52
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 2: Courtesy of Second Harvest Heartland and two Harvest dot Org. Chris,

53
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 2: It's Paul Allen. Good morning to you.

54
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: Hey, good morning, Paul. How you doing all.

55
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: Right, ma'am? Sorry about the loss last night for those

56
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 2: who missed it. Why did you lay on the sword

57
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 2: after the game for the Reeves winner?

58
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: Well, you know, in those situations, I think, uh, you know,

59
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: we've been really good when we just kind of switch everything,

60
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: keep everything in front, and you know, yesterday we we

61
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: kind of stayed in what you call coverage, and uh,

62
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: you know, the most important thing is whether you decided

63
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: to do A or B or C, is that you

64
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 1: have great clarity on what you're doing. And you know,

65
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: I think maybe there was a little bit of uh

66
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: indecision on what we were going to do there, so

67
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: uh totally on me in that moment in time. I

68
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: thought we executed the play before perfectly well, wanted to

69
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: take the foul. Uh, And then after that, I just

70
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, we needed to be a little

71
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: bit more clear on what was going on.

72
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 2: So right, yeah, yeah, I saw it. I understand. I mean,

73
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: I understand what you're saying. Certainly, I'm not going to

74
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 2: get into mental gyrations with an elite NBA mind, But

75
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 2: I thought Austin Reeves had a nice floater. I mean,

76
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: do you know, maybe don take out there a half

77
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 2: second late, but uh, I mean that was a tough shot.

78
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 2: Kind of a tough shot, don't you think.

79
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it. A tough shot. I think.

80
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: You know, we had our two two best defenders in

81
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: the action. You know, he split them, which was a

82
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: great play by him, and you know he's got that

83
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: deadly kind of in between game. Uh, and Dante did

84
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: a really good job of stepping up and he contested

85
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: the heck out of it, but you know, it splashed

86
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: through that as the time expired. So all credit to

87
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: him and all credit to them. They they deserved that

88
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: win last night. They deserve that shot to go in.

89
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: You know, we we we we challenged it hard, but

90
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: ideally at that point in time, you don't want to

91
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: be split. You want to keep everything in front, you know,

92
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: make him make a similar shot over Rudy rather than

93
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 1: you know, over a smaller defender in the paint.

94
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 5: Mm hm.

95
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: And and last night in that loss to the Lakers,

96
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 2: at one point lost to the Lakers. Uh, you guys

97
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 2: gave up ninety seven through three, which obviously is not preferred.

98
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 2: Is is establishing defensive identity an early season a topic

99
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: for you, no doubt about it.

100
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: And uh, you know it's that's something we we've been

101
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: good at. We've had a couple of the worst defensive

102
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: performances in my time here. Can't quite put my finger

103
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: on exactly why. I think there's some collection or reasons. Uh,

104
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: but uh, you know, we've got to get back. I thought, uh,

105
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: with to have more of a defensive personality. Uh. I

106
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: thought it was good to see Jaden back, you know,

107
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: the Jayden that we've seen and come to know as

108
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: a top level defender. I thought he did a really

109
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: good job of bothering Reeve's shot making. You know, Reeves

110
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: did a really good job of finding his teammates. But

111
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: I thought Jaden was outstanding on him, and you know

112
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,239
Speaker 1: that's what we We definitely needed that. It's a step

113
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: in the right direction.

114
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: How how how'd you put him on a nineteen in

115
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. I mean, you get the ninety seven through, which, which,

116
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 2: like we said, was not preferred, but then it's a

117
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 2: nineteen in the fourth quarter. How'd you do that?

118
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, that was just you know, that's being more

119
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: like we need to be. We just can't wait to

120
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter to do it. We uh, we got

121
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: more physical, We got into you know, into the ball.

122
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: Actually we got into there to the rest of them too.

123
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: It was I thought, you know, La Rabia and connect

124
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: had comfortable games. They were able to get to this

125
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: spot easily, and you know, we just kind of got

126
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: a little bit more aggressive. And you know, we've been

127
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: playing tentative defensively, like we're afraid to foul. We do.

128
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 1: We have had a fouling issues, So I don't know

129
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: if guys are kind of trying not to foul. But

130
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: there's a there's a right type of physicality and a

131
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: way to play without fouling, and we haven't found that

132
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: balance yet.

133
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: Chris Finch, coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Weekly nine to

134
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 2: now thank you, second Harvest Artland and to two Harvest

135
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 2: dot org. Two Harvest dot org. With the holiday season approaching,

136
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 2: please please give the webs I had to look. If

137
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 2: you are so inclined, this may have a little loser's

138
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 2: lament to it, but I'm a fired anyway. Austin Reeves,

139
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 2: all right, he's the hottest player in the NBA right now. Man.

140
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: He had fifty one over the weekend and and you

141
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 2: guys put him on a bad shooting game and three

142
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 2: of eleven from three. All right, so despite the game

143
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 2: winning floater, it seems the plan there with him, I

144
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 2: mean he's their best scorer. Obviously without Luca and Lebron,

145
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: the plan there was pretty sound, right.

146
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he started again and lots of use.

147
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: Jayden did a really good job, and when other people

148
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: got on him, they for the most part, did a

149
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: really good job of making it hard. We picked him

150
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: up full court, We chased them around all the screens.

151
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: He's super crafty in the mid range. You know, he's

152
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: he's kind of a He does a really good job

153
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: of selling contact to the officials. So you got to

154
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: be real clean around him. But you know, we crowded

155
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: the areas that he wanted to go, and you know,

156
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: he made the right play, kicked out, and his teammates

157
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: delivered for him by making some shots.

