker 3: down one of this the I mean the great athletes

167
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 3: of the last twenty five where Cam Cammon league. I'm

168
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 3: just like, what is this?

169
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 4: But the thing that could that Cam couldn't overcome is

170
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 4: the cold weather at TCF Bank Stadium now Hans Bank.

171
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 4: He came up here that day and he wanted no

172
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 4: part of any of that cold energy.

173
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think was it feeling and was it

174
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 3: Everson that both had defensive tds that day as part

175
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 3: of the blowout, right exactly. I think that's the that's

176
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 3: the that's the genesis of Detroit Lakes go crazy. And

177
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 3: he blocked it. I think the Eland blocked it. Said score. Oh,

178
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 3: I mean, that's come on. So we do lots of

179
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 3: and high fives in the locker room after that. Uh

180
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 3: with we've talked about Rogers a ton. I mean, you

181
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 3: you saw him a ton during your playing career. Is

182
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 3: there any element where you look back at Sunday and

183
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 3: you're just thinking to yourself, Yeah, we got Rogers, I mean,

184
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 3: and so you like you can say roster top to bottom,

185
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,719
Speaker 3: you feel like, and we saw the health situations that

186
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 3: played out during the game. We know they have DK,

187
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 3: we know they have TJ. Watt, et cetera. But just

188
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 3: in the end, you're just you're walking away. You're like,

189
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 3: he did it to us again. Yeah, you know, he

190
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 3: just he knows where to go with the football when

191
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 3: he's playing well. And when he was when he was

192
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 3: flying high in Green Bay and had some good weapons

193
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 3: on the outside, they would run so many simple concepts

194
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 3: just to take what you are giving them. Yeah, and

195
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 3: he and when you have a quarterback that knows where

196
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 3: the football is supposed to go against that coverage because

197
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 3: he knows who's got leverage and he knows who's going

198
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 3: to win. It's almost predetermined that he knows, and.

199
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 4: That's why the balls out of his hands so fast,

200
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 4: because he knows if you're sitting this type of his

201
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 4: own coverage and you have this responsibility within that coverage

202
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 4: because because of his intellect, he knows that route is

203
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 4: going to be open when he hits his third step. Okay,

204
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 4: you're in man coverage, all right, what kind of leverage

205
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 4: this guy playing? Okay, this is the route I have

206
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 4: against that leverage. I know he's going to be open

207
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 4: when he turned. So having that ability, and again you

208
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 4: can think back to our young quarterback and even what

209
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 4: Carson's been able to do when he's come in at

210
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 4: least put up some numbers and obviously look good in parts,

211
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 4: and obviously the interception has hurt us. But the reality

212
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 4: is is when you know where to go with the

213
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 4: football because you know what the defense is going to

214
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 4: give you, you just you just take it and let

215
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 4: your players make place. And that's exactly what happened in

216
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 4: this situation this weekend, and he you know, you throw

217
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 4: the ball twenty plus times and you get a win

218
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 4: on the road, a huge win. Mike Tomas got that

219
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 4: look in his eye, that the smile and smirk that

220
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 4: I don't like, especially when you're playing against him.

221
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 3: But you know, he just they got it.

222
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 4: They got a little thing going right there last week

223
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 4: and and I think that was the offensive people thought

224
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 4: they could have.

225
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 3: We I just know why had it happened against us? Yeah,

226
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 3: back to before we got distracted. I mean, look at

227
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 3: Cam right now with the with the tie. It's a vibe.

228
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 3: I don't know what's I can't even describe it. See

229
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,599
Speaker 3: people are people are down on it. I don't get it.

230
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 3: Cam had his ups and downs of his career and

231
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 3: then his arm just stopped working. I just kind of

232
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 3: love Cam Newton. I could never wear that. It looks ridiculous.

233
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 3: You know, he's consistent, He's and he doesn't shy away

234
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 3: from he doesn't he leans into it. He's consistent. It's

235
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 3: not for me, but man does he does he own nothing?

236
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 3: I just want to know what he spends on clothes.

237
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 3: That's expensive. Good Lord, that pension's got to be good, though, right, yeah,

238
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 3: oh yeahs were really good and he made a couple

239
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 3: of bucks first overall, et cetera.

240
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 5: Uh.

241
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 3: Where I was going though before we got distracted by

242
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 3: Cam Newton is when you see a loss like you

243
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 3: saw and the health situation, I mean just kind of balancing. Okay,

244
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 3: the talker is it's and it always goes this way. Well,

245
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 3: the GM and his horrible drafting and put us in

246
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 3: a spot so so that was so so trying to

247
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 3: take that which is and as I've said, like the

248
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 3: listeners are going to focus on a lot of that

249
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 3: and I'm in on it. I'm in on it. It's

250
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 3: a valid talker where when you when you go to

251
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 3: the well and free agency. And I think he deserves

252
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 3: a ton of praise given some of the guys that

253
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 3: he picked up for the value that he picked him

254
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 3: up on. You know, one guy in particular who's off

255
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 3: to it feels like a historic star would be Isaiah Rodgers.

256
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 3: Like nobody's shying away from from how important he's been

257
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 3: to this defense so far. But you mentioned not having

258
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 3: that Williams wall in those two losses, the idea of okay,

259
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 3: you know, we can spend all week ripping the GM,

260
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 3: or we can also say, well, this is what we have.

261
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 3: That's like a January conversation. Right now, we've got to

262
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 3: figure out how to beat the Browns. Do you see

263
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 3: any in the advancement of pass rush through the middle

264
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 3: with Hargrave and Allen? Are you potentially giving up something

265
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 3: in terms of what a Bullard and a Harrison Phillips

266
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 3: provided in terms of the run stopping because then, as

267
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,599
Speaker 3: you mentioned it, Kenneth freaking gainwell should not have he

268
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 3: was on the doorstep like ninety nine yards. I think yeah,

269
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 3: and then bejon Is Bajon and if he's not getting

270
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 3: you on the ground, he's probably catching and running, etc.

