1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: Human.

2
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: All right, surety here I said it earlier. What do

3
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 2: you think of this?

4
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 3: Given nobody of significance is shooting down the fact that

5
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 3: Brian Flores defensive coordinator Vikings contract is up at the

6
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 3: end of the season. I think it's fair to lay

7
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 3: it out like this for me. And this is with

8
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 3: absolutely no steam, no tapping on shoulders, no background. This

9
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,639
Speaker 3: is just playing the discernment card. I don't know what

10
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 3: Floras makes, and I don't care what Flores makes. I

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 3: do not envision him becoming a head coach this next

12
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 3: cycle coming at us, and I'm not even sure he

13
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 3: wants to be a head coach. Quite honestly, I think

14
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 3: I just think that's a little overrated after the last cycle.

15
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: I think this part's key.

16
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 3: Brian and his wife have kids in Minnesota sports programs,

17
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 3: and he and his wife love Minnesota, they love where

18
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 3: they live, and they love these programs their kids are in. Now,

19
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 3: it would be the first time somebody would take a

20
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 3: bleep load of money and go somewhere else to coordinate

21
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 3: and become an associate head coach and uproot kids and

22
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 3: move them. No, but it just I'd be shocked if

23
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 3: Brian is not here on some new swanky deal. It

24
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 3: feels like it has some blank checked terrorism to it.

25
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 3: I can't see the family saying no, the family being

26
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 3: the wolfs. And I mean this is regurgitated a little bit,

27
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 3: but just just for reminders, look what he has orchestrated

28
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 3: or been part of this year. And I'm gonna start

29
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 3: with Fabian Moreau. All right, people are like twenty three

30
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 3: who cares really well, You don't care until somebody's bad

31
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 3: and they keep getting beat by double moves and you've

32
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 3: got nobody behind them. Fabe Moreau never ever, ever is

33
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 3: on the wrong side of catastrophic things. And that doesn't

34
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 3: bear repeating, but I think it's significant given as much

35
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 3: as he plays. Harrison Smith is a renaissance man. The

36
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 3: offense all season has failed to consistently sustain drives. You

37
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 3: were plus six on the Lions, who had eight gives

38
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 3: all year. I mean, that's pay Rays bump Worthy right there.

39
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 3: Didn't give up a passing touchdown to Dak Love Caleb

40
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 3: Darnold and almost put golf on a fat zero. Eric

41
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 3: Wilson is the most tackles for loss of all NFL linebackers.

42
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 3: Cashman is identifiable in that you notice him all over

43
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 3: the place, mixes in like fourteen to sixteen tackles a game.

44
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: I think you set the franchise record on Christmas Day.

45
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 3: Super reliable. We call that blank check terrorism. Because my

46
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 3: discernment leads me to what I said earlier. My bets

47
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 3: would be Brian Flores doesn't want to leave, and they

48
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 3: won't let it become an issue.

49
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 4: Why do you think I think for the I think

50
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 4: for the most part, you're right. I think I personally

51
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 4: think as family piece matters. I think the family piece matters.

52
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 4: I think that this is a person that has growing

53
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 4: leverage and control over his unit, potentially personnel in such

54
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 4: people that he wants to bring in to mold this defense.

55
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 3: Does the change if Clayton tune goes for three sixty

56
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 3: four and zero.

57
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 4: I don't think it changes because I don't think that'll happen.

58
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 4: I was he one to four with a pick or

59
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 4: whatever he was when he had to go.

60
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: In the other night.

61
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: Though.

62
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 4: The one thing for me is I've always looked at

63
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 4: the Steelers and this could be dumb. Ever since he

64
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 4: went there after things went south in Miami. He went

65
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 4: there as an assistant to Tomlin. My first instinct was

66
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 4: that's a that's a baton handoff. Now that didn't happen.

67
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 4: They re upped Tomlin, and then of course Flora comes

68
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 4: here as the DC.

69
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: I argde you go with this on fan line, and

70
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: I loved it.

