1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: Battle Past the lastly battening names.

2
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back to the tenefits Gerald. My favorite team,

Speaker 2: the Minnesota Wild in the nation's capital tonight to take

4
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: on the Capitals and they played by playboys for the

5
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 2: Minnesota Wild. The radio network is Joe O'Donnell and Joe

6
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 2: joins us. Now, how you doing, Joe?

7
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 3: This is my first time set and sail my friends.

8
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 2: Oh, the waters are gonna get rough out here, so

9
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: we're gonna need your help as well as you possible do.

10
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: Is this one of your favorite trips of the year,

11
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: just because you're gonna have your your hometown on the schedule.

12
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good one, you know. And you get

13
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 3: a day in Manhattan there when they play the Rangers.

14
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 3: And but yeah, it's always special to go back to

15
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 3: Philly for a game a night, see some family. My

16
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 3: parents still live in the area, my wife's parents still

17
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 3: there should be a lot of people at the game.

18
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 3: I'm excited to connect with them.

19
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 2: But you're gonna miss uh, you're gonna miss Eagles Vikings

20
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: then because you're gonna be on the road.

21
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: I mean, could you I can't believe when the schedules

22
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 3: came out, I was like you're gonna be kidding me,

23
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 3: Like I'm in Philly and my football teams in Minnesota.

24
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 3: But that's the way it goes sometimes October to April,

25
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 3: I can't plan a lot. It's just deal with the

26
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 3: schedule and and try to make the best of it.

27
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: I will do your favor. I'll make the flight out there,

28
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: and I will I'll do play by play for you

29
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: so you can come home and watch the Vikings Egle,

30
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: So I'll do that for you.

31
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 3: You are such a nice guy.

32
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 4: Where are you?

33
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 2: It seems like, you know, wild fans, we always have

34
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,279
Speaker 2: to have something to panic about, and right now it's

35
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: the lack of five on five scoring is even though

36
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 2: it's just a small four game sample size, but on

37
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: the level of you know, one to ten with ten

38
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 2: me and absolute code code red, where are you on

39
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 2: your five on five scoring void concerns?

40
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 3: I think I'd rather answer that after the game tonight,

41
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 3: I think to me, then my answer to you is

42
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 3: like a little bit more patience there, you know, just

43
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 3: a tiny bit more, and you know, if they go

44
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 3: another game or two with maybe just one total five

45
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 3: on five goal, I think then it becomes more of

46
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 3: a talking point. John Hines is preaching patients with the

47
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 3: early season stuff. He seen enough scoring chances, just sort

48
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: of missed opportunities, not executing great and some of the

49
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 3: five on five, you know, you look at it for Minnesota,

50
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 3: they've had seventy eight even strength shots the last three games,

51
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 3: no goals. And if you get in the analytical stuff,

52
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 3: which I don't tend to do, but their expected goals

53
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 3: the last three games it even strengths is four point

54
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 3: eight and again they haven't scored any on seventy eight shots.

55
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 3: And then on the power play they scored nine times

56
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 3: on thirty three shots. So you know, I think what

57
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 3: they're doing right now powerplay wise, with that excellence and

58
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 3: then the flip flop on the even strength, like some

59
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 3: of the numbers I've been looking at today and yesterday,

60
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: like you know, it's tying this record or breaking this record.

61
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 3: No team has done this in twenty five years. So

62
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 3: it's a little bit of rarefied air that they're in

63
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 3: both good for the power play and not so good

64
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: for the even strength and sort of that disparity there.

65
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 3: But you know, I think if they can get through

66
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 3: tonight with a tough test in DC, the Caps are

67
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 3: the best team five on five goals against in the

68
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 3: early part of the season, so it's sort of like

69
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 3: someone's got to give here, you know.

70
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: Obviously, the power play is isould probably be the a

71
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 2: topic as well, more so than the five on five

72
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: because it's been just absolutely brilliant and what have you

73
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: seen that's different out of this power play? Obviously there's

74
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: a little bit of personnel change with zeb Bulliam running

75
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 2: it up top and Vladimir Terrasinko on it as well.

76
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 2: It does appear to me, though, Joe, that they are

77
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: moving guys around and kind of almost giving like Boldie

78
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 2: and Caprice, so more freedom to kind of do what

79
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 2: they want than maybe we've seen the best. What have

80
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 2: you noticed maybe from an excellent no standpoint, or is

81
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: it just personnel that's been different about the power Play

82
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:56,679
Speaker 2: this year compared to years past.

83
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 3: You're on it, and I'm not just saying this because

84
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 3: I'm on your program, Brandon, but I tend to you

85
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 3: and I seen when I follow your stuff on Twitter,

86
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 3: we shudn't be on the same page a lot of

87
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 3: times about takes about the franchise and what's going on all

88
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 3: to certain players, and you know, it's the motion, and

89
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 3: John Hines has talked about this. It's Boldie and Caprice

90
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 3: offer not stationary players on the power play. They're always moving.

91
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 3: So if they're top of the circle the first ten

92
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 3: seconds of the power play, then they're at the goal line,

93
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 3: then they're at the point like and that puts stress

94
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 3: on the penalty kill. So I agree with you there

95
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 3: and the other thing on BOOLLI him to me and

96
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 3: I didn't see this in the Stanley Cup playoffs in

97
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 3: his brief stint and I didn't see it maybe preseason

98
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 3: game number one. But as he's getting more comfortable, he's

99
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 3: getting more comfortable shooting the pucks from the point on

100
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 3: the power play, and that just makes a world of difference.

101
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 3: Now the penalty kill has to respect the shot right

102
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 3: up top doesn't have to be a bomb. Does it

103
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 3: have to be one hundred miles slapper from Victor Headman

104
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 3: or you know Chara back in the day, or pick

105
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 3: your you know, big shooting defenseman. You just have to

106
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 3: have you know, somebody up there willing to pull the

107
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 3: trigger when the lane's there. So I think it's twofold one.

108
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 3: Zve now is more comfortable with how quickly the shot

109
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 3: Layne closes, he's got great deception up there as well,

110
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 3: but now he's showing a willingness to shoot the puck,

111
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 3: and with Jewelers neck in front and all the chaos

112
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 3: around the blue paint, then the wilder great recovering pucks

113
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 3: on the power play. But I think that shot up

114
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 3: top from Bulliam is a big difference now for the

115
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 3: penalty kill, they've got to respect it. That opens up

116
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 3: the wings the bumper. You know, you can use all

117
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 3: the terms you want as far as the power play,

118
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 3: but they got a lot of skill out there and

119
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 3: they've been capitalizing.