271
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 3: Just an incredible player that he is, he has a

272
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 3: right to have a good game. But in the same sense,

273
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 3: there has been that kind of that focal point of

274
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 3: you know, again ripping the GM, but then also looking

275
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 3: pragmatically at the defensive front and it's like, we're really

276
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 3: pumped about this and they're healthy, they're healthy, But but

277
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 3: to that end, have we given up something to gain something?

278
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 2: Yeah?

279
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 4: I think you know, you know, factor in Van Ginkle, facturing,

280
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 4: cash Man, factoring these other things that are coming at

281
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 4: you right But listen, We're good enough to win both

282
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 4: the games we lost. It's not a it's not a

283
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 4: talent issue. So we can look in place blame because

284
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 4: that's what we do.

285
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 3: Right.

286
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 4: There's the problem with the NFL is you have six

287
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 4: or seven days between games, so you got to fill

288
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 4: some air, right, You got to have something to talk about,

289
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 4: have them to complain about. We could be five, four

290
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 4: and oh right now when we find some of the

291
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 4: things that some issues that discussion. Why wouldn't we That's

292
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 4: just part of the game that makes the NFL so great.

293
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 4: It's year round. You're discussing all these things. Was the

294
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 4: roster looked like what's a GM? But the reality is

295
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 4: we're good enough talent wise to win both games.

296
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 3: Did we win them? The wins games you lost, did

297
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 3: we win them?

298
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 5: No?

299
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 3: We found ways to lose those games.

300
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 4: The guys that are in those spots that knows at

301
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 4: three in the interior defense environment are good enough to

302
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 4: make those plays, but they're not making them. And the

303
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 4: reality is is we have to get to a spot

304
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 4: where those guys are No. Again, everybody does a little

305
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 4: something different, right. The guys we trade away and got

306
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 4: rid of would have certainly helped but what are we

307
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 4: taking away from a pass rush?

308
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 3: Well, you know what does a room look like? You

309
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 3: can't count on what injuries you're gonna have. That's just

310
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 3: the NFL.

311
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 4: It's gonna it's gonna hit you us some way, somehow

312
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 4: every year, very rarely you're gonna get a super healthy season,

313
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 4: and it's it just hit us hard early. And the reality, though,

314
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 4: is it's still in front of us. Yeah, So the

315
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 4: ups and downs of the NFL season, the more you

316
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 4: can just stay the same, the more you can just

317
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 4: be the thermostat and just absolutely keep your temperature and say, hey,

318
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 4: we're gonna keep charging ahead. We have these ups and downs,

319
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 4: we're gonna get healthier and we're gonna find a way

320
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 4: to get back on pace. And we got to get

321
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 4: a win this weekend, and we got to treat it accordingly.

322
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 4: And we gotta go out and start fast the team.

323
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 4: The games that we've that we've lost, we got behind.

324
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 4: We just we start slow, we can't finish drives, we're

325
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 4: not getting off the field. And the other games we

326
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 4: start fast, we make a play. So your first fifteen

327
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 4: as a coach offensively got to be sharp. You gotta

328
00:15:58,480 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 4: know what you gotta know what you're gonna get. You

329
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 4: gotta have an answer to all those problems. And defensive

330
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 4: we got to come out. We can't make mistakes. And

331
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 4: for you know, I'm okay. I'm okay with a team

332
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 4: establishing the past game early, but I'm certainly okay with

333
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 4: this with the team established a run game early.

334
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, because when you get the.

335
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 4: Run game going early and all of a sudden, you

336
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 4: have all sorts of issues to deal with.

337
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 3: I saw this. I saw this stat and I think

338
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 3: it's from Warren Sharp, not think I know it's from

339
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 3: Warren Sharp, and I'm trying to scramble to get it now. Well,

340
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 3: but I can paraphrase it because I think I have

341
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 3: it right. The New Orleans Saints are zero and four, okay,

342
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 3: new coach. I mean they're trotting Spencer Rattler out there.

343
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 3: I mean that thinks you know that's something down in

344
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 3: the Bayou. Best of luck to them, Actually, no, no,

345
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 3: they go. I said that I hope they have a

346
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 3: winless season. No, no, that's correct. I apologize. I was

347
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 3: trying to offer a bit of grace to them, but no,

348
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 3: no thank you and no luck to the New Orleans Saints.

349
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 3: Fans were talking. They have not played one offensive snap

350
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 3: with the lead thus far in twenty and twenty five

351
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 3: fast starters down there the second worst two snaps the

352
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 3: Cleveland brown Wow, we can't. They don't want us, They

353
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 3: can't start fast. This is and they grinded their way

354
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 3: to a victory with the with the big field goal

355
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 3: block and then the field goal by whatever his name

356
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 3: is that the Browns kicker, who is a disaster. Week one,

357
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 3: they could have beaten Burrow. They missed it. They're one

358
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 3: and three, two snaps all through four games in which

359
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 3: they have had the advantage. If I see Judkins get

360
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 3: loose and suddenly they're up seven to nothing, he's done,

361
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 3: he does. I'm doing this appearance at Gray's Food Haul.

362
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 3: It's downtown, backside of Target Field on Sunday morning. I'm

363
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 3: gonna lose my freaking mind.

364
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, it's an eight am bloody Mary. Probably tow

365
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 4: some great duck in there. Get yourself looped up and

366
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 4: going well, and that takes the edge off. I will

367
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 4: encourage it for others. I have to do fan line later,

368
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 4: hopefully a victorious one. It makes it makes fan line better. Yeah,

369
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 4: one or five wouldn't hurt.