71
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 4: All the weirdness that exists around the legal situation between

72
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 4: Flores and the league, forget all that drama just for

73
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 4: a moment. I think that if he is going to

74
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 4: sink his teeth into a second opportunity, it has to

75
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 4: be the A plus of a class, the almost a

76
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 4: nookie blanky true understanding of what he's entering into with

77
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 4: that organization. And so I think the only job that

78
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 4: he would ultimately leave for to elevate into a head

79
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 4: coaching job this offseason would be the Pittsburgh Steelers, and I.

80
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: I don't think is going to be open.

81
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 3: And if people truly want Harrison Smith to return, you

82
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 3: want Flores. I'm positive on Harrison Smith's returning. I mean,

83
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 3: at the end of the season last year, let's go

84
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 3: all the cart year by year, there were just some

85
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 3: things that were taking place on the back end of

86
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 3: the defense, granted against a red hot Lions offense with

87
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 3: Ben where I'm kind of like, yeah, okay, so he

88
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 3: went there and we'll figure it out stuff like that.

89
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 3: This this is not hyperbole that Harrison's Harrison Smith is

90
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 3: playing as well right now as almost at any point

91
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 3: of his career that I can remember.

92
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 4: And I think I think they're using him differently too

93
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 4: over the last couple of months where they're putting him

94
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 4: at the line and he's not running forty yards back

95
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 4: pre snap. He is coming right and and he's finding

96
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 4: his way to the QB. I just you're you've seen

97
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 4: the mental side of his game, I think really shine

98
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 4: over the last so many weeks. Take Don and and yeah,

99
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 4: I mean if he's able to come back, there's part

100
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 4: of this not just that I love to too Operation

101
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 4: forty twenty club, but also what Harrison Smith, what that

102
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 4: what that that hole would look like without him, and

103
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 4: what that means moving forward because Flora is from anyone

104
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 4: since he got here. We want to take some snaps

105
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 4: off the old time, or we want to keep some

106
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 4: tread on those tires for twenty two. But he can't, right,

107
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 4: he can't, and all respect him at Tellus and and

108
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 4: THEO Jackson's trying to make his way. You can't have

109
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 4: two to two off the field as it currently is.

110
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, let's go year by year with them.

111
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 3: When the when the Vikings beat the Lions on Christmas Day,

112
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 3: yours truly brought the contraption to the Vikings locker room,

113
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 3: uh for for several reasons, but mainly to celebrate that

114
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 3: game Harrison Smith had that day. That's a common thread

115
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 3: in our drive by conversations.

116
00:06:20,680 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 2: We're gonna play him back now, all right, welcome back

117
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: to nine to noon.

118
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 3: First day at Christmas, Vikings gave to me a final

119
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 3: game against green Bay. Second day at Christmas, Vikings gave

120
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 3: to me two interceptions.

121
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 2: For what PARTN eight from the twenty eight big Blitz.

122
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 5: Van Gigkle smacks Goff, who gets it off.

123
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 4: Henny crows an interception Byron Murphy Junior.

124
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 5: Yes, Sir, Henny runs on the bounds at the forty

125
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 5: eight yard line. Minnesota Vikings up turned over the Detroit

126
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 5: Lions three.

127
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 3: Times Byron, drive by Byron. You win eighteen without an interception.

128
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 3: Now you've got interceptions in consecutive games. Man, it's like

129
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 3: you're showing off.

130
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: Definitely.

131
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 6: Obviously, me and you we talked about this coming up

132
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 6: short throughout the whole season not having any Just you know,

133
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 6: once I got my first one, I gotta keep stacking him,

134
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 6: obviously making place for a defense.

135
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 7: But today was a great day and it was just amazing.

136
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 3: Finily, that's phenomenal. The guy who are left, You're right

137
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 3: my left, Harrison Smith. I mean, I'm gonna wait for

138
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 3: the media to leave and I'm gonna walk up to

139
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 3: him with the drive by, say, bro, you just can't stop.

140
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 2: Honestly, you can't.