120
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: Other than Buuyam, what if you thought about the rest

121
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 2: of the Blue line, right, I mean Jared Spurgeon, he's

122
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: getting to that age now where you always have to

123
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 2: wonder if his play is going to drop. Jonas Brodein

124
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: you know, missed game one, so he really didn't have

125
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 2: like a training camp to to properly train and get

126
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: warmed up and in brock favor, you know, he has

127
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 2: set the bar so high that even just a few

128
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 2: mistakes and you're going, what's wrong with Brock? Other other

129
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 2: than Buyam, what have you thought about the Blue Liners?

130
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 3: I think there's more there, and I think it'll come

131
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 3: with I think you know your point about Brodein being

132
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 3: out and favor obviously, like you know, we think he's

133
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 3: an all world defenceman, and so some nights where you

134
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 3: just don't see that or maybe missing a breakout pass,

135
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 3: you're going, what's going on there? I think there's more

136
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 3: execution that can come as well. Out of the D

137
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 3: zone for the while, and talking to John Hines like

138
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 3: that's something that you know, just get they want to

139
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 3: be predictable to themselves breaking out the puck coming out

140
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 3: of the zone coverage, but unpredictable to the opponents. That

141
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 3: makes sense, so as Minnesota continues to get more reps

142
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 3: under him, I really think the defense can be a

143
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 3: strong suit, whether it's Surgeon and Middleton playing together, whether

144
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 3: it's Burgeon and Brodeen playing together. I think that's another

145
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 3: thing I really like about the blue line mix is

146
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 3: that they can kind of change up their combos if

147
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,679
Speaker 3: they feel like they need to for a certain matchup,

148
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 3: or if just the pairents not doing as great as

149
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 3: they would hope, or the numbers are bearing out. So

150
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 3: I like the depth there. I like the experience. As

151
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 3: Bulliam gets more comfortable. I think he's just really going

152
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 3: to help that group as a whole, and David Yiricek

153
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 3: go on to Iowa gives him a chance to play

154
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,239
Speaker 3: a lot and hopefully improve, and then if injury hits,

155
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 3: you know, he's ready to jump back in at the

156
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 3: NHL level.

157
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 5: So I love their depth.

158
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 3: I just think, let's again, it's four games in. We

159
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 3: get ten to fifteen games in this thing, and you're

160
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 3: starting to still see some issues, then I would say

161
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 3: maybe a little bit more concerned.

162
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 4: All right, the young guys.

163
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 2: Liam Ogre and he's played all four games, and then

164
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: Hunter Hate and Danilla eyuof of each played a pair

165
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: of games. Of those three, what has stuck out to

166
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 2: you so far?

167
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 3: Early on, I've really ere he just kind of popped

168
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 3: out there. You know. He had a great night in

169
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 3: the faceoff circle in his first game, and then he

170
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 3: was one out of six against Dallas the other night.

171
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 3: But they're a really good faceoff team, so probably not

172
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 3: much of a surprise there. He was credited with three

173
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 3: hits in Dallas the other night. It's the second of

174
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 3: a back to back for him. But again, I think

175
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 3: there's I think you notice his speed, you know the

176
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 3: hockey ops folks i've talked to have lauded his two

177
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 3: way game as intelligence. John Hines said the same thing there,

178
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 3: like he's not going to cheat the game defensively, and

179
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 3: I think that you're off the guy that eventually is

180
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 3: going to find his offensive touch that he gets more comfortable.

181
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 3: Liam Ogrian right now is a little bit of a mystery.

182
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 3: They want him to be a North South player, they

183
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 3: want him to produce more. He didn't have a shot

184
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 3: on goal Tuesday against Dallas. I don't know what to

185
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 3: make of what's going on there. It's almost like it

186
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 3: feels like he's squeezing his stick a little bit, or

187
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 3: he's a hitter that's in a slump and just needs

188
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 3: like an infield single, like if Ogrin had one go

189
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 3: off his his backside, off his skate and found the

190
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 3: back of the net tonight or on this trip. I

191
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 3: just think it'll do wonders for him.

192
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 2: What line combination ultimately until Zucarello gets back, do you

193
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 2: think is most appropriate for that second line, Because they've

194
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,719
Speaker 2: already made some changes there. It seems like the fan

195
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,599
Speaker 2: base is a little annoyed as to some of the

196
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 2: moves that Johansson there and Felino there and and you

197
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 2: know Tarasenko hasn't popped five on five yet. What do

198
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 2: you think is probably ultimately the best combination there until

199
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 2: we get Zucarillo back.

200
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 3: I think it's with Joe Hanssen up there and Eric

201
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 3: sinekat center and Tarasenko on the other wing, just because

202
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 3: of Joe Anson's pace. Look, I know that he's sometimes

203
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 3: in the crosshair wild fans. He's been in my crossairs

204
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 3: personally as well at times like you know, Tuesday night

205
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 3: again no shots on goal, he's in the team finished

206
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 3: with forty, Like he needs to shoot the puck more,

207
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 3: and something that the great Lunani brought up to John

208
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 3: Heines today when we had our little broadcaster meeting, and

209
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 3: John Hines concurred, like they need him to shoot more.

210
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 3: He's impactful with his skating, his entries, but he's got

211
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 3: to shoot more.

212
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 5: He really does.

213
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 3: Eleven goals in back to back years is great, but

214
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 3: we know he can score fifteen or twenty in a

215
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 3: top six role. He just seems to push the pace

216
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 3: on that line and gives him an offensive side. He's

217
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 3: just got to again be willing to shoot the puck

218
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 3: and for Tarasenko. You know, John Hines talked about a

219
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 3: couple of days off they were gonna show him video clips,

220
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 3: some individual stuff. You know, here's some pockets of the

221
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 3: ice where you can be a little bit more of

222
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: a shooting threat, or here's where you can impact some

223
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 3: things in the offensive zone a little bit more. And

224
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 3: I asked John Hines today, I said, how did the

225
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 3: video session?

226
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 5: Was glad he go? And he said it was great.

227
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 3: I mean everything that Heinz said about taras Tenkos that

228
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 3: he plays winning hockey. He doesn't cheat the game defensively,

229
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 3: He's got the two Stanley Cups. Yes he's thirty three.