370
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it makes fan.

371
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 4: Line better either way, the corn lose makes it better.

372
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 4: They can't start fast.

373
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 3: No, if the Browns have a lead in this game,

374
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 3: that that is absolute red alert problem for our favorite

375
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 3: football And because of how Stefanski wants to play the.

376
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 4: Game one thousand percent. He wants to control the line

377
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 4: of scrimmage, he wants to run the football, he wants

378
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 4: to be able to run the clock, and he got

379
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 4: they have a creature on the other side that we

380
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 4: have to be mindful of that can absolutely wreck a

381
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 4: football game.

382
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 3: And I think we have to be mindful of that

383
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:18,719
Speaker 3: as we drop back.

384
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 4: We want to you know, Garrett, listen, we want to

385
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 4: we want to throw the ball under around twenty times.

386
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 4: It's been the it's been the sauce to winning the

387
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 4: first two two wins of the season. We want to

388
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 4: make sure we can control more of the game than

389
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 4: we've been controlling. The game has been controlled by the

390
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 4: team we've been playing almost in every game so far

391
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 4: this season, and even the throwaway game with Isaiah Rodgers.

392
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 4: Bit like, what's real from that? Because the reality is

393
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 4: we got to too scoop and scorers. Yeah, I don't

394
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 4: know what's.

395
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 3: Real at this moment.

396
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 4: You don't know what you take from that, to be

397
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 4: honest with you, because that's a game that's a little

398
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 4: bit of a you know, you just don't know. It's

399
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 4: it's it's almost the it's almost throw it out. But

400
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 4: reality is, we got to show up and get ready

401
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 4: to play. And and I think the maturity of this

402
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 4: football team would be tested this week. I think the

403
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 4: leadership of our football team would be tested this week.

404
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 4: I think we're going to know in the first quarter

405
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 4: of what this week looks like. No, I think you're right.

406
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 4: I don't mean to harp on the negative. So you

407
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 4: remember DK Metcalf's touchdown. Yeah, and it's it's difficult you're

408
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 4: watching TV copy.

409
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 3: I don't think you. I mean, you certainly haven't been

410
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 3: in the film room this week watching God Mac. But

411
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 3: but there I'm just curious. So you have DK Metcalf

412
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 3: in the slot. Ron Johnson's telling me he runs a

413
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 3: bang eight or whatnot. But on that play, I see

414
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 3: two things happening where Harrison Smith's too late to come down.

415
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 3: I see Eric Wilson chasing and just kind of the

416
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 3: thing that has popped in my head over the course

417
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 3: of this with all the health issues. Man, we miss Cashman. Like,

418
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 3: I just feel like, I don't know if there's a

419
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 3: position in the end, they just needed to tackle DK.

420
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 3: As difficult as that is. I'm asking you, guys, compensated

421
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 3: fairly high end athletes that you are, like, I need

422
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 3: you to tackle better in some spots, if I may

423
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 3: be as to ask, but I'm just like Cashman, I

424
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 3: miss Blake and I'm excited. I know Philly is the

425
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 3: boogeyman around the bye week corner, but man, I need

426
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 3: Blake back. I need Van Ginkle back, you know. And

427
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 3: it's just I hate where we're We're sitting this early

428
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 3: in the season where everything is how do we evaluate

429
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 3: the QB, Well, I need X Y z O lineman

430
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 3: in there. How do I evaluate the defense, well I

431
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 3: need I need Van Ginkle and Cashman.

432
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 4: You know, where this was stability. You lost stability. And

433
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 4: you know, I think you know, the best of the best.

434
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 4: The best ability in the NFL is availability and showing

435
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 4: up and being the guy.

436
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 3: Right.

437
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 4: So Cashman's best ability last year was he was a

438
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 4: game changer, not only physically on the field, but a

439
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 4: guy that you could just count on. You know, He's

440
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 4: gonna be where he's supposed to be, to make the

441
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 4: player supposed to make, to make the tackle he's supposed

442
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 4: to make. You know, missed a few here there, of course,

443
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 4: like anybody. But the reality was players are going to

444
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 4: make plays in this league. Dk Metcalf is a creature.

445
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers is going to be crazy. He's going to

446
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,479
Speaker 4: throw the ball to the right spot. And guys, you're

447
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 4: gonna make plays. It's the NFL. All these teams are good.

448
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 4: The Browns are capable of beating us. They have players

449
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 4: to do it. You have to show up and not

450
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 4: just roll the help out and say we're going to

451
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 4: get a win because on paper it looks like we're

452
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 4: better than them. So when dk Metcalf catches that ball,

453
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 4: that's great. It can't turn into a touchdown. Now it

454
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 4: has to be put on the ground and say, okay,

455
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 4: now go get the next fifty yards. It's easy for

456
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 4: me to say, though, to put a I've missed a

457
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 4: lot of tackles.

458
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 3: Be the sacrificial lamb and can you can you run

459
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 3: in front of that semi truck real quick?

460
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 4: I don't want to, but I will. And the thing

461
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 4: is is like again, I missed a million tackles when

462
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 4: I played. But the reality is is like you just

463
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 4: try to find a way to get that guy on

464
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 4: the ground and live and live another down. So take

465
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 4: a better angle, get him down, run him out of bounce,

466
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 4: whatever it is. You're not too prideful to get dragged,

467
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 4: are you?

468
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 5: No?

469
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 4: No, I mean the freeze. One of the guys that

470
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 4: could drag yet. That guy that plays running back for

471
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 4: the Ravens from Alabama.