141
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 3: I know it's fourteen years, might be tired and stuff

142
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 3: like that, but holy cow, is he playing good man?

143
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 8: Probably? Like I said, he's a goat.

144
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 6: He's a Hall of Femer for a reason, one of

145
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 6: the best, and obviously still playing at a high level.

146
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 6: And like you said, I don't want him to go nowhere.

147
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 6: That's the leader of our room. But yeah, definitely been

148
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 6: playing at a high level and I just love I

149
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 6: love being around it.

150
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:38,400

157
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,040

158

00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 3: picking an interception today, three passes, defense, block shots, as

160
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 3: Kevin O'Connell calls them. He joined Ronde Barber as the

161
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 3: only two players in the history of the NFL with

162
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 3: at least thirty eight picks and twenty one and.

163
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 2: A half sacks. So he might be done, but he

164
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 2: just can't be done. Man. He's playing so good. He's

165
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 2: playing great.

166
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: Man.

167
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 9: He's a leader out there. Man, recount on him. He's

168
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 9: the heart of this defense. So it's awesome to see

169
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 9: him go out there and make plays on a big day,

170
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 9: Christmas Day, tight game division.

171
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 2: It's huge.

172
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: Man.

173
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 2: Hey, Eric helped me with this.

174
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 3: The Lions came into the game with only eight gibbs,

175
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 3: fewest in the NFL. Wasn't even close. You guys went

176
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 3: out there and took it six times from them. I mean,

177
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 3: b flowed. The whole defense is just on fire right

178
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 3: now with the unpredictability at the line.

179
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 2: What do you think about all that?

180
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 9: I think it's a testament playing together.

181
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 10: Man.

182
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 9: Everybody's got to be on the same page with the

183
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 9: type of stuff that we do.

184
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 2: You know, we rely on one another.

185
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 9: We got to trust one another, and it's awesome for

186
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 9: it to be on display.

187
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: Well you buddy, Mary Christmas, Mary Christmas. Well Eric Wilson.

188
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 3: Eric Wilson leads all linebackers in the NFL with tackles

189
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 3: for a lost And we'll come over here real quick.

190
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 2: Jay Ward. It's you had one of those games today, man.

191
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 3: Where if you like look at the box score and stuff,

192
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 3: you'd be like, all right, we got this and we

193
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 3: got that. You're playing with your hair on fire right now, man,

194
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 3: I mean you are playing so good, jay Ward. We're

195
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 3: gonna get to that momentarily, because you've been a safety

196
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 3: in a corner this year. The guy over to our

197
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 3: right you're left, Harrison Smith. The common thread is he

198
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 3: just can't be done. I mean seriously, the way he's

199
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 3: playing right now, wouldn't you agree?

200
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 4: Yeah?

201
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,719
Speaker 2: He need to go and come back one, will you?

202
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 2: Which is uh. I just talked to Eric Wilson about this.

203
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 3: But Lions came into the game, man, they only gave

204
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 3: it away eight times the whole year. You guys took

205
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 3: it six times from them today or some.

206
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: Of the keys did doing your job. You're one and eleven.

207
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: The players go come to you, stot, don't chase them.

208
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, something we've talked about for about

209
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 3: a month and a half, you never having a sack

210
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 3: in your life. You actually had one in a preseason game.

211
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,599
Speaker 3: I think it might've been against Houston or Arizona a

212
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 3: few years remember.

213
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 10: That my rookie year against a Z But that don't

214
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 10: count those though.

215
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 3: All right, well, you got one more game to get

216
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 3: ones to go out there a THEO. Theo Jackson got

217
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 3: the first sack of his career today. You got to

218
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 3: be next, right.

219
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 11: It felt like I had got it when I seen

220
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 11: Theo get it.

221
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 2: But I'm doing a cluelessen. You're playing so good right now.