158
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 2: And Chris, Chris you mentioned, picked him up, you know,

159
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 2: kind of full court. It's not Ye. Well, here's the

160
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 2: point is, I'm watching games last night or some games

161
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 2: the night before this This picking up players you know

162
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 2: three quarters court. That that that's happening a lot around

163
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 2: the league, isn't it.

164
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 1: It is? You're seeing more of it, you know. I

165
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: think it's a couple of reasons. I think everyone does

166
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: it for different reasons. Of course. Uh, you know, just

167
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: bring bring pressure, be disruptive. There's not a ton of

168
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: like great natural point guards and ball handlers that can

169
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: just carve up pressure with the ball in their hands

170
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: any anymore in the league. That's one.

171
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 2: Two.

172
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: It slows teams down. Everybody's trying to run. Everyone's abound

173
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: really stressing these early hit ahead passes to early attacks

174
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: and before defense can get set. So you're actually setting

175
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: your defense and establishing the up court pressure. And then

176
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: the final thing is, you know, analytically, we know that

177
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: the deeper you get into a shot clock, the tougher,

178
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: the shots become to make. And so that's really why

179
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: people run PA. It's not because it's fun and pretty

180
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: and fans love to see it. It's it's basically because

181
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: you get to the easiest, best, most efficient shots. So

182
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: the further you go in to the shot clock they get,

183
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: they get harder and harder, and so it's just a

184
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: way to eat clock if nothing else.

185
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 2: How do you think analytics analytics mesh with with basketball,

186
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 2: because like and and you know, maybe there are a

187
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 2: lot of things that help you win games that I

188
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 2: would know about, but like off what you just said,

189
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 2: analytics show that if you pressure them and it's slower

190
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 2: to get up the court, teams make fewer shots with

191
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 2: with fewer seconds on the shot clock. I mean that's

192
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 2: age old though, right, I mean it's it's like you've

193
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 2: known that ever since you started playing basketball.

194
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, I mean that's that hasn't changed. And you know,

195
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: now we have the analytics to prove what we've kind

196
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: of thought was always true. And the you know, analytics

197
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: for me, it's I've said this a lot. It's a guide,

198
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: not a god. You know, we're not going to do

199
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: something blindly just because it's telling us to do it.

200
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: I think when you're in the game planning phase, when

201
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: you're in the you know, building your team philosophy phase,

202
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: like when you're when you're more zoomed out on the game. Uh,

203
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: you know, analytics is a great place to kind of

204
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: fift through things to figure out, like within your own team,

205
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: you know what makes sense to winning. And but the

206
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: closer you get to the game or when you're in

207
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: the game, and you know, you have to use more

208
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: of your IQ, your basketball feel, your your experience, your knowledge,

209
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: your you know, your individual skill set tendencies that you

210
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: have on your roster. And uh, you know, because at

211
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: that point in time, it's a it's a minute by

212
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: minute problem. And when you have that, you know everything

213
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: the numbers will change a little bit. Now, if you

214
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: had ten thousand examples of something like that, then you

215
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: know you can make a proper analytics decision. You know.

216
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: You were kind enough to introduce me to Kevin O'Connell

217
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: last week in LA We had a really really cool

218
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: chat about, you know, analytics in football and how that

219
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: really affected fourth down decision making and now everybody's an

220
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: expert on what to do fourth down and it's not

221
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: always the case. As you know, as a coach, you

222
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: got to make a lot of decisions that might go

223
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: against analytics in the moment, even though you're a big

224
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: believer of them overall.

225
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 2: Like I am right, and last Thursday a week ago,

226
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 2: when you and Kevin met each other for the first time,

227
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 2: that was the highlight of the entire day because the

228
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 2: football team lost that night and we get back super early,

229
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 2: and now we got the Lions this weekend. So thanks

230
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 2: for that time. It was great listening to you guys.

231
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 2: Chat Ris, No, it was awesome.

232
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: I appreciate the intro. You know, Kevi and I have

233
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: a lot of respect for each other and plan to

234
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: get together and talk more more about this crazy business

235
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: life we've chosen.

236
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 2: When when you mentioned you'd like go Bear and McDaniels

237
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 2: to do a better job with point of attack defense

238
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 2: and screen navigation, All right, what are you looking for

239
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: and did you see it last night, because like after

240
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 2: you said it, I was looking for it closely and

241
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 2: McDaniels in the first quarter looked like he executed a

242
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 2: ten out of ten.

243
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: Right. Oh, absolutely, yeah, those guys really stepped up, responded

244
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: last night. I thought they they looked a lot like

245
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: we need them to look like they're when they're playing

246
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: at the top of their games defensively, no doubt about it.

247
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: You know, I listened. We have a lot of guys

248
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: who can play defense, and right now we need more

249
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: of them to get back to leaning into that side

250
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: of the floor. And it starts with your best defense.

251
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: There's just like anything else, like if you want to

252
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna win a you want to win

253
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: to win a win a big baseball game. You know,

254
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: your your your pitcher and your catcher, your battery has

255
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: got to be good. Now football is your quarterback and

256
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: your top receiver. But they gotta be good. They gotta

257
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: they gotta be on the same page, and they gotta

258
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: have chemistry and uh, you know our Jaden is our

259
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: best point of attack defender. And you know Rudy of

260
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: course is uh is outstanding at the rim when he's active.

261
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: And you know, we we've been inconsistent in those areas,

262
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: not just those guys, but but everybody. But they need

263
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: to be the tone setters.

264
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 2: Chris Finch Weekly nine to Noon, courtesy of Second Harvest Heartland.

265
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 2: What Anthony Edwards, what what are some things you see

266
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 2: differently with your squad when Edwards doesn't play. And I

267
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 2: and I mean both good and things you would prefer

268
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 2: to improve.