472
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 3: Oh, Dereck Henry.

473
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe, Yeah, that guy I remember when he came

474
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 4: as a rookie my last year. He turned the corner

475
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 4: again with the Titans. That might have been the opening game,

476
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 4: one of the first couple of games I can look.

477
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 4: He turned the corner and I simply said, what the

478
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 4: h is that? You just didn't have anybody you've ever

479
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 4: seen before running downhill that you just want to run

480
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 4: through your neck? And yeah, you get drugged for five

481
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 4: or six, you get up, you go play the next

482
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 4: play necessarily how it goes. He's well, first of all,

483
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 4: what was your playing way? Were you forty then? I

484
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 4: was probably two thirty thirty? Yeah, thirty three years old

485
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 4: is ready to getting either in the wheelchair?

486
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 3: So he's and it was. It was the opening game.

487
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 3: You guys won that game. I think with Sean Hill.

488
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 3: Eric Hendricks had a pick and I think the Neil

489
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 3: maybe maybe you had a pick and Daniel had the

490
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 3: defensive the fumble rumble, yep, Shawn Hill. I think Darrin

491
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 3: Shan Hill. I'm pretty sure Derek Henry has fifteen pounds

492
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 3: of muscle on you and maybe an inch and just

493
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 3: better genetics. He's faster, better looking. I mean, he's still

494
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 3: stronger and I'm and he's playing running back. This isn't well,

495
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 3: that's that's my point though. It's it's not harping on

496
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 3: Chad Greenway. It's more it's uh, oh, no, get in line.

497
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 3: And there's several more like me, No but no.

498
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 4: But but is it?

499
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 3: How do you stop that? That that's insane? Like a

500
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 3: four to four guys at his zenith. I mean, he's

501
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 3: getting older now and such, but still he's paying somebody

502
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 3: a quarter million dollars to keep him in shape in

503
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 3: the offseason. He's running beating hills that he cut back

504
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 3: on me.

505
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 4: The first time I saw him is he got his

506
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 4: shoulder square coming downhill and I was rocking back. So

507
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 4: I was a gap, kind of beat to backside and

508
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 4: then he cuts back. I have that backside scrape, so

509
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 4: I'm catching He's literally catching me on my heels, and

510
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 4: I mean, it was an awful situation. And you find

511
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 4: yourself in those and you just survive those, and you

512
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 4: simply go ankle grabbing, you go ankle bite, and you

513
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 4: just try to get your head across his thighs and

514
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 4: bring him down and try to live.

515
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 3: I mean, let me tell you this, though, you guys,

516
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 3: did you did? You did a pretty good job. Remember

517
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 3: DeMarco Murray? Oh yeah, but but he only had three

518
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 3: yards rushing that game. You may have had two entail.

519
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 3: You may have had to find him. He had two

520
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 3: catches for forty one yards in that game. I don't

521
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 3: want to be in front of that cat. Let's see.

522
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 4: Let's see what oh I did? I was That was

523
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 4: my first That was Eric Kendricks and Barr played Nickels.

524
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 4: So I didn't play many snaps that game because I

525
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 4: was third. That was kind of first second down. Guy,

526
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 4: I gotta tell you something.

527
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 3: Zero stats, I don't I don't think you registered to

528
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 3: tackle in particular game.

529
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, that sounds about right. I think we played

530
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 4: very little based defense.

531
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: Wow.

532
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, fumble recovery and the TD it was Kendricks

533
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 3: and Hunter. You got Sean Hill. How'd Sean Hill do

534
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 3: eighteen of thirty three? Okay? Very pedestrian eight yards on

535
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 3: the ground. Adrian, tough day for him. You grind it

536
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 3: out of victory at Nissan Stadium. Uh, speaking at twenty sixteen. Yep.

537
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 3: When you watch this and you just kind of doesn't

538
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 3: it kind of feel like that? So uh, Teddy goes down,

539
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 3: it's awful for everybody. It was like August thirtieth to

540
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 3: thirty first. Yep. I remember Tuesday at the State Fair.

541
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 3: We're doing the NFC in great debate bit with with

542
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 3: Wobble Wobble, Lavelli, Neil the Third and Dave Sinecon. Everybody's

543
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 3: feeling good. Got the miskick behind us now like full

544
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 3: speed ahead. Adrian's gonna ro you did? I did have that.

545
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:48,719
Speaker 4: It was not out of my head yet. There's bit

546
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 4: or No that was not past that did did? Did

547
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 4: Walsh's lot? Like was Walsh's locker out in like the

548
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 4: tunnel or something like that? I mean, poor kid, No,

549
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 4: I know that's well Frankly, I just I hope everything's

550
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 4: good with him. He never really recovered from that. He's

551
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 4: in real estate now. He is a great, smart guy.

552
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 3: Sweet. I think he's on West Coast. Oh, good for him,

553
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 3: that's great, But the kick went the wrong way. Fresh

554
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 3: Life breathed into the squad. Twenty sixteen, Teddy goes down Bradford.