230
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 3: Yes he hasn't scored yet. He's kind of been a

231
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 3: power play assist merchant so far for the while. But

232
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 3: he's got a great attitude about him. He's a winning

233
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 3: player of his track record. And again I think it's

234
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 3: just a little bit more time needed if he gets

235
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 3: more comfortable, and maybe the video session yesterday I will

236
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 3: help with the coaches and just showing them some of

237
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 3: the shifts and going, hey, these are some areas where

238
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 3: put yourself in this spot. Maybe it'll find the back

239
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 3: of the net.

240
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: Gust haveson getting the start again tonight. He I thought

241
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 2: against Saint Louis and an opener, those one of the

242
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 2: best games I've seen him play. He just looks calm

243
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: and steady the entire time. Returns to home, gives up

244
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 2: six against the Blue Jackets. He gives up three in Dallas,

245
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 2: and you know, kind of not that they were all

246
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 2: on him, but the team got in a hole right

247
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 2: away in Dallas and had that uphill climb. Your thoughts

248
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 2: on gust have sent through three And even though I'm

249
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 2: assuming we'll see a ball set tomorrow.

250
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 3: Night, Yeah, that would be the plan. Valse that gets

251
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 3: to not in Philly, gust tonight is going to need

252
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 3: a big performance. It's this Capital's team. They haven't scored

253
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 3: a lot so far, but they have great depth. They

254
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 3: have obviously Alex Ovechkin. They're a hard nosed team that

255
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 3: goes to the net. They're committed on the four checks.

256
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 3: So if they hem the Wild in, they're gonna need

257
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 3: calm Gustison right, not a lot of rebounds, freezing some

258
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 3: pocks to get some much needed whistles. The first goal

259
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 3: he gave against Dallas the other night, after the Wild

260
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 3: controlled the first few shifts was deflating. Let's call it

261
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 3: what it was. It wasn't a great goal. The two

262
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 3: power play goals you really can't follow them on. And

263
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 3: the Columbus game honestly felt a little wacky to me,

264
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 3: like a bounce off the end board, a shot that

265
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 3: was going ten feet wide that deflected off somebody broken

266
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 3: play late in the second period that Marchenko buried the

267
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 3: for the visiting Blue Jackets. So I'm not pushing the

268
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 3: panic button yet there again, but you know, for for

269
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 3: the while, to have success this year with no Marc

270
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 3: Andre Fleury, it's sort of that insurance policy and net not.

271
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 3: You know, totally sold on.

272
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 5: Vaalstead yet either.

273
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 3: Right, He's just so young in his career. It's up

274
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 3: to Gus to be a Vesna Trophy candidate. And we've

275
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 3: seen good and bad gusts in a few years with Minnesota.

276
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 3: I think will be good tonight. He's had decent numbers

277
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 3: against the Caps in his career. He knows that this

278
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 3: is his game. He doesn't have to worry about tomorrow.

279
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 3: He's had a couple of days off, a good practice

280
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 3: day yesterday, So I think Gus rebounds well tonight. Plays

281
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 3: that calm game back between the pipes there gives a

282
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 3: wild a couple of big safe and I think Minnesota

283
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 3: shouft farewell this season, Joe.

284
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 2: Over the years, I've seen a lot of Alexandrovechkin power

285
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 2: play goals from his office against the Minnesota while and

286
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 2: then I look at his stats so far this year,

287
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 2: and he has yet to score a goal through four games.

288
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 2: The Minnesota sports fan of me already has the teeth

289
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 2: chattering that the Ovechkin breakouts coming tonight on the power play.

290
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 4: I'm a little concerned about it.

291
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 2: I if I had money, if I could sports bet

292
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 2: in Minnesota, I would bet Ovechkin power play goal tonight.

293
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 3: Well, their power plays is one for eleven this year,

294
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 3: so probably also makes you think that they're due. You're right,

295
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 3: he doesn't have one yet this year. He's got eleven

296
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 3: shots and two assists in four games. He has twenty

297
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 3: career goals against the Wild two against Phil Augustuson. But

298
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 3: I went back and look last year he had just

299
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 3: one goal through his first five. I think he came

300
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 3: in game four and he went another one with that one,

301
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 3: and two years ago he didn't score in his first four.

302
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 3: He scored in his fifth game, which would be tonight.

303
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 3: So for whatever reason, the last two years he's kind

304
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 3: of started slow and then picked up the pace. Yeah,

305
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 3: I think numbers wise or trends wise, you'd have to

306
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 3: think at some point he's gonna break out. You know,

307
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 3: the Wild will be focused on him his points per

308
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 3: game and his goals per game in his career against

309
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 3: Minnesota or the best of any abbility he's ever played.

310
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 3: I tend to lean the way you're leaning the it's

311
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 3: only amount of time for him. But you know, if

312
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 3: Minnesota plays its game and Oveskin gets one, you know

313
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 3: the Wild still find a way to win this hockey

314
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 3: game tonight. I think if they kind of get to

315
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 3: get to their game and spend some time in the

316
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 3: offensive zone, that's gonna be the game plan. And they

317
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 3: got to move their feet. You know, they've drove. They've

318
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 3: drawn more power plays than anybody else in the league

319
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 3: so far this season, and the power play has been explosive.

320
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 3: They got to find a way to get to get

321
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 3: to the man advantage tonight against the very disciplined Caps team.

322
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 2: Joe, thanks for your time, I appreciate it, and we'll

323

Speaker 2: versus Eagles. Koc is talking to the meter right now.

342
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 2: I have a feeling we're gonna get some clarity on

343
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 2: the quarterback position.

344
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 7: Status is for the game. The only player that will

345
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 7: be out this week is Andrew Van Ginkel. Everyone else

346
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 7: will either be questionable Tyler Batty and Blake Cashman. More

347
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 7: so procedurally, just with the roster mechanics that will likely

348
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 7: take place over the next twenty four hours or so,

349
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 7: ty Ingram Dawkins, Jurgens, JJ McCarthy, and Brian O'Neill, we'll

350
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 7: all be questionable. Everyone else will go in without a designation.

351
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 7: Carson Wentz will start the football game. I thought he's

352
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 7: had a good week of practice as well as JJ McCarthy.

353
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 7: I just I was really proud of the work he

354
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 7: put in, you know, as he kind of continues to

355
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 7: push through the later stages of this rehab, feel good

356
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 7: about him being available.

357
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 4: But he will be the.

358
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 7: Emergency third quarterback, you know, just to you know, we

359
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 7: went into the last game with two and didn't quite

360
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 7: feel like that was the smartest thing to do, and

361
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 7: feel good about where he'd be at if he had

362
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 7: to play in that third quarterback capacity, So Maxwell back up.