269
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I think one thing went. You know,

270
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: we we miss a little bit of personality, you know,

271
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: a little bit swagger without Anthony. He's just he's got

272
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: so much of it. He gives us confidence. He infuses

273
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: his teammates with the same type of energy. Uh, you know,

274
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: and I think that's one Uh, you know, we've got

275
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: to find uh, We've got to find a little bit

276
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: more of a personality without him. And we have a

277
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: you know, we have a lot of quiet guys and

278
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: that you know, they're all kind of serious, quiet guys.

279
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: But we got to play with a little bit more

280
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: I think emotion and that that will kind of fuel

281
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: us through some tougher times. I think, you know, we're

282
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: doing a good job right now establishing slow in the offense,

283
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: and you know, it's good to see other guys, you know,

284
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: step up and do the things we know that they

285
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: can do. Like Jayden's right now playing in a great

286
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: offensive rhythm. Uh, we're really finding him. He's he's doing

287
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: an excellent job. You know, Julius is up to his scoring.

288
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: We we know how important he is for us overall,

289
00:16:55,520 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: but we value his playmaking, you know, alongside it Anthony.

290
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: But he's certainly an on demand go to score that

291
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,479
Speaker 1: we can close games with. So you know, when Anthony

292
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: comes back, obviously we gotta we got to find a

293
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: way to keep these dynamics also prominent while you know,

294
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: reintegrating him and getting him back to to you know,

295
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: being our.

296
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 2: Leading light and and the these these basically three Anthony

297
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 2: has missed. Julius is at twenty nine points per game,

298
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 2: and the three game again was good last night he

299
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 2: was and and and he was nine to ten from

300
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 2: the line. But you know, with with with Randall hitting

301
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 2: threes in volume, is there any double edged sword to

302
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 2: that in pulling a high end rebounder consistently that far

303
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: from the basket.

304
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess you could say that a little bit

305
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: of a trade off. You know, he plays on the

306
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: perimeter offensively, Uh, but he's I think the good outweighs

307
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 1: the benefit of the offensive rebound of all the other

308
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: things we need him to do, all the other things

309
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: he can do, right, you know, he's he's twenty nine

310
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: points a game, has been pretty highly efficient, which is,

311
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: which is also something that you know, we love and

312
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: we need. And he's been able to draw fouls too,

313
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: So at that point, I think it's worth the trade

314
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: off we have other guys. I think we can be

315
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: a little bit more active on the offensive glass in

316
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: his place.

317
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that, and and that he he shot almost half

318
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 2: your free throws last night, and and that, you know,

319
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 2: without Edwards, is it fair to say you need to

320
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 2: make sure others outside of Julius stay aggressive and find

321
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 2: some free points at the line.

322
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. I mean that's you know, getting to

323
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: the free throw line is a big part of you know,

324
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: effiicient basketball. And you know, right now, I think there's

325
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: a huge upticking free throws across the league. Like so

326
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 1: if you're not drawing fouls and getting a free throw line, you're,

327
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: you know, you're behind the curve. And that's you know,

328
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: back to your question earlier about analytics, like whether you're

329
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: a believer of it or not, or how much you

330
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: decide to employ with your team, The reality is that

331
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: you know some of it's true. It's just it exists

332
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: and it's always been there and once you know it,

333
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: you can't unknow it. And it's what drives like efficient basketball,

334
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: and if eighty five to ninety percent of the league

335
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: is playing that way and getting up a high volume

336
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,719
Speaker 1: of freeze and drawing fouls and playing fast and all

337
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: the things that analytics tell us that we should do.

338
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: If you're not doing those to some level, you're really

339
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: putting yourself behind the curve. It's really hard to play

340
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: catchup all the time. So if you're getting out shot

341
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: from the free throw line, which is an adage that

342
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: you and I were taught growing up, Hey, you got

343
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: to take you got to make more free throws than

344
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: than your opponent's take. That was what we were taught

345
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 1: back in the nineteen seventies playing basketball. It's it's just

346
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: another way to say the same thing, like, you're just

347
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 1: going to struggle if teams are out shooting you from

348
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: the free throw line every single night.

349
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 2: A couple on Dilly to close here, Rob Dillingham got

350
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 2: some run last night. Seems the seems the pick and

351
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 2: roll game with Dillingham and Rudy, it seems it has

352
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 2: some promise.

353
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: What did you say, Absolutely, Yeah, he's a good, good

354
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,239
Speaker 1: Rudy partner and pick and roll. I think you can

355
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 1: find him on the late lob. You know, he's pretty shifty.

356
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: You can get to the paint, create create first teammates

357
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: when you know, I think he can also establish a

358
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: pretty good, pretty good connection with nods out there and

359
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: in the pick and roll, pick and pop game.

360
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 2: Right, And and you and O'Connell, you know a common

361
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 2: thread here, you're both raising young quarterbacks. JJ McCarthy twenty

362
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 2: two years of age. He'll start this weekend. How how

363
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 2: old's Dillingham twenty one?

364
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: I think he might be twenty yeah.

365
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 2: Twenty yeah, twenty, So you know, and then that's potentially

366
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 2: a future quarterback for you. Now, the other side of

367
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 2: it off what we just said about that pick and

368
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 2: roll Correct me if I'm wrong here, but it seemed

369
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 2: like they into attacking him a tad on defense. Is

370
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 2: that something you have to work around when he plays, Yeah,

371
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 2: no doubt, you have.