222
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 3: Man, God bless you and congratulations Mary Christ, Thank you,

223
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 3: Mary Christ. It's Jay Ward safety slash corner for the

224
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 3: Minnesota Vikings. Some drive bys after a rather convincing victory

225
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 3: over the Detroit Lions. Here here's Andrew van Ginkel that

226
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 3: that fumble recovery when they tried to quick snap and

227
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 3: get all sneaky and everything early kind of turned the

228
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 3: whole thing around.

229
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 2: Aaron Jones got into the end zone took the lead.

230
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: But you know, kind of the.

231
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 3: Common thread with this, Andrew has been Lions came into

232
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 3: the game with eight giveaways the entire season through fifteen games,

233
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 3: eight by far number one in the NFL.

234
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 2: You guys took it six times from them today. How

235
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: about that?

236
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: Uh?

237
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's you know, something that we struggle with at

238
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 12: times this season, and we knew when they came they

239
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 12: were gonna come in bunches.

240
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 8: So we're a resilient bunch. We keep fighting, we keep pushing.

241
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 12: Obviously, the season hasn't gone the way we wanted it to,

242
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 12: but you know, we we keep getting after it and

243
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 12: we play every game hard. We play physical, and we

244
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 12: play to the best of our ability, and when you

245
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 12: do that, good things happen.

246
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 3: What what's the season been like for you? I mean,

247
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 3: you missed some time and maybe coming back from that

248
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 3: it took a little while to get going, but it

249
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 3: seems like you're completely full throttle right now.

250
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 8: Yeah.

251
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 12: Obviously, you know it was tough being out those games.

252
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 12: You know, you sit there and you watch and you

253
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 12: know it's hard, you know, because you want to be

254
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 12: out there helping the team win. You want to be

255
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 12: doing everything you can to, you know, help the guys

256
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 12: in this locker room. You know, that's what it's all about.

257
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 12: And when you can't be out there, it can it

258
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 12: can cause some you know, stress on you.

259
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 8: But I'm happy with Yeah, you're right, you know.

260
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 12: It kind of took my footing to get going again,

261
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 12: but I feel like myself again. I feel confident, comfortable

262
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 12: and just trying to make.

263
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 2: Place all right.

264
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 3: The last lay the guy to your right my left.

265
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 3: Harrison Smith, fourteenth year from Notre Dame. Today was this

266
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 3: two hundred and second start, third most in the history

267
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 3: of Vikings football. I think it was this two hundred

268
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 3: and six game overall. After the game, he told Ben Lieber,

269
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 3: in all of the games he's played here, all two six,

270
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 3: today was one of the if not the best defensive

271
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 3: performances he's ever been a part of. I mean, I'm

272
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 3: gonna go over and chat with Harrison momentarian. He just

273
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 3: can't be done, Canny. I mean, maybe he's tired and everything.

274
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 3: Old people get tired. Just asked me, I'm gonna be

275
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 3: sixty in two weeks. But still he's playing so good.

276
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 2: He played you.

277
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 12: Know, he's so smart, he's he's knowledgeable of the game.

278
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 12: He you know, he might not have the step that

279
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 12: he used to have, but he's you know, he plays

280
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 12: with instincts. He plays smart. He knows exactly where to be,

281
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 12: which allows him to play fast. And you know, he's

282
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 12: the leader of our team. He deserves to be in

283
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 12: the Hall of Fame. He has, He's had a great

284
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 12: career and who knows what he did does at the

285
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 12: end of this year.

286
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 8: But you know, I'm proud to be able to be.

287
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 12: His teammate, to be able to play with him and

288

Speaker 12: use that my career going forward.

Speaker 3: And just take us inside the weeds as quickly as

291
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 3: much as you can without oversharing obviously, But I mean

292
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 3: the role of this defense is on right now with

293
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 3: with the deception and the play calls, and you know,

294
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 3: I mean Golf super smart and Dak Prescott's super smart,

295

00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 3: of them.

297
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, it starts with flow.

298
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 12: What he you know, he comes with the game plan

299
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 12: every week and you know, Harrison Smith, he does does

300
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,440

00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 12: You know, he has the lead right to make these

302
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 12: changes at the line to you know, try to be

303
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 12: one step ahead of them.