363
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 7: Carson Wentz cannot wait to get the US Bank Stadium,

364
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 7: and our team is so darn excited to get an

365
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 7: opportunity in front of our fans, expecting our great home

366
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 7: environment on Sunday against a really good football team coming in.

367
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 5: And we've been working on a lot of.

368
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 7: Things, continuingly chasing improvement, doing some of the things better

369
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,959
Speaker 7: that we need to, and also continuing to build. You know,

370
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 7: this the picture of what this team looks like as

371
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 7: we're able to get some guys you know, hopefully returning

372
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 7: back here not only this game, but in the very

373
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 7: near future as well.

374
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 8: Fund think you expect Blake and Tyler to both be

375
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 8: good to go then, but they'll just be listed lessionable.

376
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's more procedural than anything until we can get

377
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 7: them onto the roster. I believe we're at fifty one

378
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 7: right now, so we don't need to do anything more

379
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 7: than to put them on the fifty three men roster.

380
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 5: Will Blake Brindell start at center?

381
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 7: Yes, Yeah, excited about where he's at. Jergs is, you know,

382
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,239
Speaker 7: as one of those questionable guys. Want to see how

383
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 7: he feels after today, and then you know we'll be

384
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 7: we'll see as far as what the group of eight

385
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 7: looks like for for the game as we get a

386
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 7: little closer after today. Often come up, but JJ has

387
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 7: the emergency third, you must feel comfortable enough about his

388
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 7: progress that if he's played yeah, I think, you know,

389
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 7: you know, as opposed to maybe having to designate and

390
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 7: list a running back or a receiver if we get

391
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 7: into that situation, I feel comfortable, comfortable enough, you know,

392
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 7: in what would be considered that kind of emergency capacity

393
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 7: to be able to you know, call some I feel

394
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 7: good after watching him practice about some of the things

395
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 7: that give him some problems at this point. But at

396
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 7: the same time, some of the things he feels really

397
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 7: good about from a movement standpoint, you know, whether it's

398
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 7: in the run game or the past games, some of

399
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 7: the things he's feels good about him and I will

400
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 7: go through a lot of those things.

401
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 5: And uh, you know.

402
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 7: He got a ton of reps this week, both with

403
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 7: the you know, the first group and and also with

404
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 7: getting some real good reps, you know, with that look

405
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 7: team of feeling the rush of Gernard and Turner and

406
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 7: Hargrave and Allen and and really working on some things

407
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,959
Speaker 7: that are really starting to come to fruition. So I

408
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 7: was I was proud of the way he attacked the week.

409
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 7: And I know, I'll know he knows He's not quite

410
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 7: all the way there yet he's progressing in a really

411
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 7: good way.

412
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 8: Kevin Prian talked Tuesday about, you know, momentum comes and goes,

413
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 8: and the influencers or tries to influence him from the

414
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 8: sideline as an offensive guy, what do you find is

415
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 8: the best recipe and for you to try and get

416
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 8: momentum back?

417
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think, you know, the when I think back

418
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 7: to the times over over my you know, and our

419
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 7: time here being the head coach, there has been times

420
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 7: and a lot of times it ends up being those

421
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 7: close games late where getting momentum back is going for

422
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 7: that drive to get a touchdown late in the game

423
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 7: last week. But what I'm challenging our guys to do

424
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 7: is just by doing the routine things a little bit

425
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 7: more routinely and what is in that bucket of routine things.

426
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 7: If we can grow that and with consistency amongst more

427
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 7: guys in all three phases, I think we're going to

428
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 7: see momentum be you know, a little bit more attainable

429
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 7: and then hopefully hold the ball and then what we

430
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 7: did so well a year ago, that flow has been

431
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 7: so big and impactful for and his players have been

432
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 7: capturing the momentum when it's been lost by turning the

433
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 7: ball over, getting an opportunity at the ball. Punching out

434
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 7: the ball led the league and you know, interceptions a

435
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 7: year ago like those plays help you even in a

436
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 7: game where momentum can be the ebbs and flows and

437
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 7: it goes back and forth one third down style for them,

438
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 7: and then all of a sudden, do we get the

439
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 7: execution on our punt to not give our defense a

440
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 7: short field? And even if all things happen and we

441
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 7: don't get that execution on the punt, our defense goes

442
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 7: out there and either gets a stop or forces a turnover. Offensively,

443
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 7: we got to do the same. And then they're able

444
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 7: to you know, respond off of that either on the

445
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 7: next one or two drives later and they take the

446
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 7: lead back.

447
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 4: And that's just what NFL games are.

448
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 7: But when you really peel back the layers and look

449
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 7: at it, are you doing the things that could be

450
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 7: considered routine to help keep the momentum in a game,

451
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 7: or are you doing self inflicted things? You know, mental errors,

452
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 7: you know, pre snap penalties. You know, we had some

453
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 7: issues this year with post snap stuff going on. All

454
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 7: of those things are just body blows to the momentum

455
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 7: that you're trying to trying to capture. So I like

456
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 7: that's where I love having flow. And we look at

457
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 7: it very similar and can talk even during games sometimes

458
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 7: about either how he's gonna call it or I'm gonna

459
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 7: call it to try to be either more aggressive or hey,

460
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 7: we've we feel pretty good.

461
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 5: About where we're at.

462
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,959
Speaker 7: Here's how we maintain it and then try to make

463
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 7: sure our players can go execute that plan.

464
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 8: Tempo for you, is that Cinic going faster?

465
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 4: I think that's yeah. Tempo.

466
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 7: You know, tempo has been a has been an equalizer

467
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 7: for us, especially when we've been healthy, you know, when

468
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 7: when we're you know, we've got you know, our eleven

469
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 7: guys on offense that are totally you know, sequenced up,

470
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 7: and then you can just speed up the the pre

471
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 7: snap of the game and and and you know, get

472
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 7: more plays off that way. I think that's a great example, Mark,

473
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 7: And other ways would be, you know, some of the explosives,

474
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 7: you know, I think an explosive on a drive, you

475
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 7: guys can look up the data on it can not

476
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 7: only flip the feel of a game, but it can

477
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 7: it can give you greater odds and chances to to

478
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 7: go put the ball in the end zone when you

479
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 7: get that one, you know, play to Justin Jefferson on

480
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 7: the two minute drive or the stack a couple explosives

481
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 7: on the touch on the touchdown drive where cam Akers

482
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 7: through the wildcat pass like those are you know, those

483
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 7: are momentum plays within a drive that then allows you

484
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 7: to finish it with points heaven.

