1 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: Conde hour. 2 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 2: Norden for Pa it's a Friday feast and joining us 3 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 2: now didn't work out yesterday just based on scheduling, but 4 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 2: of course weekly guest from a fantasy pickup joint perspective, 5 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 2: Paul Charchi and at Paul Charchie and Vax in his 6 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 2: nuclear safe bunker in Utah side of some mountain or 7 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 2: special monument, etc. 8 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: Paul Charchie enjoins, Now, how you doing charge. 9 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,840 Speaker 3: At the pickup point? That's going back aways? Nice, nice 10 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 3: memory on that. Well done. 11 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 1: No, I love the pickup joint. 12 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 2: It was cool, little bar ambiance to the whole thing, 13 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,599 Speaker 2: a little innuendo in the mix. It's it's always fun, man, 14 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 2: you know, it was fun last night, and it's it's 15 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 2: tough to maybe it's tough to find parallels, but it 16 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 2: was fun last night watching that Rams Niners game and 17 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 2: seeing a squad that is just a mash unit. Their 18 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 2: three top pass catching options out of the mix, and 19 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 2: you have a quarterback situation that is somewhat murky. Purdy 20 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 2: can he stay on the field. When he's been on 21 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 2: the field, he hasn't been great. But Mac Jones rolls 22 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 2: in there. He's got a bum knee and they still 23 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 2: find a way on the road. It took overtime, and 24 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 2: it took McVeigh taking a big swing there on the 25 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 2: fourth down at the end, but seeing a team overcome 26 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 2: injury via scheme, toughness and coaching, that was that was 27 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 2: pretty cool last night. Not to mention whether it's Kendrick 28 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 2: Bourne or it's Christian McCaffrey. There was definitely some feasting 29 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 2: from a fantasy perspective there too. 30 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 4: Yes, there was and heartening for Viking fans that are 31 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 4: fretting over this offensive line that a team can be 32 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 4: completely depleted at one position and still have backup step 33 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 4: up and play well. And that's what we saw in 34 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 4: last with the wide receiver situation missing George Kittle, Brandon Ayuk, 35 00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 4: Ricky piersoal Juan defense and here's fifth, six, seven string 36 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 4: guys that are that were making plays all night. And 37 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 4: mac Jones was downright Gallon. I gotta wonder if if 38 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 4: you are a Niners fan or you're somebody in the 39 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 4: front office, if you're having some second doubts about that quarter. 40 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 3: Of a billion dollars, Yeah, that you gave to Brock. 41 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,239 Speaker 4: Purty, who's playing really at about the same level that 42 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 4: Mac Jones is playing right now. 43 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 1: Well, I just wonder too. I didn't get a chance. 44 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 1: It just didn't come up with Greenway. 45 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,679 Speaker 2: But it's one of those things like mac Jones probably 46 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 2: never in all Pro, probably never Hall of Fame, et cetera, 47 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 2: et cetera, down that line, right, I mean, whether you 48 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 2: know what's your level of greatness or the trajectory of 49 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 2: a mac Jones. But every time he got hit last night, 50 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 2: one of his own linemen that was probably partially responsible 51 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 2: for it, like mckivitzen company, they. 52 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: Turn around and they're like, is Mac dead? 53 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 2: Like the way they were looked, how does he keep 54 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 2: hitting back up, limping his way into the huddle to 55 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 2: the next play went down? I think at least once 56 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 2: I remember they were in the red zone, he got 57 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 2: sacked maybe on a third down or hit on a 58 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:05,399 Speaker 2: third down. 59 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: And then there may have been one other time if 60 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 1: they had it. 61 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 2: Let's say, OT's not the mix, uh not not an issue? 62 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 2: Times on an issue he has to go back out there. 63 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 2: After what I saw, I think he's like ruptured at 64 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 2: a kidney, Like that's crazy, And I just wonder how 65 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 2: like what that does to an entire team like, yeah, 66 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 2: we know Mac Jones is and Josh Allen, but like, 67 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 2: this guy is giving almost literally it all on the field. 68 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 2: It was kind of It was impressive to see Mac 69 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 2: last night. 70 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 3: It was, and I don't I don't think anybody could 71 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 3: disagree with that. He looked He looked great. 72 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 4: And when you see when your quarterback is battling like 73 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 4: that and you know he's giving body parts on the field, 74 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 4: you know that. I think that rallies everybody to play 75 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 4: their best, and it was. It was a gutsy, gutsy performance. 