555
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 3: You flip the first to Howie Roseman for Bradford. Sean

556
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 3: Hill gets you the w as we talked about. Against

557
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 3: the Titans. You start out I think five and oher

558
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 3: into the by. He got Cheryls with the punt return

559
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 3: against Houston. What was it primetime against Odell Beckham Junior

560
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 3: and the Giants and Xavier Roads fighting them and Odell

561
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 3: fighting like a kicking net or something. I mean, just

562
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 3: everything's good, great memory. You go into the bye. But

563
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 3: it was week two. It was the opener at us

564
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 3: Bank Stadium, and I still remember Trey Wayns gets the

565
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 3: pick to seal the game. Zimmers, I mean Zimmer, I

566
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 3: mean at the combine would have been first or second

567
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 3: in vertical, but you lose Matt Khalil to the mcl

568
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 3: adrian as well as a matter of fact. But then

569
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 3: I and I just I had this pulled up the

570
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 3: other day. I'll run it through again. Andre Smith, Matt Khalil,

571
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 3: Rashad Hill, Jeremiah Searles, Jake Long rips his achilles at

572
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 3: FedEx when you're trying to go and tie the game. TJ. Clemings,

573
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 3: Alex Boone, Brandon Fusco, your favorite, Willie Beavers, Oh yeah,

574
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 3: Zach Kieran, Joe Berger, Nick Easton, that's your all. Those

575
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 3: guys got meaningful offensive line snaps in twenty sixteen, and

576
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 3: you guys battled. There was talent there. You were a

577
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 3: playoff team the year before, looking to elevate yourself. Bradford

578
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 3: was fine, Yeah, Bradford was okay.

579
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was eight and eight and Bears at home

580
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 4: won the beat the Bears at home to go eight

581
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 4: and eight.

582
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 3: That's right, I think. So, yeah, my final game and

583
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 3: well at least you walked off a way.

584
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

585
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 3: But this year, this Sunday, they're going to be putting

586
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 3: their well different O line combination together for the fifth

587
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 3: game of the season, and it just reminds me a

588
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 3: bit of the optimism, talented group that just couldn't stay

589
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 3: on the field.

590
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 4: Well, now you go look at the teams that are there,

591
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,719
Speaker 4: at the end NFC Title Game, Super Bowl, you look

592
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 4: at the stability the offensive line the Chiefs run. They've

593
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 4: been on stability. Pay guys, guys, stay healthy, guys. You

594
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 4: have to make it through the game. You know, through

595
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 4: the season. You maybe have a guy who misses a

596
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 4: game or two here or there. You plug and play

597
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 4: a guy for a couple of weeks and bring him back.

598
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 4: Stability at the offensive line and rhythm and momentum at

599
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 4: the offensive line is a real thing. The more continuity

600
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 4: they have where they can play together and they're talking,

601
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 4: and they're working on games, and they got stunts and

602
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 4: they're and just that communication and you kind of get

603
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 4: in the rhythm just like just like a quarterback in

604
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 4: their receivers, just like anything somebody in the running game.

605
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:51,479
Speaker 4: You can kind of get a couple carries, you get

606
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 4: hit and all of a sudden, I could feel it.

607
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 4: The old line is double that, right, because their whole

608
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 4: life is communication. Their whole life is understanding what what's

609
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 4: right in front of them and what they've seen on tape,

610
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 4: and if they can communicate that to keep their guy upright.

611
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 4: And by the way, you're dealing with some beasts on

612
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 4: the other side of the football, and then you add

613
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 4: in the tight end, and you add in these running

614
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 4: backs to protections and then you So it's such a

615
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 4: momentum position that's not talked about enough. And when you

616
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 4: get that continuity, by the time you get the end

617
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 4: of the season, man, you've done seen heard at all

618
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 4: where you can just solve almost any problem. And that's

619
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 4: to me is if you don't have that, I mean,

620
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 4: your quarterbacks are just you're guessing and that's a real problem.

621
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 3: Last thing for you them will pause and then you

622
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 3: know what we're gonna We're gonna turn the page on

623
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 3: this and we'll start talking about how we can beat

624
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 3: up on Dylan Gabriel. Guess what I'm excited about that

625
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 3: Flores game. Let's get them. How did you handle that

626
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 3: as a defender, because it's always next man up, like

627
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 3: I get the mental machinations of I mean, again, it's

628
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 3: week five. It's not week fifteen here, So let's let's

629
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 3: have perspective. We believe in our team, we believe even

630
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 3: the squad we want to believe, certainly, but at some

631
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 3: point you're you're watching this merry go round on the

632
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 3: offensive line, and over the course of a season, it

633
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 3: just feels like the burden would build defensively, where the

634
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 3: conversation through the first four weeks is our defense is

635
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 3: put us in spots where we have the ability to

636
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 3: go and win these games, even Week two against the Falcons,

637
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 3: even Sunday against the against the Steelers. But that burden

638
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 3: has to build over the course of the year. How

639
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 3: do you shake that off? Where in the end, it's

640
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 3: just like I can control what I can control because

641
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 3: you can tell yourself and then in the mirror, but

642
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 3: there's got to be something that creeps in. You know

643
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 3: where I play college football, right, you played at a

644
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 3: place where the defense matters a lot.

645
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the mentality they have a kid that

646
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 4: can grow now, Yeah, well yeah, that's what they say.

647
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 4: The mentality I came here with was the mentality of

648
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 4: we're going to win with the defensive side of the

649
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 4: ball and you don't care offense. And also a mentality

650
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 4: of and I learned this lesson in some ways the

651
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 4: hard way as a young college athlete is there's always

652
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 4: more you can do as an athlete, as a player,

653
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 4: especially in this team game. It's like, how many mistakes

654
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 4: you make that you could have turned that game another direction.

655
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 4: A many times because you got off the field defensively,

656
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 4: we could have gave the offense the ball again and

657
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 4: gave another shot. So I think, yes, you have that

658
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 4: thought in the back of your mind, but we have

659
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 4: You have so much of your own crap to deal

660
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 4: with that you're just trying to deal with your in

661
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 4: your own world and trying to do your job and

662
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 4: last house and stones and figure out how.

663
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 3: Can I impact this game.

664
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 4: There's plenty of things on this defensive side of the

665
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 4: ball that we can clean up to make this situation

666
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 4: better offensively. And if we know we have a group

667
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 4: like the offensive line that's been hurt beat up, let's

668
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 4: keep giving them the ball. Let's keep giving them field position,

669
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 4: let's win. Let's get off the field on three and out.