372
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 1: To account for it. He's got to continue to fight

373
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: and be better at all the different coverages and ball

374
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 1: contain and figure out a way to be an impactful defender,

375
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: whether it's get steels, get fifty to fifty balls, be

376
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: great in coverage, you know, win the first scribble. Like

377
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,479
Speaker 1: there's certain points on the floor that once you know,

378
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: once they get to get to you know, he just

379
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: he kind of runs out of size and that it

380
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: is what it is. So he's got to be good

381
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: up the floor, win all his battles in the middle

382
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: of the floor, and you know, continue to try to

383
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: improve that side of the floor because he's gonna until

384
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 1: he does, he's going to certainly be a target.

385
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 2: And lastly, next for you at Charlotte Saturday, you get

386
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 2: the Hornet Saturday LaMelo ball kind of a rolling ball

387
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 2: of butcher knives, gets a little wild, but nevertheless he

388
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 2: can do a lot of things well, Miles Bridges, he

389
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 2: can be tough as nails. But this duke, rookie Conk Nipple,

390
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 2: he's going pretty well for them since Brandon Miller heard

391
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 2: his shoulder. What did you think of Canipple into the draft.

392
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: I liked him a lot. You know, he was a

393
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: guy he was pretty highly thought of when the season

394
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,719
Speaker 1: started last year at college, but you know, he got

395
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: he just kind of grew in stature the whole season

396
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 1: and you know, he improved his draft status as a result.

397
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got great size, he can kind of

398
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: do it all. You know, it was overshadowed a little

399
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: bit by his teammate down there in Duke, but I

400
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 1: thought he was just as instrumental to all the success

401
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 1: they had as Cooper Flag was you.

402
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 2: My friend, are fantastic. May God bless you and your

403

Speaker 2: speaking for nine to now, would like to thank a

448
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 2: lady named Emilyker, who writes about the vikings for the

00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 2: Star Tribune a startribune dot com, because after waiting and

450
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 2: waiting for clarity on Josh Oliver, finally right in front

451
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 2: of a finish line, we got a Josh Oliver question

452
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 2: for the head coach from Emilyker, and the announcer.

453
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 4: Was happy winners Ville sounds better in FM.

455
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 2: of the same.

456
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 4: Question, winners Ville sounds better in FM.

457
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 2: And after hearing the same question about the same thing

458
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 2: asked fifteen different ways over fifteen minutes, all we wanted

459
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 2: to know was Josh Oliver wasn't playing this weekend. It's

460
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 2: all I was curious. I mean, we kind of knew

461
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 2: it was. It was coming down the road.

462
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 4: But Emily Ker, who Winnersville sounds better.

463
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 6: And FM, I do have some KO cuts for you,

464
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,719

Speaker 6: the injury report, hearing him speak with the media yesterday,

466
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 6: we might be back. What do you mean, Damn, it's

467
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 6: Kinkle style. Then Kinkle style. That's all I got on

468
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 6: that Van Ginkle here he is talking about of course,

469
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 6: said there's a nerve, there's a potential nerve bit in

470
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 6: the neck. You got gink sound that was exacerbated by

471
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 6: a concussion.

Speaker 2: Damn, thanks fam Yeah gets Saberis.

00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 2: Yeah?

475
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 7: You know that also reaggravated the back, and you know

476
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 7: it's just a it's been a long process and you

477
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 7: know I've been kid or with how I've been able

478
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 7: to handle this and going through the motions of you know,

479
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 7: progressing well so I can get back on the field

480
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 7: and you know, help this team win.

481
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 2: Has it been betted out whether Andrew Van Ginkle and

482
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 2: great job at the Van Ginkell sound. Has it been

483
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 2: betted out whether Van Ginkell actually has been able to

484
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 2: play for the last month, but they just have held

485
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 2: him back purposely so they could see more from Eric Wilson.

486
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 2: I always love that one.

487
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 6: Anyway, go ahead, well, I mean, in this case it

488
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 6: would be to see more from Dallas Turner. Oh good, yeah,

489
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 6: thank you to get more out of thank you last

490
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 6: year's first round pick three two. Has it been vetted

491
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 6: out that Van Ginkel actually could play a month ago,

492
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 6: but they really wanted to see more out of Tyler Batti.

493
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 2: Thank you. Thanks for the correction and the covenant correction

494
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 2: clean up. Can't wait. I know it's JJ season. Can't

495
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 2: wait to see number forty three back on the field.

496
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 6: Somebody on X by the way, and I hate not

497
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 6: being able to attribute them specifically. It was like a

498
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 6: Viking's fan page of some sort, somebody that loves the

499
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 6: team and posts about him all the time. I think

500
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 6: they've found the specific play where Van Ginkel he launches

501
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 6: like aunt trying to get his hand up on a

502
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 6: Caleb Williams pass, kind of gets undercut by by an

503
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 6: o Lineman I believe, and he flips completely on his head.

504
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 6: Oh the Van Giggle vertical.

505
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 2: Well you think that's on the tweet machine. It's somewhere

506
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 2: on the somewhere on the post machine. Oh, here it is.

507
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 2: And he he just lands flat on his head.

508
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 4: Ooh.

509
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 2: DeAndre Swift though, and so so swift that undercut him.

510
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, but in the end he's back, and it

511
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 6: sounds like he feels like his body is in a

512
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 6: good spot to play this weekend. So that is something

513
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 6: to celebrate as we get closer, doubt healthier. Uh to

514
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 6: the ko cuts, I got four of them. I'm going

515
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 6: to start. You know, you're talking about Emilyker and getting

516
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 6: an update on Josh Oliver. I was just hoping somebody

517
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 6: eventually would ask a question that wasn't about Carson, but

518
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 6: had to had to had to handle head to unload

519
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 6: the notebook on Carson Wentz. Yesterday I found this audio.