76 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 4: Sometimes announcers will go overboard on that stuff and try 77 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 4: to create I don't know, drama where there isn't drama 78 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 4: and praise whether it's not deserted boy, it was there, 79 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 4: that was, it was. It was a It was a great, 80 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 4: great game from that probably the best game of Mac Jones' career. 81 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 4: And you know, even if the Rams had picked up 82 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 4: that last fourth and one and they had gone on 83 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 4: to win the game, I still like to think that 84 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 4: we'd be talking about Mac Jones right now and his 85 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 4: incredible performance. 86 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 3: Me Sean McVay, he blew it on that last play call. 87 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 3: That's uh. 88 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford was on fire the most. The easiest way 89 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 4: I think that can pick up it's it's easy to 90 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 4: say it now that it failed, but the easiest way 91 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 4: to pick up that yard and half I think would 92 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 4: have been to spread your wide out four wide and 93 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 4: maybe defense figure out who they're. 94 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 3: Going to cover and you know, go go hit Book 95 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 3: and Ko if you need to. It's yeah, it was. 96 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 4: It was an odd play call when the when the 97 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 4: Niners pass defense was reeling at the end. 98 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 2: What you know, fantasy, I'm just kind of going to 99 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 2: sprinkle it in as we go here, but but just 100 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 2: kind of has me thinking, like my favorite team, the 101 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 2: offensive line, I'm still trying to get to know who 102 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 2: some of these guys are. 103 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: It's it's just been tough and and you see that 104 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: and you know that, but from a. 105 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 2: Fantasy perspective, it's kind of been that way too, where 106 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 2: you know, Poka Nakua probably would go number one in 107 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 2: drafts for the most part. Now, justin Jefferson, people still 108 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 2: hoping that they that they you know, and technically not 109 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 2: buying low six or seven a first round pick, and 110 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 2: you're waiting to see how this QB thing shakes out. 111 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: But the injuries, like I see McLaurin. I don't think 112 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: he's even making the trip this weekend. 113 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 2: Like some big timers, some big timers across the board 114 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 2: are hurt, and then you have guys like AJ Brown 115 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 2: who you bought high on and their quarterback never throws 116 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 2: it to him. So it's just how weird has it 117 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 2: been this fantasy season? Really grinding in and trying to 118 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 2: find the Kendrick Bournes of the world. 119 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, we you know, we usually we spend so much 120 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 4: time talking about how wide receivers are typically the safest positions. 121 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, this year's been tricky. 122 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 4: There's been a lot of dud wide receivers out there, 123 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 4: and maybe none bigger than AJ Brown, who you just reference. 124 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 3: Get this, he said, one good game. 125 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 4: His other three games, he's been Fantasy receiver seventy, Fantasy 126 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 4: receiver ninety seven, and Fantasy receiver one hundred. 127 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 3: He's he's languishing because the Eagles just don't pass. 128 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 4: They're throwing the fewest passes in the league, which is 129 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 4: not that uncommon them for them, but usually AJ Brown 130 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 4: gets fed anyway. Only fifty one percent of his passes 131 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 4: Nordo have been deemed catchable by PFF, so he's getting 132 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 4: some targets, but then they're not quigh quality targets and 133 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 4: he's not able to make a catch. 134 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 3: He's frustrated. There's whispers that. 135 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 4: There's a fractured a fractured personality rift between Jalen Hurts 136 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 4: and AJ Brown and you hope that's not the case. 137 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 3: And to make everything worse, here comes Denver. 138 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 4: They lead the NFL in pass pressure and on the 139 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,679 Speaker 4: back end they've got Patrick sartannem Andley Moss. 140 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 3: This is a it's a brutal matchup. It's very tricky. 141 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 3: He's not for a J. Brown to get right this weekend? 142 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 5: Would it? 143 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 2: Would it be if if you were to pick one 144 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 2: guy like the human guillotine, who is just I mean, 145 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 2: if if you're within ten feet of him, you're getting 146 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 2: your head chopped off? 147 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: Is it AJ Brown? 148 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 5: At this point? 149 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 2: Is has there been anybody that maybe is more underwhelming? 150 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 2: One other guy Ohn, Yeah, one other guy that's close. 151 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 2: AJ Brown has appeared in the top ten most chopped 152 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 2: player list in Gaillotean Leagues three of four weeks, and 153 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 2: so has one other player, Dereck Henry. 