670
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 4: Let's shorten the field. You know, let's make this thing easier.

671
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 4: That's the mentality they have in that in that locker room,

672
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 4: guarantee you because they have good leadership. At the end

673
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 4: of day, they have good leadership, good coaching, and that's

674
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 4: what that's what's being preached.

675
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 3: I love that. That's Jack Greenway in studio. It's part

676
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 3: of the timber Tech set list. Nine to noon timber

677
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 3: Tech dot Com. Ten am, we're gonna check in with

678
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 3: at like overseas, Alec Lewis of the Athletic We'll have

679
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 3: an extended phone chat with him. Eleven o'clock. Paul Charchiats

680
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 3: can join from his bunker in Utah and we're gonna

681
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 3: chat a little fantasy and reality with our favorite football team.

682
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 3: You'll also hear not just from owner and president Mark Wilf,

683
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 3: who sat down with PA, but also wide receivers coach

684
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 3: Keenan McCardell will be with PA as well throughout the show.

685
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 3: It's a Friday feast nor to win for PA. Devin

686
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 3: Ward producing, you're listening to the fan, this is the

687
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 3: perfect song to compliment with Cam Newton being on the

688
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 3: TV right now. You think he bounced to a little Parliament.

689
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 3: Cam Newton absolutely, Jesse Lockero, a bit, Chad Greenway and Studio.

690
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 3: This will be a short segment facing a rookie quarterback.

691
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 3: So with Stefanski. You know Kevin Stefanski very well, of course,

692
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 3: but you think about the type of offense he wants

693
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 3: to run. We're gonna see a lot of Quinn Shawn

694
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 3: Judkins on Sunday at Tottenham eight thirty am kickoff. But

695
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 3: this Dylan Gabriel cat, he's a south Paw, so much

696
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 3: like the Southern hemisphere, the water goes to the opposite direction,

697
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 3: the skin in the all will be different. It's how

698
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 3: do you catch it? I don't know how you catch it.

699
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 3: It's not my job. That's up to Justin Jefferson. That's

700
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 3: why he makes the big bucks or what? Or I

701
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 3: guess in this case I should say from a Brown's perspective,

702
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 3: Isaiah Bond, I think there's a Jamari Thrash. Don't ask

703
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 3: me a Jerry Judy. You're oh Jerry Judy, k now

704
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 3: you know. I don't know one of them. There's this rookie,

705
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 3: Harold fannin junior. Basically he's like the h back, he's

706
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 3: the the blocking tight end. He's a football player. He's

707
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 3: a football player. But but but what do you think

708
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 3: about facing what? What? What makes you lick your chops

709
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 3: when you're thinking about facing a rookie. He's a little

710
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 3: bit different because there may be some designed runs and such,

711
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 3: you can create their own headaches. But just kind of

712
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 3: thinking about beating up on a rookie and getting a

713
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 3: w in England, Yeah. The biggest thing is you got

714
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 3: to get into third down.

715
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 4: You got to get into third down as many times

716
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 4: as you can and make him make decisions in that

717
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 4: in that situation when he knows he can potentially get pressure,

718
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 4: he knows him to get man coverage. Make him a

719
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 4: decision maker. And when you do that, you have a

720
00:32:58,400 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 4: good chance to win against a rookie. As the scene,

721
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 4: all these looks and is thinking too fast and trying

722
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 4: to play too fast, and you know undersized guy from

723
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 4: my from I remember from him in college the final Yeah,

724
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,239
Speaker 4: when you're rushing hands up, I mean the whole bit.

725
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 3: I mean, you got to you got to change your

726
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 3: whole approach. Now.

727
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 4: The negative is is they have they have free headspace

728
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 4: that we don't really know what they're going to do.

729
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 4: And I think you got to mean you have to

730
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 4: overprepare in the run game because we know where to

731
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 4: get smashed with run. Like how much our po stuff

732
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 4: were going to get from college game? Like how much keeper?

733
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 4: You know, how much are they willing to keep. My

734
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,479
Speaker 4: guess is that Stefanski is going to do anything possible

735
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 4: to win this game, which means he's going to the

736
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 4: quarterback is in play on a run game for sure.

737
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

738
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 4: And the other thing you have to think about. I

739
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 4: met this team last year actually on in Vegas randomly.

740
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 4: I was with her there with my daughter in Vegas.

741
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 4: The Browns played the Raiders and I got a chance

742
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 4: to come to their walk through. And Kevin's a good

743
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 4: football coach, great coach, and they respect him and they

744
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 4: play hard for him. And a team in the NFL

745
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 4: that has talent, no matter what that talent level is,

746
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 4: is capable of coming out and getting that getting getting

747
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 4: to giving us an absolute handful if we don't come

748
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 4: out and take care of business. So expect a very,

749
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 4: very prepared and good Browns team that is going to

750
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 4: try to beat you at the line of scrimmage from

751
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 4: snap one to the end of the game and control

752
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 4: the game. Can we go toe to toe with them

753
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 4: and improve on the two losses we've had, which has

754
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 4: been in the last scrimmage.

755
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 3: This might be the lowest. I mean, I'm hoping our

756
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 3: squad figure I mean trying to run Mason against that front.