520
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 6: This is this is part of where my head was

521
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 6: at into Thursday night, after Thursday night and early on,

522
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,479
Speaker 6: just thinking about seeing Carson Wentz out there. The idea

523
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 6: that me as a Roob and the team, maybe we

524
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,479
Speaker 6: have different versions of what out of reach looks like

525
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 6: in a football game.

526
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 5: Kind of out of reach, but the way we operate

527
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 5: where we believe we're out of reach might be a

528
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 5: little different than how folks watching the game might believe

529
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 5: it to be. And you know, we've had some games where,

530
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 5: thank goodness, we had that mindset because we found a

531
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 5: way to win some of those. And that's just the

532
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 5: belief that the guys have, and when you got a

533
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 5: guy like that that's committed to play through something as

534
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 5: long as the medical staff doesn't give me any new

535
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 5: information to that, you know, that's kind of how that

536
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 5: took place.

537
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 6: I thought they were out of reach when I saw

538
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 6: that third and two and they were down fourteen to three,

539
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 6: And I believe it was an incomplete pass that was

540
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 6: bad at by a defender and Carson Wentz tried to

541
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 6: bat it down but he couldn't move his left arm,

542
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 6: and there was a lot of grimacing, and but the

543
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 6: team did not think they were out of reach. And

544
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 6: as a matter of fact, you get the pick, and

545
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 6: it took like it felt like it took half a

546
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 6: game to to traverse a twenty six yard drive to

547
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 6: get that touchdown in the third quarter, but again they

548
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 6: were it was a two score game. With that said,

549
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 6: I think another part of the battle in this entire

550
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 6: conversation that I am incredibly excited about to move on from,

551
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 6: is the pain on his face.

552
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 2: I'm watching it on TV.

553
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 6: You're up on the radio booth from like a mile

554
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,479
Speaker 6: away from the game action. So I don't know how

555
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 6: much of the TV copy you saw, Nate, but those

556
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 6: of us watching on the boob Tube.

557
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 2: We saw the pain in his face. He was asked

558
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 2: about it, you know.

559
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 5: I mean that's you know, I know the TV copies,

560
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 5: especially in those games where there's they see everything. You know,

561
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 5: you're you're trying to you know, you're trying to see

562
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 5: it as much as you can, and then really it

563
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 5: comes down to the dialogue with the player and you know,

564
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 5: after the medical staff's had a chance to check in

565
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 5: with him as well. So as visible as it is

566
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 5: to everybody, I understand that. But no, you don't always

567
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 5: get the you know, sometimes you do, sometimes you don't.

568
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 5: Sometimes you know, there might be conversation with the official

569
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 5: going on, There might be conversation with the Special Teams unit,

570
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 5: you know, regarding the punt, possible fakes, things like that.

571
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,239
Speaker 5: That things come up where you just can't be in

572
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 5: pure observation mode, especially the way that my role here

573
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 5: is as the head coach and the play caller and

574
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 5: having direct dialogue with Flow and Matt Daniels as well.

575
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 2: So I'd love to be.

576
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 5: Able to say that I see it all. That's where

577
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 5: you fall back on, you know, the great staff that

578
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 5: we do have, and you try to make the best

579
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 5: decision with all the information that you do have, with

580
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 5: the most important information being especially with a veteran player

581
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 5: who's been through, you know, quite a few things in

582
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 5: his career and has a total understanding of exactly, you know,

583
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 5: where his body's at and the commitment he made play.

584
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 5: You lean into that conversation. You know as much as

585
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 5: you do what the doctors are telling you about.

586
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 2: I believe that that was off a question asked by

587
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 2: the elite old school, best school Kevin Seaffert ESPN dot com,

588
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 2: and and when I was listening to it, I was like, mother,

589
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 2: it's it's that that That's one that I wish I

590
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 2: had asked Tuesday at Twin Cities Orthopedic Performance Center because

591
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 2: the television copy optics of Carson wentz uh clearly were

592
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 2: something O'Connell could not see and and everybody did see.

593
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 2: So then you know, all makeshift doctors get to go

594
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 2: into get to go into a mode where it's like,

595
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 2: you know that this has to happen right now. Then

596
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 2: Carson gets the opportunity to speak, and he's kind of like,

597
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 2: I'm not an idiot. Okay, yeah there was pain, but

598
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 2: I have I have the option to come out of

599
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 2: the game if I think I need to come out

600
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 2: of the game. So that kind of put a bow

601
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 2: on that. But but old school, best school unfurled that

602
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 2: question there, and I was like, mother, wish I had

603
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 2: asked that on Tuesday, Hey.

604
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 6: KO, what did you learn about JJ McCarthy over the

605
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 6: course of those two games in which we got to

606
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 6: see him play and then of course the subsequent weeks.

607
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 6: Now is rehab process and back to practice.

608
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's I think that's it's a great

609
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 5: point starting out first part of your question. I think

610
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 5: what we learned in the Chicago game was, you know,

611
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 5: he was able to overcome you know, and our team

612
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 5: was able to overcome a slower start than what we

613
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 5: hoped for the season. But then you know, going back

614
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 5: and watching that game, and you know, I watched it

615
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 5: with JJ recently, just looking at some of the principles

616
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 5: of how he how he played and when you know,

617
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 5: the moments in the second half where we were able

618
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 5: to think we generated one hundred and seventy yards in

619
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 5: the final seventeen minutes of the game, he had a

620
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 5: ton to do with that just by simply being efficient

621
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 5: with his feet and being accurate. Because of that and

622
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 5: you know, reading progressions and putting the ball in play

623
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 5: and throwing completions, and then we were able to run

624
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 5: the ball as well, and it kind of married all together.