154 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: Oh, Derek Well, all those fumbles, Rick Henry, Yeah, the. 155 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 4: Fumble Well you're getting negative too on the fumbles, but 156 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 4: that isn't even the whole story really, I don't think. 157 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,679 Speaker 4: I mean a lot of it with Derrick Henry. Also 158 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 4: is he's just not running very well right now, Derek Henry. 159 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 4: I don't know if you saw this tweet, Dereck Henry, 160 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 4: you want to guess some broken tackles he's got through 161 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 4: four games, Dereck Henry. 162 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: Through four games, I'll say like seven or eight. 163 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 3: He has four. 164 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 4: There are seventy six NFL players with more broken tackles 165 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 4: than Derick Henry is accumulated in four full games. It's 166 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 4: you know, I'm not saying it's a career for Derek Henry, 167 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 4: so I don't want to be that guy. But the 168 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 4: way he has looked so far has has been tentative. 169 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 4: Teams are punching the ball out, He's only running for 170 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 4: a little over three yards per carry. 171 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,719 Speaker 3: I mean it's right now. 172 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 4: You know, this Ravens team that's got a million injuries, 173 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 4: it's all bad for Dereck Henry at the moment. 174 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 2: So do you do you potentially buy back in on 175 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 2: him because of the Lamar situation? Though? 176 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: I mean, does that give you does that give you. 177 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what the end. He hasn't 178 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: been a guy. 179 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 2: That's fumbled or been non productive for long stretches mostly 180 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 2: his entire career. 181 00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: And things are weird with the Ravens as you may, 182 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: But I mean. 183 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 2: Do you potentially buy back in like if we got 184 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 2: some balky Hammy situations with h with with Lamar, then 185 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 2: maybe that lends to leaning on King Henry. 186 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, I just think taking Lamar off the field doesn't 187 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 4: help anybody. Cooper Rush is not a plus for anybody 188 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 4: in that offense, and that includes Derick Henry because now 189 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 4: your defense can really play to stop Henry, make Cooper 190 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 4: Rush beat you throwing to orshot Bateman, and that is 191 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 4: you know, if that's a chance most teams are going 192 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 4: to take. 193 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 3: So I don't I don't think that's going to help here. 194 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 4: And I think if you drafted Derrick Henry, Henry, you 195 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 4: you I you know, you probably have to take your 196 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 4: lumps because his value is a little low right now. 197 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 3: But you know you might want to see what it 198 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 3: will what it would cost to get out of that 199 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 3: if you want to the other part that's that's hurt 200 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 3: Henry a bit. 201 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,439 Speaker 4: Ravens are just losing every game, and so end of 202 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 4: game they're going to Justice Hill in the fourth quarter 203 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 4: because they're they've fallen behind so much they need their 204 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 4: pass catching back in and that's. 205 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 3: Just as Hill. 206 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 6: What uh? 207 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: Mixing fantasy with reality? 208 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 2: Whether it's Dustin Jefferson, Jordan Addison gets his reps back 209 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 2: last week, Jordan Mason not as efficient against the Steelers 210 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 2: as he was against the Bengals. Now this Browns team 211 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 2: comes rolling in. So whether it's fantasy, whether it's reality, 212 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 2: what do we got ahead of us on Sunday morning? Man, 213 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 2: this looks daunting. 214 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 3: First team to two wins. 215 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: Well that's what I was I was joking about two 216 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: years ago. 217 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 2: You remember that Vegas game, man, the three nothing thriller 218 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 2: I do in the seven h two, And this has 219 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 2: the vibe sadly, injuries and everything included to be one 220 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 2: of those types of games. I really hope it isn't, 221 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 2: and I'm trying to change my face on it. It's 222 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 2: just this one's going to be a grinder, man, It 223 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 2: is going. 224 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 3: To be a grinder big time. 225 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 4: Let me, I'm nervous about the center position, especially, Allow 226 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 4: me to take you back Nordo two week seventeen twenty 227 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 4: two against Green Bay. 228 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: Do you happen to remember that game week seventeen? Okay, 229 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: so it's it's at Lambeau and yep. 230 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 5: Let me see. 231 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: I don't remember the particulars of that game, all. 232 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 4: Right, Unfortunately I do. Vikings around their backup center, Austin Schlatman. 