757
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 3: As good as the Browns are against the run, it's

758
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 3: going to take a serious level commitment from the head

759
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 3: coach and the ability maybe throughout the week, knowing who's

760
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 3: hurt on the offensive line, if you've been able to

761
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 3: put some good reps in from a cohesion standpoint, you

762
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 3: just imagine, you know, certainly knowing who you're going to

763
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 3: work with is better than losing some guy midstream. That

764
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 3: appears quite obvious, but this might be the lowings. I mean,

765
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 3: Flora's defense weeping, nashing of teeth, can't stop the run,

766
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 3: team loses games. We get that. Flora's defense teams are

767
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 3: two for twenty six on third down and six or

768
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 3: longer well through four. That's the story right there. I

769
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 3: mean that that's just just put Dylan Gabriel on a

770
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 3: third and nine. Yeah, no freaking chance.

771
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,439
Speaker 4: I mean three things every week we would talk about

772
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 4: is make a team one dimensional, make him throw the football,

773
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 4: stop the run, create turnovers, and get him the third downs.

774
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 4: I mean that is that is defensive football in the NFL.

775
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 4: And got to win the third downs more than you

776
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,879
Speaker 4: lose them. And I think when you put this rookie

777
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 4: on that spot you're gonna get you're gonna feel really

778
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 4: good about yourself. The one the one positive from throwing

779
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,399
Speaker 4: the ball whatever too many times he threw last week

780
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 4: is we got ten receptions out of the kid eighteen.

781
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 4: We got a little bit of continuity between him and Wentz.

782
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 4: We got a little unstop, we got a half particular,

783
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 4: we got a little bit of vibe going. I liked

784
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 4: that because we had you know, he hadn't he hadn't

785
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 4: had a rhythm game. He hadn't had a game where like, Okay,

786
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 4: I'm gonna get a bunch of touches, a bunch of chances.

787
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 4: And again, it was the situation of the game brought

788
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 4: us back. But I like that because now that that

789
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 4: that does lead into the next week. There's momentum there

790
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 4: from a quarterback and receiver standpoint where all of a sudden,

791
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,800
Speaker 4: like Carson's going to start to trust yep, jj is

792
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 4: gonna start to trust him to make the throw.

793
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 3: And Jordan Addison Welcome back, Jordan, Welcome back Jordan, And

794
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 3: what a huge welcome back.

795
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 4: So you're gonna you're gonna force us to probably be

796
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 4: to throw the football more than we want to because

797
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,919
Speaker 4: of how they play defense over there. You gotta trust

798
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 4: your quarterback to go make place. You know, decision making

799
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 4: is gonna be important. Trusting you guys are gonna make

800
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 4: a play and be important, and we have guys who

801
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 4: make place.

802
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 3: You gotta have a DK.

803
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 4: Metcalf bit where all a sudden JJ go goes and

804
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 4: makes a play for your football team. You go to

805
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 4: go flip this game on his head.

806
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 3: We just can't lose to the Browns. No, I mean

807
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 3: that's they don't. They don't play with the lead, they

808
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 3: don't score, they do nothing fast. They got this cool

809
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 3: running back and they got an elite defense. We just

810
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 3: can't lose to the freaking Browns. And I mean going

811
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 3: to the bye week three and two, we lick our wounds.

812
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 3: We get a couple of guys back Cashman after the bye.

813
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 3: I think we might have CJ this weekend. How about

814
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 3: the bounce? CJ Man back in the mix, gazing. We're

815
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 3: getting healthier. I don't know what's up with Van Jinkle's neck.

816
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 3: I'm starting to feel good about this now. I'm starting

817
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 3: to I'm starting to I'm starting to change my face

818
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 3: on this thing. Let's go biggest time of possession. Yeah,

819
00:36:58,640 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 3: that's that.

820
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 4: It's been a problem for this football team all year.

821
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 4: It's going to be an issue this weekend. If that's

822
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 4: what that's what Stefanski wants to do. Is own the

823
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 4: football and get off the field. Get off the field.

824
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 4: Get him a third down huge, first down is huge

825
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 4: this week on, get him a second, longs, get him

826
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 4: into third down situation.

827
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 3: So it's gonna be it's gonna be easy.

00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:08,879
Speaker 2: the familiar destination these days.

865
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 5: It really starts to feel like the home away from home. No,

866
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 5: Dublin was one thing, but now we're kind of in

867
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,240
Speaker 5: a familiar place. So we're ready for Sunday.

868
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 2: How did the end of the equation, you know, it

869
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 2: was historical first regular season NFL game in Dublin into

870
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 2: the equation.

871
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 3: Outside of the result, how did the whole trip work out?

872
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 5: Well, all the logistics are operations, folks. Our entire staff

873
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 5: did an amazing job and everything worked out smoothly.

874
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 3: Of course, not the results we wanted.

875
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 5: But you know one thing about coach O'Connell, he's got

876
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 5: them refocused, reshifted, and I feel real good about the

877
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 5: energy coming into this game.

878
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:47,240
Speaker 2: Mark, Why do you think the NFL likes you guys,

879
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Vikings traveling abroad so frequently.

880
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, we do have a great fan base,

881
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:57,240
Speaker 5: and second, we're very supportive of the league the international efforts.

882
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 5: So you know, when they spoke to us about playing

883
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 5: two row games overseas and supporting it, we're all for it.

884
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 5: We're doing marketing in London, We're doing what we can

885
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 5: to promote the game. But We've always had a great

886
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 5: fan base in Europe and it shows and I know

887
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 5: in Tottenham on Sunday we're going to have it as well.

888
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 5: So all that combined, I think the league has come

889
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 5: to us. So saying all that, we got to get

890
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 5: the win on Sunday, what are the benefits to the team, Well,

891
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 5: I mean the benefits it's twofold. You know, from a

892
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 5: football standpoint, these are both road games, so you know

893
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,959
Speaker 5: you do take away a little bit of the home field,

894
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 5: although Dublin did feel a little.

895
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh e to us.