485
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 9: With Van Ginkel, how would you describe kind of his

486
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 9: recovery from that neck entry at this point of where

487
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 9: you guys feeling comfort wise with him.

488
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was really encouraging that, you know, he started

489
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 7: out the week on Monday kind of on the side

490
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 7: field and then was able to take part in practice

491
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 7: on a limited basis throughout the week, so we wanted

492
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 7: to make sure we got that work in. See how

493
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 7: he felt today. Not quite all the way there yet,

494
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 7: but you know, I do feel like we're heading towards

495
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 7: a time It's going to be a short week next week,

496
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 7: so we'll see how he how he uh, you know,

497
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 7: how he feels early on in that week before we

498
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 7: head to LA. But feel very positive about the progression

499
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 7: we're on now and really having used you know, the

500
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 7: resources to to to find out exactly the path we

501
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 7: want to go and what Andrew feels best with.

502
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 9: We go get outside opinions or what kind when you

503
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 9: say extra resources will kinds of.

504
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's he's he's seen you know, he's seen some

505
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 7: extra We've had some you know, outside of opinions, just

506
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 7: to make sure we have all the information that could

507
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 7: be out there, you know, the residual side of the

508
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 7: neck and and some of the things that he's dealt

509
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 7: with and has really progressed beyond and feels better and better.

510
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 7: We just want to make sure we have all the information,

511
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 7: we're doing right by him, and then most importantly give

512
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 7: him the confidence to attack this thing from a from

513
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 7: a rehab and really just getting days on the practice

514
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 7: field and build up, you know, in a lot of ways,

515
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 7: similar to what Harry went through in training camp. Totally

516
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 7: different injuries, but ultimately the same type of thing. When

517
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 7: you're talking about a guy that's gonna play so many

518
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 7: impactful snaps, how do we start ramp that up?

519
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 9: What have you seen from Max just in the six

520
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 9: weeks or so since camp, And.

521
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 7: I think the biggest thing is just he mentally absorbs

522
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 7: the game plan much beyond just a you know, an

523
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 7: undrafted rookie. He's got a very very high capacity to

524
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 7: not only study, you know, watch tape. But then when

525
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 7: you get in on a Wednesday, you've you know, Max

526
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,959
Speaker 7: has already gone through the list that we sent him

527
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 7: Tuesday night, and he could you know, he has great

528
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 7: questions about some of the stuff he saw on tape.

529
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 7: You know that you may have even not applied to

530
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 7: the principle of the play that you put in, so

531
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 7: things like that from a mental, you know, standpoint, is

532
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 7: pretty pretty impressive. And then I just you know, from

533
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 7: me from the time I saw him throw the ball

534
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 7: for the first time a couple of years ago. He

535
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 7: has an ability to throw the football that fits with

536
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 7: you know, many many of the things we asked quarterbacks

537
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 7: to do in this offense. And he made our team

538
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 7: for a reason. And and you know, we have we

539
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 7: have the confidence to to you know, handle JJ McCarthy's

540
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 7: progression to getting him to where we want to get

541
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 7: to health wise. We have the confidence in Max to

542
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 7: do that and feel good about where Carson's gotten to

543
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 7: as well.

544
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 4: Thank you, all right, koc Presser.

545
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 2: The big news is Carson Wentz will start against his

546
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 2: former team the Eagles. On some Max Brosmer is the backup.

547
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy will be the third emergency quarterback. Some offensive

548
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 2: line news, Donovan Jackson is playing, Blake Brandel will start

549
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 2: at center. Brian O'Neil the right tackle listed as questionable.

550
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 2: The only player listed is out is Andrew van Ginkel.

551
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,199
Speaker 2: I didn't hear anything about Jonathan Garnard, but he's not

552
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 2: listed as out, so I would assume hopefully that's a

553
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 2: good sign encouraging for him. On Sunday, Gophers take on

554
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 2: Nebraska tonight at Huntington Banks Stadium. The sideline analyst for

555
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Gophers radio network Justin guard He joins next

556
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:41,520

Speaker 5: Yeah.

558
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 2: The reason the why they're on cool on Wait tonight

559
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 2: is because the Gopher football team playing a little Friday

560
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 2: night lights versus the number twenty five ranked team in

561
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 2: the nation, that would be the Nebraska Cornhouse. Courson, you

562
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 2: can hear that game tonight right here on the fan.

563
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 2: And we're now joined by the sideline analysts for the

564
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 2: Gophers radio network. Justin Hello, JG.

565
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 5: What's going on? I'll be doing. How's the Fitzgerald running today?

566
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,719
Speaker 2: What's life like a couple hours at the stadium.

567
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 4: Isn't it just the best ever?

568
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 2: Just have like that silence, like the quiet, the anticipation

569
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 2: leading up to the game.

570
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, being one of about I don't know fifteen people

571
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 9: right now in the stadium, just looking around. I'm in

572
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 9: the press box right now. They're doing some maintenance to

573
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 9: the field turf. Looks like the headphones guys are down

574
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,719
Speaker 9: there getting set up, the injury tent's getting set up.

575
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 5: It's perfect. Yeah, it's my favorite.

576
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 2: I mentioned earlier how much I missed the PJ. Fleck

577
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 2: Scott Frost's rivalry now that Matt Ruhle has taken over

578
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 2: in Nebraska, And you know, you obviously will have much

579
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 2: better memories of this than I and can detail this

580
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 2: given you've been around PJ and the Gopher football team.

581
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 2: But it seems like Frost always was trying to take

582
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 2: subtle shots at PJ. And then I love that the

583
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 2: Gophers would just always own Nebraska during that stretch. What

584
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 2: do you remember about that relationship between those two.

585
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 5: That there wasn't much of one? Yeah, you're right, that's

586
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:05,239
Speaker 5: exactly right. I do. Yeah, And the.

587
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 9: Gophers won five in a row against Nebraska, and I

588
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 9: think all of them, well, I guess four of them

589
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 9: were against Frost for sure, and then.

590
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 5: One of them was against Marul a couple of years ago. Yeah,

591
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 5: they didn't like each other.

592
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 9: Scott Frost just kind of rubbed everybody the wrong way,

593
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,199
Speaker 9: and I think that includes people at Nebraska, even though

594
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 9: he was a Heisman Trophy winning national championship type guy,

595
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 9: legend quarterback coming home. I think he rubbed people the

596
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 9: wrong way a little bit there too, But there have

597
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 9: been some epic moments.