233 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 3: You'll remember how slopmanoman, Yeah, I pronounce his name. 234 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: It was I believe it was a Schlopman. 235 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, a Slopman. 236 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 4: Austin Schlopman already the backup it's right at the beginning 237 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 4: of the game. 238 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 3: He gets hurt. 239 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 4: Now we're on third string guy who's never played center, 240 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 4: Chris Reid, and we end up having three fumbled snaps 241 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 4: between him and Kirk Cousins, and it's never a game. 242 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 4: The Vikings offense can never get anything going because they 243 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 4: can't they can barely execute a snap. 244 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 3: Final score was forty one. 245 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 4: To seventeen, and most of the vikings seventeen points came 246 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 4: in garbage time at. 247 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 3: The very end of the fourth quarter. So I'm a 248 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 3: little bit nervous. 249 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 4: Now, No, Ryan Kelly, your backup centers out and now 250 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 4: we're going to be starting somebody. TVD probably Blake Brandell, 251 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 4: who has never started. 252 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:17,959 Speaker 3: A game at center correct, correct, Yes, yes, that's that 253 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 3: to me. 254 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 4: Is a is a is a significant level. That is 255 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 4: a bowel loosening level of existential dread right. 256 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 3: There, Mary, what do you think? 257 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 2: Well, you just hit me because earlier in the earlier 258 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 2: in the show, I brought it up with with Greenway 259 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 2: in particular because that was his finals year twenty sixteen 260 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 2: where Teddy goes down, Bradford comes in, you start five 261 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 2: to zero, and the O line injuries from khalil Uh. 262 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 2: We brought in Jake Long he tears his achilles at FedEx. 263 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 2: We had Joe Berger and Zach keran Rashad Hill. I mean, 264 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 2: the list of O linemen was just it was a 265 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 2: mile long. But now I'm remembering in that Packers game though. 266 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 2: That was the game where Darnell Savage had to pick 267 00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 2: six and Brian O'Neil tore his achilles at Lambeau trying 268 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 2: to run back to catch Darnell Savage. And now now 269 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 2: you got me. My head is completely spinning with the 270 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 2: old line ls with an extra ll in it. Yes, 271 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 2: it gives me pausing. And Joe Hubert himself, I think 272 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 2: he started like twenty ish games at over this final 273 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 2: two years in college at guard Hubert in the mixed school. 274 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 2: People are still trying to sell me that that justin 275 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 2: school looked better on the right side in the second 276 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 2: half against the Packers after O'Neill went down again than 277 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 2: he did on the left side the first two games. 278 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 2: And yeah, this defensive front, and but I'm just curious 279 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 2: does it help it all? That is something we brought 280 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 2: up a few times this week, the idea that instead 281 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 2: of losing Kelly and O'Neill midstream, there is it's somewhat 282 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 2: of a silver line and if you can find one, 283 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,319 Speaker 2: the idea that you've gotten a ton of reps this 284 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 2: week with this particular group, and really now it's on 285 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 2: it's on Ko to to find a way to make 286 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 2: that work, whether it's it's handcuffing in an Oliver or 287 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 2: a Hawkinson to a tackle, whichever side Miles Garrett's on, 288 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 2: and really just trying to find some hope in or 289 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 2: prayer efficiency in the run game. Like again, yes the 290 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 2: fear in the trepidation is there, but you're just kind 291 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,839 Speaker 2: of hoping again trying to beat Pollyanna on it. Just 292 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 2: the idea that working with the same group all week 293 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 2: might lend to some execution on Sundays. It's scary, though, 294 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 2: Man's it's an awful situation healthwise. 295 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 4: So did you share any of my second guessing that 296 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 4: Quasi did not make a move for Cam Robinson. All 297 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 4: it cost was flipping a sixth rounder into a seventh 298 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 4: rounder to get Cam Robinson. And not that Cam Robinson 299 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 4: is very. 300 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 3: Good, because he is just a guy at backle but that. 301 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 4: Could have been a depth move for somebody who already 302 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 4: knows your offense and would have cost us a sixth 303 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 4: to a. 304 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 3: Seventh or maybe or maybe would have to gone to 305 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 3: fifth to a sixth. 