625
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 5: I do think there was, you know, some unique circumstances

626
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 5: with that second game. I've said that before against Atlanta

627
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 5: from his family circumstances of being blessed with a child

628
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,399
Speaker 5: that week and missing some practice time. As a matter

629
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 5: of fact, almost all of it besides that Friday practice, which,

630
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 5: as you guys know, is just not the significant amount

631
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 5: of preparation time that that you're looking for for a

632
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 5: young quarterback to then go out and take that practice

633
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:30,879
Speaker 5: preparation to the game.

634
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,479
Speaker 2: So you hear that there, and what did you learn?

635
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 2: What did you get? Second game?

636
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,919
Speaker 6: There is he looked back man, tough, tough things being

637
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 6: stacked up against the kid, And he was asked, is

638
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 6: there any part of your coach, do you regret playing

639
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 6: him in that second game?

640
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 2: Wasn't able to practice much? New Dad all.

641
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 6: That you can you be in hindsight mode and kind

642
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 6: of regret that.

643
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 5: You know. It's it's one of those things where we

644
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 5: know now that you know the a lot of the

645
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 5: things we're talking about it's you know, we know now

646
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,959
Speaker 5: or after the fact or things like that. I did

647
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,280
Speaker 5: feel like when we got him back here on that Friday,

648
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 5: I did feel like he had a lot of juice

649
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 5: and he had a he had a pretty good day

650
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 5: that day. But that you know, transitioning to every phase

651
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 5: of a game plan for a game plan against a

652
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 5: good defense, and Atlanta's turned out to be a pretty

653
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 5: dark and good one defensively. I don't regret in any

654
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 5: way doing that, because he was also coming off of

655
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 5: you know, I believe he was the NFC Offensive Player

656
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 5: of the Week, and then he was healthy, and it's

657
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 5: hard to take that guy off the field at that

658
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 5: point where we had just you know, six days earlier,

659
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 5: seen him kind of carry the momentum of the end

660
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 5: of that game into the locker room where you know,

661
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 5: it was a pretty significant moment for a young player

662
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 5: in his first start.

663
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 2: In hindsight, can you pick your pa?

664
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 6: He orchestrates those three touchdown drives into the fourth, wins

665
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 6: the game, NFC Offensive Player of the Week. Everyone's picturing

666
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 6: you know, the the the the girl on his face

667
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,399
Speaker 6: after that rushing touchdown. Team wins. Guy's out this week

668
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 6: because he had a kid. Could you picture how that

669
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 6: would have played into Week two against the Falcons, who's defense,

670
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 6: by the way, I think they're second yards. They get

671
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 6: some scoring issues because their offense turns them all over

672
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 6: a little bit. But now that I think, but I

673
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 6: never thought that was an option. I never even considered

674
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 6: it either, But now that I'm thinking about it, it's

675
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 6: like that would have been a disaster. People would have

676
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 6: lost their minds if he had pulled JJ McCarthy for

677
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 6: having a kid and not being able to practice and

678
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 6: therefore not being in the game.

679
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 2: Two things here, One with McCarthy returning this weekend, likewise,

680
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 2: for right tackle Brian O'Neill, I'm just really happy O'Neill's

681
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 2: going to play this week, just to silence those who

682
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 2: may think, you know, he's been completely healthy for a month,

683
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 2: but they just wanted to see what they had in

684
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,919
Speaker 2: Walter Rouse. I always love that one. And secondly, right

685
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 2: around that question you just played, there was a question following,

686
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 2: is there a threshold of pain? Oh? Yeah, a player

687
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 2: can have am I clomping on a bike?

688
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: Bite?

689
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 2: No? No, I don't have the I don't know a

690
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,919
Speaker 2: threshold of pain. Is there a threshold of pain, Kevin,

691
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 2: that a player can have that will cause you despite

692
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 2: it not you know, being that they still can play,

693
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 2: but they're an incredible amount of pain. What's that threshold?

694
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 2: And I felt Kevin left a really, really good because

695
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 2: that was at the end of the WENTZ thirteen minutes

696
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:33,439
Speaker 2: talking about the game six days previous, but three two.

697
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 2: I thought he left a good one liner on the

698
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 2: table there with all due respect, because he said, yes,

699
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 2: there is a threshold. Then he talked for about a

700
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 2: minute to describe the threshold. Yeah, it would have been

701
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 2: elite if he had just broken the ice and been like, yeah,

702
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 2: there's a threshold. It's called amputation. I always love that one.

703
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 2: It would have broken the ice if I had given

704
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 2: Emily a chance to get to get the Josh Oliver

705
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 2: question in about six minutes earlier.

706
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 6: There were a lot of Ivan Drago memes Rocky for

707
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,399
Speaker 6: Style going around X over the weekend after that game.

708
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 6: If he dies, he dies, McCarthy not dying. And as

709
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 6: a matter of fact, he's healthy and he's confident.

710
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 3: Every time we step out there. You know, it's the

711
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 3: work that we put in every single week. It's the

712
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 3: trust in my teammates and coaches and all of that's

713
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 3: been at all time high. You know, it sucks not

714
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 3: being able to get the reps and you know, be

715
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 3: able to continue to progress all the fundamentals and all

716
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 3: the little things. But there was a lot of areas

717
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 3: that you know, I picked up and think I be

718
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 3: benefited from, you know, just watching and observing from the sideline.

719
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 3: So you know, extremely confident and ready to get after it.

720
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 6: A lot of observing. Now we're excited to see execution.

721
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 6: But how is that ankle As we stand here today

722
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 6: ready to go?

723
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 3: I feel like myself again. I feel like I, you know,

724
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 3: have those mobility things that I was concerned about, you

725
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 3: know going into last week, in the prior weeks.