304
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 8: When they check, we try to check.

305
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:26,640

00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 3: you play.

316
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 2: God bless you.

317
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 8: It means a lot to me. Merry Christmas to you

318
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 8: as well.

319
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 2: Andrew Van Ginkel.

320
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 3: After the Vikings beat the Detroit Lions approved eight and eight,

321
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 3: Harrison Smith still being interviewed by members of the media.

322
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 3: We'll go ahead and put the drive by Mike right

323
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 3: by Harrison. See what saying right now before we get him.

324
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 10: And that kind of like, I don't know if that

325
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 10: just kind of excites your nervous system or.

326
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 2: What it is, but it's a lot of fun. Earlier

327
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 2: as emotional as you've ever been after.

328
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 7: I don't know.

329
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 10: I'm pretty like honestly, I've been emotional since I was.

330
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 2: Like since I was a kid playing football.

331
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 10: I used to my dad told Manny to like find

332
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 10: a way to get it under control. So I know

333
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 10: that's not my reputation because I'm pretty quiet. But the

334
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 10: game of football is it's emotional. So it just it

335
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 10: just happens sometimes.

336
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 13: I feel like that just getting later in your career,

337
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 13: that that comes to be a bigger part of it.

338
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 13: Just understanding the context of I only have so many

339
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 13: of these days left, whether it's this year, next year, whatever.

340
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 10: Yeah, there's definitely a you know, a maturity then you

341
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 10: realize your own football mortality. It's when you're young, you're

342
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 10: just there's there's no end in sight, and you know,

343
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 10: the past couple of years, it's I know it's there.

344
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 10: It's like it's not a it's not a motion out

345
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 10: of sadness. It's just because it's it's it's more heightened,

346
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 10: I would say, so you just feel a little more.

347
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just gonna sneak in a quick drive by here.

348
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 3: I'm never gonna forget today. And you had a lot

349
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 3: to do with that, and you know you and I've

350
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 3: been around for a long time, man, And after the game,

351
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 3: you told Ben Leeber today was your two hundred and

352
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 3: second start, third most in the history of the Vikings,

353
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 3: passing hof Carleler. I think you've played two six or

354
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 3: two oh seven. You told Ben this is one of

355
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 3: the greatest defensive performances you've ever been part of. That

356
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 3: is such a big statement to make, and you're absolutely right.

357
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 3: But like what was going through your mind when you

358
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 3: said that, what led to like one of the best

359
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 3: over the last fourteen years.

360
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I think.

361
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 10: It's the It's probably the reality to start with, but

362
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 10: just like the amount of plays getting made by everybody,

363
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 10: the way that we decided to play, I think, I

364
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 10: think is what I was speaking to the most, and

365
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 10: I was on I've been on a lot of defenses

366
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 10: that did have that style and I will never forget

367
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 10: those ones either, and those from some phenomenal defenses. You know,

368
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 10: It's just it's just how it went today, and we

369
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 10: were feeding off each other.

370
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna let you go here. Man.

371
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 3: You've had a lot of media stuff and it's been

372
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 3: a tree watching you and waiting for you.

373
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 2: My common thread here has been that the Lions.

374
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 3: Came into the game with a Gibbs Okay, absolutely best

375
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 3: in the NFL.

376
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 2: You guys took it from them six.

377
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 3: Times today, So as the team goes, it's the most

378
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 3: underrated story in the NFL because of the record. I mean,

379
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 3: you got the Bears doing what they're doing, Denver finally loses,

380
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,719
Speaker 3: but I mean this defense is absolutely one of the

381
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 3: best in the NFL. I think people will start talking

382
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 3: about it now. Not that you care about that, but

383
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 3: this defense man. When O'Connell says the cat and mouse

384
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 3: like you have with smart quarterbacks like Dak and Jerref,

385
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 3: how do you get ready for that?

386
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 9: Like?

387
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 2: What are some keys? Realistically?