306 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 4: But I mean the price was so low and you 307 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 4: could have had utility tackle that could have helped you 308 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 4: in a time like this. 309 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 3: And I when I saw the trade go down, it 310 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 3: was like, man, couldn't we have done that? What do 311 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 3: you think? Was that a missed opportunity? 312 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: It potentially is. 313 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 2: I've just been I mean the way that this thing 314 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 2: was talked about. So you invest the cash you do 315 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 2: into Ryan Kelly, and sadly, with the concussions and such, 316 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 2: I mean, he might have bigger issues to worry about. 317 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: Long term than short term health. Will Fries returning from injury. 318 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 2: A year, you know, he was out I think maybe 319 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 2: hurt week five, missed the rest of the season. You 320 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 2: spend a ton of cash on him to come in, 321 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 2: and I was kind of sold a little bit higher, 322 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 2: maybe I feel like on Justin's school and what he 323 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 2: might look like as that depth move that you're talking about. Now, 324 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 2: Cam Robinson was available because Cam Robinson has been nothing 325 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 2: short of dreadful and therefore we might even see him 326 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 2: this weekend against the Browns, although that's still kind of 327 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 2: up in the air. They have their own O line 328 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 2: issues to worry about, so maybe we see Cam. Maybe 329 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 2: we don't not necessarily mad about it per se. But 330 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 2: but now in hindsight, from from my standpoint personally, yes, 331 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 2: it was not something that I like. Man, maybe we 332 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 2: go and get a Cam Robinson. Uh, as much as 333 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 2: we've really in some ways been underwhelmed by the guys 334 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 2: that we invested a ton in in this offseason, and 335 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 2: we're kind of bearing out the fruit of Okay, so 336 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 2: measured spending spree by the general manager, we're getting a 337 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 2: bunch of guys maybe at a value, right Jonathan Allen 338 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 2: coming off of injury. Javon Hargrave coming off injury. We 339 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 2: talked about, I mean, Ryan Kelly and Fries both injury 340 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 2: laid in a year ago, and you get a little 341 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 2: value on them. But the optimism is is that they'll 342 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 2: bounce back their veterans, they'll stay healthy. And now we're 343 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 2: now we're kind of eating that a little bit. And uh, 344 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 2: it's it's it's an awful situation. And you'd hope that 345 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 2: that there's a plan in terms of maybe adding a 346 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 2: body to the mix and uh, or at least if 347 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 2: is it just getting into the bye week alive and 348 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 2: and praying that one of these guys come uphealthy and 349 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 2: that Fries figures it out that this and and they 350 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 2: have more money than they have in the last couple 351 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 2: of years as well from a flexibility standpoint under and 352 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 2: and so that's definitely not an issue. It's it's it's 353 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 2: an awful situation for for the GM right now to 354 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 2: figure out probably an unexpected position. They didn't see themselves 355 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 2: watching everybody fall like Domino's like this, but but yeah, 356 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 2: the time to act is now. And uh and yeah, 357 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 2: maybe maybe in hindsight, I guess, Yeah, Cam Robinson coming 358 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 2: back knowing the offense, and and it feels like on 359 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,199 Speaker 2: the surface, I think he, you know, man v man 360 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 2: probably maybe a better option than uh than justin school. 361 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,239 Speaker 2: I don't know what his experience is on the right 362 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 2: side of the line, but all the same, Well, I 363 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 2: just looked. 364 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 3: I just looked at Campton's basically never played the right side. 365 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: So I think that's that is. 366 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 5: So that's it. 367 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 4: That's significant, and that's something I should have factored in 368 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 4: before I started blabbing that he you know, he would 369 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 4: not necessarily be he'd be playing his first app on 370 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 4: the right side line. He's always been left side, and 371 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 4: he's always been left tackle. And that's the one spot 372 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 4: where we don't think we need the Vikings do not 373 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 4: need necessarily need help. Right now, let me ask you this, 374 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 4: speaking we're talking about this offensive line. Last week, TJ 375 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 4: Hockinson blocked twice as often as he had in the 376 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 4: previous three weeks, in part because presumably offensive line. 377 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 3: Do you think he's going to be spending this game 378 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 3: at the line of scrimmage trying to help handle Miles Garrett. 379 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 2: Well, he's not spending time catching balls out in pass routes. 380 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: Why not just block. 