598
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 5: And it's also too Tenna.

599
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 9: I think just no matter who's coaching Nebraska, just beating

600
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 9: one of those quote unquote helmet schools, even though they

601
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 9: haven't been a helmet school really since the Scott Frost

602
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,959
Speaker 9: era of the mid to late nineties, beating a place

603
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 9: that just breeds college football like, it mattered to Jerry Kill,

604
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 9: It mattered to Tracy Clays, it certainly matters to PJ. Fleck,

605
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 9: like beating Nebraska at any point because of how much

606
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 9: it matters down there, how much they invest into it,

607
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 9: how everybody's always waiting for Nebraska to be quote unquote back,

608
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 9: kind of like the Indie and a basketball deal. I

609
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 9: think it always adds a little bit to people that

610
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 9: aren't coaching there or that are coaching against them. So

611
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 9: I know PJ and Matt Ruhler are pretty tight. They're

612
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 9: they're much more amicable than Scott Frost was. But yeah,

613
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 9: there was some great moments in that rivalry for sure.

614
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 5: That up the PJ.

615
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 9: Fleck intensity, which is always at like a twelve as

616
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 9: we all know.

617
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 2: Well, maybe they're ascending to becoming a helmet school again

618
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 2: because they're now in the top twenty five. I wanted

619
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 2: to ask you about rules specifically, what are your thoughts

620
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 2: on him as a coach, how he's turned that program around,

621
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 2: and what are your thoughts second part follow up, rumors

622
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 2: depend state any validity to it.

623
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 9: I'm sure that they're looking at him because he's a

624
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,719
Speaker 9: really good coach and he's you know from you know,

625
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 9: he went to school there, he coached there, he was

626
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 9: a GA Glenn Mason just talked about. He was a

627
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 9: graduate assistant on one of the teams that the Gophers

628
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 9: actually beat in the Glenn Mason eras. So it's a

629
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 9: place that's super special to him. He's tight with the

630
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 9: current athletic director, who is his athletic direct at Temple,

631
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 9: so that's going to be a thing until it's not.

632
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 9: And we just saw even Kurt Signetti, the Indiana coach,

633
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 9: get another contract extension yesterday because I'm sure Penn State

634
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 9: was going to be sniffing around him too. So it's

635
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 9: gonna be a thing until it's not. I honestly tend

636
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 9: that would be surprised if he left. I just don't

637
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 9: think he's been in Nebraska long enough, and I think, like,

638
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 9: I just don't think he's that kind of guy that's

639
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 9: just gonna jump, even if it is for his alma mater.

640
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 9: Nothing would surprise me in college football, quite honestly. But

641
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 9: I think he's a great coach. I thought when they

642
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 9: hired him three years ago it was a perfect hire.

643
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 9: He spent time in the NFL with Carolina, obviously, but

644
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 9: to me, he just doesn't feel like an NFL coach.

645
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 9: He is more of the you know, teaching, educating, leading,

646
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 9: inspiring young men type of deal. And not saying that

647
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 9: he's not good on x's and o's, but if you

648
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 9: just like watch the videos that all these teams put

649
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 9: out now, like how he kind of leads the program

650
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 9: is you know, right up my alley.

651
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 5: For sure.

652
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 9: I love how he how he goes about his business,

653
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 9: and so I think he's a great coach. I think

654
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 9: he's going to be in Nebraska for a while. And

655
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 9: I've even said, like, if he isn't the one that

656
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 9: can bring Nebraska not back to where they were in the.

657
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 5: Nineties, because I don't think that's realistic.

658
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 9: But in the college football playoff mix, you know, consistently

659
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 9: top quarter of the Big Ten consistently, that should be

660
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 9: reasonable for them. If he can't do it, I don't

661
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 9: know who can, because they've tried a lot of people.

662
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 5: And I think he's that good.

663
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 4: All right.

664
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 2: Corn Huster's quarterback Dylan Royola, the sophomore. The stats look nice, right,

665
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 2: seventy three percent completion percentage, sixteen touchdown.

666
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 4: Passes to five I iNTS.

667
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 2: Now that being said, he doesn't throw the ball down

668
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 2: field very much, average depth of targets second lowest among

669
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 2: Big Ten quarterbacks, and he takes a lot of sacks.

670
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 2: How do you evaluate I know you're not watching every

671
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 2: Nebraska game, but from what you've seen, how do you

672
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,479
Speaker 2: evaluate Royola and where he's at?

673
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 9: And Yeah, I think you just nailed all the important parts.

674
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 9: You're a great football nind.

675
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 4: Thank you.

676
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 5: That was kind of surprising to me. I have watched

677
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 5: quite a bit of that.

678
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 4: And you didn't even feed me that ahead of time

679
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 4: like we've done in the past.

680
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 5: I did not. Nobody has written out the questions for

681
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 5: you today. You are right now all of your own questions. Yeah,

682
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 5: but yeah, he's so.

683
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 9: Dana Holgerson, a former head coach, is now one of

684
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 9: their offense is their offensive coordinator.

685
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 5: He came in about a year ago. Last year.

686
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 9: You can tell like he knows what Dylan's good at.

687
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 9: He knows that they have really good wide receivers. They've

688
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 9: got four wide receivers Tenna that have twenty catches or more.

689
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 5: The Gophers only have one La.

690
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 9: Mechy Brockington, and they actually have a fifth that has

691
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 9: nineteen receptions.

692
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 5: So it's equal opportunity offense.

693
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 9: Like the ball gets spread around, so what the Gophers

694
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 9: do as well, like they have with Max Brozmer, and

695
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 9: now they're doing that with Drake Lindsay. But these guys

696
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 9: do that at a completely different level. And not only

697
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 9: do they spread it around, but a lot of those

698
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 9: yards you're talking about to answer you know about Rayola

699
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 9: is their short completions and then the receivers do a

700
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 9: lot of the work. They scheme up a lot of

701
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 9: really nice things. They've got four or five guys that

702
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 9: can make you miss an open space. Nebraska's wide receivers

703
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 9: have over one thousand yards after the catch well this season,

704
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 9: So Rayola has sixteen hundred passing yards a thousand of them.

705
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 4: He's a system quarterback, you're saying.

706
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 9: I'm saying, they're definitely he's running their system really really well.

707
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 9: I think he's better than that. I think he's a

708
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 9: five star guy for sure. I mean he was a

709
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 9: five star guy. He was recruited to, you know, Georgia,

710
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 9: he committed all these different places. Now he's here in Lincoln.