726
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, ready to go.

727
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 6: So in the end, the team is looking more and

728
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 6: more ready to go as Christian dearisov full participant. Now,

729
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 6: I would not be surprised today, p I. I don't know

730
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 6: where a head's at on it. Where after only getting

731
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 6: nine snaps and kind of pulling back the reins a bit,

732
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 6: we might see the continued process of maybe he's a

733
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 6: non participant today and then maybe he's full again on Friday.

734
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,479
Speaker 6: As they continue to stick to their plan with him.

735
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 6: You mentioned right off the top, just what's up with

736
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 6: Josh Oliver. We found out he's likely not going to

737
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,800
Speaker 6: play this week with the foot thing. Jeff Okuda sadly

738
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 6: another concussion situation with him.

739
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:27,800
Speaker 2: CJ.

740
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 6: Hamm with his hand, continues to not practice, but in

741
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:35,439
Speaker 6: the end Grenard was limited. You had Isaiah Rodgers let's

742
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 6: watch this with the shoulder, but Brian O'Neil returning to practice,

743
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,399
Speaker 6: So all in all, the team's getting healthier. PA into

744
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 6: this kiddies game on Sunday.

745
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 2: And it's a noon boom at f M one hundred

746
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 2: point three kfam. The Vikings come in do it three

747
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 2: and four taking on a team with a winning record.

748
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 2: Which teams with losing records can or will beat teams

749
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 2: with winning records? This weekend tom foolery and nonsense is

750
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:06,760
Speaker 2: something only you can expect from US. US being nine

751
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 2: to noon in the National Football League, the question being

752
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 2: which teams with losing records can or will beat teams

753
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 2: with winning records? O fun little baby game crafted by

754
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 2: nine to noon. It's a fun little baby game that

755
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:28,239

761
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:51,920

768
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 2: be fun despite the record and the vibe. The Chan

769
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 2: location rocks, channlocation rocks. But it's on the smaller side.

Speaker 2: No point spreads, all right, No point spreads in case

776
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 2: the perceived adversaries have X ray contact lenses. I always

777
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 2: love that one. Just losers and winners, and there they are.

778
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 2: Minnesota is three and four taking on Detroit five and two.

779
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 2: So these are teams with losing records against teams with

780
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 2: winning records, and can or will the teams with losing

781
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 2: records win win the game outright? Or maybe it's a

782
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 2: big fat no, they got no shot. So the Vikings

783
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 2: would be the first one, three and four, five and

784
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 2: two a prediction. There will be facets of the Vikings

785
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 2: performance that will be what we have come to expect.

786
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 2: Tension is real when you lose to in a row,

787
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 2: and the last one was the worst and in standalone fashion, right,

788
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 2: if JJ keeps them off balance with his running and

789
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 2: a running game and gains confidence early on third down

790
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 2: when it's loud, they're going to fight these kiddies right

791
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 2: to the wire. I believe that will happen. So I

792
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 2: lean they can beat Detroit. Not they will beat Detroit.

793
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 2: I lean they can. Yeah, you got anything.

794
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 6: They need to get pressure up the middle more so

795
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 6: this weekend maybe than any of the previous four losses.

796
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 6: You look at the ability of a jailing hurts. You

797
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 6: look at Justin Herbert Rogers, good example of a statue.

798
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 6: But this weekend a hard graven Allen game where you

799
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,839
Speaker 6: can push an immobile Jared Goff to the outside, get

800
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 6: him out of rhythm, get him off his spot. The

801
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 6: Vikings certainly can beat the Lions. That's where I'm at. Yeah,

802
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 6: we're in unison.

803
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 2: The Cincinnati Bengals three and five, Chicago's four and three.

804
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 2: This game's at Cincinnati. Games at Cincinnati, right, Cincinci at Cincy. Yeah,

805
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna I'm just gonna lay this out here.

806
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 2: If you got anything novel to add to it, or

807
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:40,399
Speaker 2: a disagreement by all means, jump in. It's it's not

808
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 2: can Cincinnati win. Cincinnati will win three and five, Bengals

809
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 2: will beat the Chicago Bears, making them four and four.

810
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,399
Speaker 2: You agree, I agree with you. They will win the game.

811
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 2: Tennessee is one in seven and is hosting the five

812
00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 2: and three LA Chargers. Now, I believe Apple Valley Heights

813
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 2: cols Trey Pipkins, who was active last game but didn't play,

814
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 2: he'll play this game, bookending Joe Alt since he's won

815
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:11,240
Speaker 2: and seven. I mean Tennessee's one and seven. This ain't happening.

816
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 2: Tennessee won't win, and I don't think Tennessee can win.

817
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 2: The La Chargers got some three dollars, got some three

818
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 2: dollars bill to them. Okay, so just be careful for

819
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 2: those of you foolish enough to lay that money line.

820
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 2: Atlanta's three and four at six and two New England,

821
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 2: Atlanta losers three and four, six and two, New England.

822
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 2: What do you think there is?

823
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 6: If Pennix is playing this week, they can beat the

824
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 6: New England. They can beat the New England Patriots mentioned

825
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 6: the last segment. I think their defense their first or

826
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 6: second in the NFL in yards allowed, again mitigating turnovers

827
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 6: and bad mistakes. But Beijon can get off against that team.

828
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 6: I know everyone's louting Drake May and they should. And

829
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 6: Rabel's team is strong man and they've won five in

830
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 6: a row. Totally get it. I think the Falcons absolutely

831
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 6: can beat the Patriots this weekend.

832
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm on the can vibe. I mean, did you do?

833
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 1: Yes?