388
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 10: It's just it starts with just the amount of experience

389
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 10: I have in the game, Like and I was fortunate

390
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 10: to play previously for you know, Mike Zimmer, who was

391
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 10: very aggressive as a play caller as well, so I

392
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 10: had I had some experience. And then when Flow got here,

393
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 10: you know, it's it's it's not the same, it's it's different.

394
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 10: It's his own thing, but he's he's kind of expanded

395
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 10: some things we can do and given a little bit

396
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 10: of I think I've said this before, like a little

397
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 10: bit of autonomic autonomy to the players because he builds

398
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 10: the system and has trust that we can execute all

399
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 10: the things within it. And I think it's you know,

400
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 10: we started out three years ago doing it and it

401
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 10: was it was okay, and built last year and I

402
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 10: think you're kind of and it gets to a pretty

403
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 10: high level right now.

404
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 3: He's diabolical. That's the only way to put it. I

405
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 3: know you're not going to commit. You can't be done,

406
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? I mean, honestly, I've called all

407
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 3: your games, man, and you know, all the way back

408
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 3: to twenty fifteen, to the College Stadium when you picked

409
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 3: off Eli Manning for your fourth interception touchdown me, we

410
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 3: go all the way back, man. It's you're not conclusively

411
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 3: done right fourteen into it.

412
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 10: I'm I'm not thinking about it right now. And I've

413
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 10: said that like the last three or four years, so

414
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 10: you're probably sick of that answer.

415
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 2: But that's great.

416
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 10: It's I'm having fun right now and I don't want

417
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 10: to take anything away.

418
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 3: From Love you very much, buddy. You're fantastic at what

419
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 3: you do. Merry Christmas and congratulations on the win. Merry Christmas,

420
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 3: Pa Harrison Smith. He's the bomb. Holy cow.

421
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 2: I mean, what a what a memorable memorable day.

422
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 3: Guided by Harrison Smith as we do some post game

423
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 3: drive bys, walk.

424
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 2: Over here, Jail and Redmond, Jail and Redman all over

425
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 2: the field again the the.

426
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 3: Lions came into the game, man, with eight giveaways the

427
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 3: whole year. All right, Now, I understand it's the giving season,

428
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 3: but I don't think they thought to come in here

429
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 3: and give it away six times. You took it from

430
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 3: them six times and they only had eight into the game.

431
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 3: What do you think some of the keys were?

432
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 11: Yeah, man, that's I have to get out to the

433
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 11: to the defense and back again, getting that pressure up

434
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 11: on them real quick, and you know, just trying to

435
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 11: get get the ball out quick. And the guys in

436
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 11: the back end did what they were supposed to do.

437
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 3: How do you define like what you do as a

438
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 3: defensive tackle defensive lineman. I mean, you got really good wiggle,

439
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 3: You're you're defined as the defensive tackle. But like with

440
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 3: Grenard or Van Ginkle were down at one point, you

441
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,239
Speaker 3: were standing up on the edge and stuff like that

442
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 3: for a little bit. But like, what are some keys

443
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 3: to playing as well as you've played this year?

444
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 11: Jailing man, just just to practice, just doing it. Honestly,

445
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 11: there's really no just no real formula to you know.

446
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 3: Let me rephrase it. I mean you're a year and

447
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 3: change removed from being in Arlington or Dallas running game. Okay,

448
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 3: and I know you had a blood cloud issue earlier

449
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 3: in your life, you know, and clearly you've worked your

450
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 3: way through that. So like, like, what what do you

451
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 3: think people missed? You know when you came out of Oklahoma?

452
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 3: You know, because clearly with all these tackles for loss

453
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 3: and these sacks and everything, you belonged as a starter

454
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 3: in the NFL.

455
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 5: Uh.

456
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 11: Yeah, Man, I say this all the time. I wouldn't

457
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 11: change everything that happened in my past for anything. Yeah,

458
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 11: it happened when it was supposed to happen. I probably wouldn't,

459
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 11: you know, I probably couldn't handle what I'm doing right

460
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 11: now at that age coming out. So I say that

461
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 11: all the time. Man, it happened when it was supposed to.