711
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 9: He's good, but they're not asking him to do a lot.

712
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 9: You're right, They're asking him to just kind of to

713
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 9: run it now. And that's not a criticism. He's running

714
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 9: it at a really high level. But he also does

715
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 9: get sacked a lot. And that's what I'm interested to

716
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 9: see to night ten. There's a couple of like odd

717
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 9: weakness matchups that I'm going to try to figure out.

718
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 9: You know, whose weakness kind of shores up is going

719
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 9: to be who wins this game? And the Gophers have

720
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 9: not been able to get consistent pressure all season long.

721
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 9: They've been around the quarterback a lot. They were around

722
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 9: the quarterback a lot last week. They couldn't sack Purdue today.

723
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 9: They need to be around Nebraska's quarterback a lot. And

724
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 9: he's getting sacked on basically thirty percent of his dropbacks,

725
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 9: which is a really high number. So something has to

726
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 9: give there. If the Gophers can't get him down a

727
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 9: couple of times tonight, then I think they do really

728
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 9: have pressure issues.

729
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 2: Talking with Justin Guard's sideline analysts for the Gophers, ready,

730
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 2: no work. Gophers versus Nebraska at seven o'clock to night,

731
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 2: pre starts at five o'clock. You mentioned the quarterback and

732
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 2: all the wide receivers. Their running backs seem to be

733
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 2: pretty good too, Emma Johnson. He's second in the Big

734
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 2: Ten in rushing yards and in misstackles forced coming off

735
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 2: a pretty darn good game against Maryland where he ran

736
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 2: for one hundred and seventy seven yards. He's one of us, Justin,

737
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:18,720
Speaker 2: so you know, if he has a big game tonight,

738
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 2: your mentions are going to be crazy on Twitter.

739
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 5: Oh they already have been this week?

740
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:23,959
Speaker 4: Oh have they? Okay?

741
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 5: I have been this week.

742
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 9: Yeah, before the game even starts, because it's an obvious

743
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 9: one and you're simply put you're gonna miss guys like

744
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 9: you're just that's just the way of the world. When

745
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 9: you're recruiting twenty five guys every single year, you're going

746
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 9: to recruit guys or miss guys. I would also say,

747
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 9: I don't think the Gophers have had a ton of

748
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 9: issues recruiting running backs right since Glenn Mason got here,

749
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 9: So yeah, you'd like to have him. Of course, a

750
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 9: late bloomer from Holy Angels, didn't really have anything going

751
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 9: recruiting wise until Nebraska offered him. I think right before

752
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 9: signing day. It was really his first big offer. He

753
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 9: committed then he even had the way to turn here.

754
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 9: He's been in the program for multiple years now. It

755
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 9: actually went into the portal this last offseason, ended up

756
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 9: coming back to Nebraska. Guessing that's the the Coroka priceoff,

757
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 9: you know, quiet holdout. I'm guessing he got a little

758
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 9: bit more money to stay and he's been terrific. He's

759
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 9: been awesome, and he, like you mentioned, he makes guys

760
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 9: miss and that's been another weakness of this go for

761
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 9: defense as they have been missing tackles at an alarming

762
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 9: rate in Big ten play against Power four competition if

763
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 9: you want to include Callen there as well. So they

764
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 9: have to find a way to wrap them up. They

765
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 9: have to find a way to bring him down. And

766
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 9: Blake Cashman for the Vikings had a pretty interesting comment

767
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 9: talking about the Vikings run defense this week. I thought

768
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 9: that they're kind of bleeding extra yards where you might

769
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 9: tackle a guy, you know he's gone for three yards,

770
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:42,879
Speaker 9: you tackle him, but then he drags you for three

771
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 9: more instead of a three yard gain at six and

772
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 9: it's second and four instead of second and six, and

773
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 9: all of that stuff adds up. He was talking about

774
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 9: the Vikings, but that's been the case with the Gophers

775
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 9: as well. It was certainly the case last week against

776
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 9: Purdue with their running back Devin Makabe. You'd have him

777
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 9: wrapped up, you know, three, four or five yards into

778
00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 9: the run, and all of a sudden he's dragged you

779
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 9: for another five ever tend So Yeah, Emma, Johnson's been great.

780
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 9: He's finally gotten his opportunity there. It's taken him some

781
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 9: time in Lincoln to get that, but he's making the

782
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 9: most of it.

783
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 2: I'm not sure you're at Hunting to Make stadium. It

784
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 2: kind of sounds like you're at like an all inclusive

785
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,240
Speaker 2: resort in kankun like your pool side right now.

786
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:18,879
Speaker 5: Really jams going back?

787
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 4: Is that what that is?

788
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 7: Oh?

789
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the lear Field music.

790
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 9: That's the unmistakable music that lets you know we're connected.

791
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 4: Got it.

792
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 2: I couldn't really hear exactly what it was in the background.

793
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 2: You mentioned the Gophers and historically they've been pretty good

794
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 2: at finding running backs. It's been weird to see them

795
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 2: not excel at that this year. Right now, they one

796
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 2: hundred and fifteenth nationally in rushing yards per game. What

797
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 2: do you think has been the issue for the running

798
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 2: game for the Gophers this season?

799
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 9: The biggest issue has been the offensive line. And obviously

800
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 9: Darius Taylor missed a handful of games. He's good, he's

801
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 9: their best runner. But even having him back the last

802
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 9: game and change, they haven't run the ball very well.

803
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 9: And it's to me, it's it's upfront and they just

804
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 9: they haven't gelled as well as other PJ. Fleck and

805
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 9: Brian Callahan offensive lines have. They've struggled in short yardage,

806
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 9: basically third and fourth and one or shorter or two

807
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 9: and shorter. They're at like thirty percent, which is worse

808
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 9: than the Big ten, at least it was last week.

809
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,760
Speaker 9: They're just not getting enough pushed. They're not physical enough.

810
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 9: They took some guys in the portal that I don't

811
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 9: think have panned out like they wanted them to. You know,

812
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 9: they've lost one of their starting offensive women in the

813
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 9: portal this last year to go home to Ohio State.

814
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 9: He's playing for the buck guys right now. He's really

815
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 9: good and they just weren't able to replace him at

816
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,720
Speaker 9: that same level. So I know my buddy Ryan Burns,

817
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 9: when he joins me on the pregame about three hours

818
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 9: from now, is going to talk about how he just

819
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 9: wants to see something different. He wants to see different bodies,

820
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,760
Speaker 9: he wants to see different options. They've switched guys along

821
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,919
Speaker 9: the offensive line, but it's been pretty much the same

822
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 9: five all season long, and they just haven't been able

823
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 9: to find the right mix. Tonight would be a night

824
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 9: I mentioned the weakness versus weakness. Nebraska is allowing over

825
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 9: five yards of carry on the ground.