896
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 5: But I know this weekend we're gonna have a lot

897
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 5: of Minnesota there, so that'll be good. And on the

898
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,320
Speaker 5: business side, again, we have a lot of corporate sponsors,

899
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 5: we have a lot of people that love the Vikings,

900
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 5: with a big fan fest this weekend in London. We

901
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 5: have a Viking bar that's being set up down by

902
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 5: the London Bridge. So there's a lot of energy and

903
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 5: excitement about the Minnesota Vikings and our brand and what.

904
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,399
Speaker 3: It can bring to the business community as well.

905
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 2: And you mentioned the worldly nature of Minnesota Vikings fans

906
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,359
Speaker 2: and it causes me to hearken to twenty thirteen when

907
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 2: you beat Pittsburgh at Wembley, and you know, like the

908
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 2: night before the game there was music. I can't remember

909
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 2: the name of the band, but your brother was there

910
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 2: for sure, and you could just kind of tell wow.

911
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 2: I mean, like, how does the appeal of the Minnesota

912
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 2: Vikings reach so far? There's so many Vikings fans in Europe. Well,

913
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,320
Speaker 2: all of our history. I mean this goes back twenty

914
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 2: thirty years. I think we were playing preseason games in

915
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 2: Scandinavia and all.

916
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,320
Speaker 5: The rest, and you know, the Minnesota Vikings that we

917
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 5: have such a rich history. So we have fans all

918
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 5: over the world. And when you see that purple and

919
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 5: goal over here, it's re energizing. I think the players

920
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 5: feel it as well, and we're going to feel it

921
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 5: this Sunday.

922
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 2: And you know, I probably shouldn't mention names here because

923
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 2: when I mentioned a few names, I'm going to leave

924
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 2: some out because of just everything from an operational standpoint

925
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 2: that has gone into this unprecedented back back journey. Chad Lundein,

926
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 2: Paul Martin, malam Burgess, Chuck Peterson operations. Then you get

927
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 2: into Mike Parson and his staff, you get into Tyler

928
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 2: and his staff. There's so much that goes in to

929
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 2: the back to back nature, and it seems like it's

930
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:17,240
Speaker 2: just gone swimmingly.

931
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 3: I mean, thank you for.

932
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 5: Mentioning all those names, because they are all superstars, and

933
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 5: I know Coach feels it as well.

934
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 3: I just spoke to them about it.

935
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 5: I mean, the things that run so smoothly makes the

936
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 5: culture as good as it is in white players and

937
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 5: staff want to be around it, and I think that's

938
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 5: going to bode well for our long term franchise future.

939
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 3: And that's how you win championships. You have all parts

940
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 3: working smoothly, including the guys you mentioned as as co

941
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 3: owner and president.

942
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 2: I mean that really legitimately has to make you proud,

943
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 2: and I talk about it nine to noon on the

944
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 2: radio too. Where culture can be such a trite and

945
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,800
Speaker 2: overused term this day and age, but for somebody like

946
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:56,919
Speaker 2: me and somebody like you, we've been around a couple

947
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 2: of decades.

948
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 3: You know, we know what bad culture looks like.

949
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 2: You know what authentic culture looks like like it is

950
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 2: now and that's really hard to attain absolutely, and it's

951
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 2: something you know.

952
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 5: You can pour resources into something, but you need the

953
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 5: right people. And between Quasi and Coach and robres Andsking,

954
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 5: all the people you just mentioned, and Andrew Miller, everybody

955
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 5: pulling together, and you feel it when you're overseas. It

956
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 5: really takes a lot to pull all this together, and

957
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 5: when you have the injuries we've had and every club

958
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 5: goes through it, but you have the recovery setup and

959
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 5: the systems we have. So we're proud of it all

960
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 5: and we're hoping for winning formulas here and last one

961
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 5: or two here with Mark Wilf team president, you know, you.

962
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 2: Take the boss hat off and put on the fan

963
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,399
Speaker 2: hat where you want the team to win every single game.

964
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 2: Do do you have to sometimes like take a step

965
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 2: back and recognize, Wow, look at all these injuries. We've

966
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 2: had to use two quarterbacks, but we still have thirteen left.

967
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 3: You know, the fan in you, how does it handle it? Well,

968
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 3: I'm taking the coaches Q on this.

969
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 5: You know you can say but and if all day long,

970
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 5: but we've got to go out and Sunday and do

971
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 5: what we've got to do. And I know he's going

972
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 5: to have them ready and you know you got to

973
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 5: get it done. The NFL is a week by week deal,

974
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 5: and again we do have the roster to get it done.

975
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 5: And I'm proud of how the guys are fighting through

976
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 5: and playing last one.

977
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 2: The Vikings will head into Sunday's game with their twelfth

978
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 2: offensive line combination. Then they that's just the season. Then

979
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 2: they get the bye after this. Out of that at

980
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 2: home against Philadelphia, now Sunday against Cleveland. Well, their head

981
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 2: coach is Kevin Stefanski, somebody who was with you at

982
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 2: decade and a half. You guys gave him a big

983
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 2: chance with Childress in two thousand and six, the very

984
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 2: early years of your ownership tenure.

985
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 5: I know you're very fond of him. He's quite good

986
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 5: at what he does. Absolutely, you know Kevin. I mean,

987
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 5: he's been with us since the beginning and we were

988
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,879
Speaker 5: very happy, and we knew day one that one day

989
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:53,879
Speaker 5: he was going to be an NFL head coach. He's

990
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 5: that smart, he's got that great personality to work with everybody.

991
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:01,320
Speaker 5: So it'll be a a strange experience see him on

992
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 5: the other sideline. We'll give him a little hug and

993
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 5: wish him well, but you know, we got to win

994
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 5: on Sunday. But he's an amazing person.

995