462
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 11: It was a horrorad, but we got through. Congratulations, have

463
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 11: a very merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to YouTube, Thank you him, God,

464
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 11: bless you, Mam. Jael and Redmond part of the Vikings

465
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 11: defensive line. That had a really really good time today against.

466
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 2: A makeshift Lions offensive line.

467
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 3: But you know what, the Minnesota Vikings had a makeshift

468
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 3: moving company too. They came into it with Justin's school

469
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 3: making his eighth start at left tackle, Michael Jurgens making

470
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 3: a second start at center replacing Ryan Kelly, and Brian

471
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 3: O'Neill tried to give it a go, but it.

472
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 2: Was a late scratch.

473
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 3: So therefore Blake brandle I had to step in and

474
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 3: start at right tackle, and they all played.

475
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 2: Part of it.

476
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 3: As Max Brosmer walks to his press conference, we're going

477
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:19,360

Speaker 7: Do what can I watch that?

481
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 3: That's a bright wing from Continental Diamond. And since we

482
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 3: just gave him that nice little pope, we can save

483
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 3: some money on it. You've got a press conference to do.

00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 3: the Detroit Lions to improved a eight and eight. Oh

499
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 3: traps to the other side of the locker room. Can't

500
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 3: leave Christmas without brief Aaron Jones conversation. I mean you're tough, man,

501
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 3: You're tough. Merry Christmas, God bless you. You're a veteran.

502
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 3: You played against Haarris and Smith. I just got done

503
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 3: chat with him. Man, I'm like, you just.

504
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 2: I mean, you can't be done. Are you kidding me?

505
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 2: It's I've called all of his games. He's playing as

506
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 2: well right now as he's ever played.

507
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 14: Yeah, And after the game he came in here and

508
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 14: he's like, I don't know if I've ever had as

509
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 14: much fun. He was like talking addressing the team, and

510
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 14: then I shouted out, oh, so that means you got

511
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 14: to come back next year if you're having this much fun.

512
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 14: So just honored to be able to play with him

513
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,959
Speaker 14: now after playing against him, and I've got to have

514
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 14: conversations with him and tell him how he's made me

515
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 14: a better player and kind of gave me the confidence

516
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 14: that I've arrived playing against him as well, So he's

517
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 14: done a lot for my confidence. And then just being

518
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 14: able to pick his brain as a veteran, Hey, what

519
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 14: is the safety see on this? Are they looking at

520
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 14: the backsize? If you have a if you have the

521
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 14: back and man, what are you thinking? And I know

522
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 14: all dv's played different because they rely on their their

523
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 14: technique or their skill what makes them them, but you

524
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 14: can get a good gauge of what guys are thinking.

525
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 7: And he's he's a true leader.

526
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 14: And you see the I don't know if he was

527
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 14: in here after the game, but you see the true

528
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 14: reception that he got. And I hope he comes back

529
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 14: next year. I'm gonna stand his ear. His lockers are

530
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 14: right next to him one at TCO, so I'm gonna

531
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 14: stand his ear and C J.

532
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 3: Ham So all right, And when I say, I mean,

533
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 3: there's so many things I appreciate you about Aaron. When

534
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 3: you played for Green Bay, Man, I just heard a

535
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 3: bunch of things from Packers, packer media and stuff on

536
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 3: how much they loved you there and the fans loved you.

537
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 3: And now we're living it and seeing it here. You

538
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 3: got your first touchdown in a month and a half.

539
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 3: That was great to start festivities. But when you left

540
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 3: that giant scam early, man, you know why, Gee you

541
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 3: on the sideline, work your way to get back in

542
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 3: the game. For yourself, sure, but for your team too,

543
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 3: because Jordan got hurt too, and you knew they needed you.

544
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 3: But you also know this is a non playoff here.

545
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 3: Yet you still bust your butt to get out there

546
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 3: and be with your teammates. Not everybody's like that, Man,

547
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 3: I've seen a lot like you. Not everybody's like that.