826
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 5: Defensively, they're much better.

827
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 9: They've been much better as a passing defense as opposed

828
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 9: to a rushing defense. So you'd like to think you

829
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,720
Speaker 9: can fix your own issues and use their issues against

830
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,280
Speaker 9: them a little bit, to at least run the ball enough,

831
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 9: because you don't have to run the ball a ton

832
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 9: when you have a quarterback like Drake Lindsay who's playing

833
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,879
Speaker 9: at a really high level. But you're making it really

834
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 9: hard on yourself when you can't run the ball at all,

835
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,280
Speaker 9: and that has been a surprising problem.

836
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 2: You mentioned the passing attack for the Gophers.

837
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 4: Drake Lindsay. You have now seen six games of him.

838
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 2: I think he's been pretty solid from what you've seen

839
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 2: of him through six. Where do you think he's going

840
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 2: to end up in his career trajectory in terms of

841
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 2: let's compare him to like recent quarterbacks, right, like a

842
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 2: Max Brozmur or Tanner Morgan. Where do you think he's

843
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 2: going to end up in comparison to those two.

844
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 9: I mean, I think Tanner would tell you he's going

845
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 9: to exceed what he did here. I mean maybe not

846
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 9: on the field in terms of you know, eleven and

847
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 9: two seasons or anything like that, but just numbers wise statistics.

848
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:52,280
Speaker 5: Why, yeah, I think he's great.

849
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 9: I think he's tremendous, and I think he took the

850
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 9: year with Max Brozmer and made the most out of it.

851
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 9: You hear a lot of people in the program talk

852
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 9: about him like they talked about Max. To answer your question,

853
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 9: I think he'll be the first Gopher quarterback drafted in

854
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 9: like fifty years by the time it's all said and done.

855
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 9: I think Brozemer probably should have I think you can

856
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 9: all agree on that.

857
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:13,280
Speaker 5: It was kind of silly.

858
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 9: I still don't understand how he wasn't quite honestly, if

859
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,720
Speaker 9: you just watch the games and the tape and then

860
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,720
Speaker 9: I can't imagine being in a combined room with Max Brozmer,

861
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 9: just knowing what I know about him and the remedial

862
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 9: football knowledge that I have, how he explains stuff and

863
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 9: goes over things, and not being impressed. So I think

864
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 9: Brozemer should have been drafted.

865
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:31,479
Speaker 5: He wasn't.

866
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 9: He's on the Bikings now, that's the way it goes.

867
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,800
Speaker 9: But I think break will be the first one drafted

868
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 9: in a really long time. I think we're seeing why

869
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 9: they were comfortable handing him the keys to a program.

870
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,919
Speaker 9: I said it all offseason TETA in twenty twenty five.

871
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,439
Speaker 9: You don't have to give your program to a twenty

872
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 9: year old red shirt freshman. If you don't want to,

873
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 9: you can go find somebody in the portal. You can

874
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 9: go pay an experienced guy in upperclassman. You can find

875
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 9: a guy like Max Brosmer to take it for a

876
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 9: year or two and then move on. You don't have

877
00:39:58,120 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 9: to do what they're doing unless you really want to.

878
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 9: They obviously wanted to, and I think we've seen why.

879
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 9: I think he's I think he's really good. I think

880
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 9: he's accurate. I think he's smart. I think he's a leader.

881
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 9: I think he's tough. I think he's a gamer. And

882
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 9: all these experiences going through right now, I think are

883
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 9: only gonna help him moving forward.

884
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 2: By the way, speaking to Max Brosmer, he is the

885
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 2: backup quarterback today on Sunday for the Vikings Eagles game.

886
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 2: They're JJ McCarthy is the third emergency quarterback.

887
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 7: You know how.

888
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 2: Minnesota sports works, you know how this is gonna work. Right,

889
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 2: Carson is gonna get hurt Sunday. Brosman's got to come in.

890
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 2: He's gonna be good, and we're gonna have this quarterback

891
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 2: quandary discussion again next week.

892
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 9: I've said it, That's how I've said it. Do not

893
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 9: let Max Brozemer see the field. If you're JJ McCarthy

894
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 9: or Carson Wentz, do not let him see the field.

895
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 9: And I think that's why Carson Wentz sprinted out of

896
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,439
Speaker 9: the tunnel last two weeks ago in London. He knows, Yeah,

897
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 9: he knew, he goes. I don't care if I'm hurt.

898
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 9: I can't let this guy.

899
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:55,439
Speaker 4: I'll never play it again.

900
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 9: I can't let this guy do this to me. I've

901
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 9: been saying it all off season. I said it all

902
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 9: week on our show too. I'll probably say it again

903
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 9: when I joined Dan an hour or so from now.

904
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 9: Don't let him see the field, man, because then you're

905
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 9: gonna you think KOs is grumpy. Now about the quarterback questions,

906
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 9: wait till Brozemer comes.

907
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 2: In, uh thirty seconds left and you get it all.

908
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 2: Can you explain to me PJ flex seventy eight percent metric?

909
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, where are you aware of this?

910
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 5: Oh? Of course absolutely.

911
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 9: If he has three categories that are conducive to winning

912
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 9: explosive plays, the turnover battle and mistackles. If you win

913
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 9: those three categories in any given day, you win the game.

914
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 5: Seventy eight percent of the time. Is his metrics?

915
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 9: So I would have over battle. Yeah, but weird things happen, sure.

916
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 9: I mean it's all sins almost eighty percent. So yeah, mistackles,

917
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 9: you have few of those more explosive plays and you

918
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 9: win the take. Give you win seventy eight percent of

919
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 9: the time. They are absolutely obsessed with that metric inside

920
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 9: the program.

921
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 2: All right, JG, thanks for all, appreciate it anytime.

922
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:02,240
Speaker 4: All right, justin guard.

923
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 2: He is going to be broadcasting from Huntington Banks Stadium

924
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 2: tonight as your Minnesota Golden Gophers are going to take

925
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 2: on the Nebraska Cornhuskers seven o'clock start pregame at five.

926
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,399
Speaker 2: It sounds like he's also going to join Barrero about

927
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 2: an hour from now, so you can get more Gopher

928
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 2: discussion with JG previewing that game about an hour from

929
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,960