834
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 2: We can see Atlanta at three and five? All right,

835
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 2: the Falcons Panics are not three and five. Yes, I

836
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 2: can see that. It's New England at seven and two.

837
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:21,439
Speaker 2: I mean, it's six and three just feels like more

838
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 2: of the right through nine for New England than seven

839
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 2: and two. I'm with you. I think Atlanta can win

840
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,879
Speaker 2: Niners five and three at Giants two and six. Now

841
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers are as banged up or more

842
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 2: banged up than the Vikings recently were. We know how

843
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 2: bad it can get here. This is a fat no

844
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 2: for me when it comes to the losers will win

845
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 2: or can win? I think it's a fat no. And

846
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 2: here's why the New York Giants lost a certain and

847
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 2: important vibe in that scataboo bit. I mean, the vibe

848
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 2: just fell off the cliff with this squad when he

849
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 2: got hurt. They were so sad. I actually say the

850
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 2: New York Giants cannot win this game. What about you?

851
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 2: I'm going to say they will win.

852
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 6: And I think what we've seen the Niners losers two

853
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 6: of their last three, is they are as injured, if

854
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 6: not more injured, than the Vikings. And we can say

855
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 6: Shanahan's as good as it gets, and he puts people

856
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,360
Speaker 6: in spots, but how long can you do it? This

857
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 6: is this is a problem really of just gradual attrition

858
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 6: and degradation to a point now where they are really struggling.

859
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,359
Speaker 6: They looked hideous in Houston last week and at this

860
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 6: weekend against the Giants as hurt as the Giants are scataboo.

861
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 2: You mentioned their secondary has been ravaged.

862
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 6: That defensive front is going to harass the bleep out

863
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 6: of the Niners this weekend. And I'm saying that the

864
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 6: Giants will actually stand tall and beat the Niners at home.

865
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:58,839
Speaker 2: As a two and a half point dog crowd love,

866
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:04,280
Speaker 2: and that Houston is three and four, that's the losing

867
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 2: record hosting Denver, which is six and two. I'm I'm

868
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 2: hitting the yes, the underdog will win this game. The loser, well,

869
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 2: I don't even if they're an underdog, but the team

870
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 2: at the losing record point and a half dog will

871
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,359
Speaker 2: win the half favored over the Broncos. Excuse me, yea,

872
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 2: I take the team at the losing record. I see

873
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 2: Denver more six and three than seven and two. Good

874
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 2: win versus San Francisco. Last game for Houston. But Dimiico

875
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 2: beat his former boss. You know that Houston beating the Niners.

876
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,359
Speaker 2: That is, Dimiico beat his former boss. So they were

877
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 2: all wound up for that and everything. So that plays

878
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 2: into it. Believe it or not. I'm it's gonna be

879
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 2: lowercase will for me, not all Caps. But yes, I

880
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,800
Speaker 2: think the losing team will beat the team with a

881
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 2: winning record.

882
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 6: I think it's a fat can. They can beat the Broncos.

883
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 2: I do think.

884
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 6: I think this is gonna be kind of a lower scoring,

885
00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:00,360
Speaker 6: ugly game. I mean that Broncos defense and CJS trout

886
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 6: the ups and downs with what we're seeing really the

887
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 6: last year and a half, I think the Texans can.

888
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 2: Win this game. Las Vegas is two and five hosting Jacksonville,

889
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 2: which is four and three. New Orleans is one and

890
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 2: seven at the five and two LA Rams. We have

891
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 2: some Tyler Shuck related terrorism into this game. From what

892
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:28,360
Speaker 2: I understand, yes we do. This is the Rams will

893
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 2: win this game. New Orleans can't win this game, right, No,

894
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 2: I don't think they can win this game. The I

895
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:36,800
Speaker 2: mean just the defense.

896
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 6: I mean Kyron Williams might have trouble getting around the

897
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 6: park on Sunday, but other than that, I mean the

898
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 6: Saints are.

899
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 2: Disaster losers, winners baby game nine to noon and to finally,

900
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 2: three and five Washington is hosting the five and two

901
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 2: Super Chickens. This is I don't know if Daniels is playing,

902
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,800
Speaker 2: but this is kind of a This is a trickier

903
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,879
Speaker 2: one for me. Do we see Seattle as a six

904
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 2: and two operation or closer to a five and three operation?

905
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 2: Do we think Washington will fall to three and six?

906
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:12,839
Speaker 2: That's kind of the baseline of where I start there

907
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 2: before I look at injuries and stuff like that.

908
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 6: But what you got, Well, Jaden's ready to return. McLaurin

909
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 6: I think is ready to be back out again. Oh wow,

910
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:22,919
Speaker 6: So they just continue to be hurt.

911
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: Man.

912
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 6: I like the fact that Washington is at home. I

913
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 6: can't say will on this one to the same level

914
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 6: of confidence. What Darnold's doing with with Jackson Smith and

915
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 6: Jig was unbelievable. And the defense has been part of

916
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,919
Speaker 6: the problem. I think in some respects, I'm gonna say

917
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 6: they can win.

918
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say the underdog, the team with the losing

919
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 2: record will win. If you tell me Daniels is back,

920
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 2: we got debo under contract, I mean, and that they

921
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 2: just I mean, if you go to three and six

922
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 2: here like likewise, you know eventually for the Minnesota Vikings

923
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 2: or are three and four, I mean, you get to

924
00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 2: three and six here. Holy cow, You're in a lot

925
00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:03,279
Speaker 2: of trouble in the NFC. So I think the desperation

926
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 2: factor is absolutely lopsided. One way question is can they

927
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 2: handle it. I think they do, and I think the

928
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 2: team with the losing record beats the team with the

929
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:19,720