548
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 3: Why is it so important for you to play through

549
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 3: these injuries to help your brothers?

550
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 7: So's football character one. We're building.

551
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 14: We're building and we're forging for next year, and I

552
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 14: want to I want them to.

553
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 7: See, especially the young guys.

554
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 14: Hey, if it's not broke, if it is, if I'm

555
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 14: not out for the season, I can get out there.

556
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 14: I can tape it up and I can find a way.

557
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 14: And like you said, I know my teammates are depending

558
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 14: on me and relying on me, and I feel like,

559
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 14: truly I can't let them down.

560
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 7: So that's just on my herd.

561
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 14: And then also if I'm sitting on the sideline and

562
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 14: wondering if I can play and don't, it's gonna bother

563
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 14: me more. And just even when I am, like against

564
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 14: Detroit the first time we played him in I got

565
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 14: hurt and didn't couldn't come back in the game, and

566
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 14: it hurt me more to be on the sideline watching

567
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 14: than to be out there with those guys.

568
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 3: Lastly, I want to give some love to one of

569
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 3: your running back room brothers.

570
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 2: I'm a huge Ty Chandler guy.

571
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 3: Man, he's one of the sweetest people, and he's fast

572
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 3: and he's good and it's bug to bleep out of

573
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 3: him all year that he had to battle that injury,

574
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 3: got himself back, was an active when active today with

575
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 3: Mason down, ended up being your backup.

576
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 2: Ty gave you a little pop. I mean, that's so

577
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 2: great for Ty Chandler.

578
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 14: He gave us a huge, a huge pick me up.

579
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 7: When he came in the game.

580
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 14: I told him was probably today's Thursday, so I probably

581
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 14: told him Wednesday, no Tuesday walking out of the facility.

582
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 7: Hey, I'm proud of you. I know at the.

583
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 14: Beginning of the year, or even before that, vern OTAs

584
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 14: when you're back at home and all season on your

585
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 14: own and your training, you're putting in that work. You

586
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 14: never envisited your season going like this, and you didn't

587
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 14: come playing about it one time.

588
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 7: You kept your head down. You showed up to work

589
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 7: every day.

590
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 14: You was still a joy to be around at light,

591
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 14: giving your feedback on what you see and helping everybody.

592
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 14: And he showed up. Like I said, he showed up

593
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 14: every day. He could have been feeling bad, sad for

594
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 14: himself or bad.

595
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 7: He never did that.

596
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 14: And I told him it always works out the way

597
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 14: as opposed to and I'm happy he's getting his opportunity.

598
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 14: And then when it was his time to go in

599
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 14: the game, I told him, Hey, make the most of

600
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 14: every opportunity you get.

00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 3: N the Minnesota Timberwolves.

624
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 2: They're on the Uh. They're on the Timberwolves.

625
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 3: iHeart Audio channel UH and that one's at seven o'clock

626
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 3: from the second city the Bulls have beaten the Timberwolves

627
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 3: five of the last eight times and off some of that,

628
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 3: you know, potential trade related conversation involving the Timberwolves, the

629
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 3: trading deadline and potentially looking for point guards. Well, you

630
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 3: can watch a couple tonight who could be tradable. The

631
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 3: name Kobe White popped up due to Legion Hoops or

632
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 3: something a couple of weeks ago. Kobe White's going great

633
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 3: guns for the Bulls and somebody I'd be interested in

634
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 3: because his minutes are cut right now. He's a Minnesotan too,

635
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 3: so people may dig that. But Trey Jones plays about

636
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five minutes a game. It's kind of lost

637
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 3: in the shuffle. With the likes of Kobe White and

638
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 3: Josh Giddy, Trey Jones, he might be attainable and he's

639
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 3: a true point guard. So that's tonight seven o'clock. iHeart Timberwolves.

640
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,200

659

660
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 4: Weston's man all should be feared. And then whatever with

661
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 4: the Panthers and Bucks. No goal line touches for Bucky Irving.

662
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:46,040