381 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 2: I mean, there was a moment and I love TJ. 382 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 2: I root for TJ. Vikings ended up I think kicking 383 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 2: a field goal in this spot, but they're nearing the 384 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 2: red zone, and in fairness, Carson kind of throws it 385 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 2: against the grain of where TJ's going towards the boundary. 386 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 2: We were traveling right to left on our TV screens 387 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 2: kegs and egg style, and TJ just straight up drops 388 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 2: this freaking ball. And it's one of those things where, Okay, 389 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 2: how do you evaluate TJ's production when the kid QB 390 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 2: can get it to him? Because he's taken six sacks 391 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 2: and then Carson comes in, he's under siege against the Steelers, 392 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,959 Speaker 2: and so you know, and and TJ kind of has 393 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 2: been finding his way into the mix offensively a bit, 394 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 2: but overall a complete non factor. And and it was 395 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 2: good to see him blocking, And it was good to 396 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 2: see him finding productivity there because I've just been utterly 397 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 2: disappointed with him as a pass catching option. And so 398 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 2: in a game like this, the way we're talking with 399 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 2: this mash unit Minnesota Moving Company, I absolutely want to 400 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 2: see him on the line blocking. I need Josh Oliver 401 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 2: there too, And and and maybe there's you know, you're 402 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 2: bringing in, You're you're going, you know, maybe unbalanced with 403 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 2: an extra fat body in there, another old ligneman. You're 404 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 2: you're doing something to keep Carson Wentz alive over the 405 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 2: course of sixty minutes in this game. 406 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 4: You know, I'm with you, And I wonder how much 407 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 4: Hopkinson will end up seeing versus Josh Oliver And if 408 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 4: this really. 409 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 3: Just turns into this turns into game with your tight ends, are. 410 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 4: They just they have to they have to stay in line. Yeah, 411 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 4: got to stay blocking. And I think I think that 412 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 4: I think that makes some sense. And even with that, 413 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 4: I think the right answer here is quick first read 414 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 4: passing from from Carson Wentz. Let's let's not spend a 415 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 4: lot of time hoping that this offensive line can keep 416 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 4: it together against a very good defense. 417 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: Uh. 418 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 4: I think this is first reread I can read out, 419 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 4: you know, two and a half seconds. 420 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 1: Max. 421 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 4: Let's I'll take short stuff and just try to pick 422 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 4: apart the the Browns second level and see what you 423 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 4: can do with Just get the ball into to JJ's hands, 424 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 4: get the ball to Addison. Let's see what happens and 425 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 4: if they can be make amend miss and go go 426 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 4: make a big play. 427 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 3: That's that to me, is is what I want to 428 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 3: what I want to see from this passing game. 429 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 4: It is just quick rhythm passing and let's not let's 430 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 4: not let's not risk Miles Garrett turning in a turning 431 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 4: into Hall of Fame performers here and we're sent in 432 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 4: a jersey off the canton. 433 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, let the athletes work. I will say this though. 434 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 2: The reason that I feel I still feel very confident 435 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 2: if you can be, I guess in the Vikings winning 436 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 2: this weekend. 437 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 5: Man. 438 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 2: I love Flores against Dylan Gabriel. I mean, I you know, 439 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 2: I've seen highlights of Gabriel in college and such, and 440 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 2: I know they got they got that Judkins cat who's 441 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 2: been very productive, not necessarily always explosive per se, but 442 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 2: you like some of the statistics and the numbers you 443 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 2: can read on lines. I love Flores against this against 444 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 2: this group other than Jerry Judy. I know they got 445 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 2: Harold Fan and Junior. Your guy, wasn't he a bowling 446 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 2: green guy or something? You or Miami Ohio may you 447 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 2: loved Harold Fan and Junior, and so does Deefanski. 448 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 1: They bring him all over the place. 449 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 2: He's h back, he's out and uh he's blocking online, 450 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 2: He's off and running through the slot like they got 451 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 2: him doing everything. 452 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: I just love Flores against this group. 453 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 3: Yeah I do too. I'm not a huge Dylan Gabriel 454 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 3: fan in terms of an NFL arm. He doesn't have. 455 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 3: He doesn't have a big arm. It's a lot of short, 456 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:07,120 Speaker 3: gentle passes. And what what that'll do for Brian Flores 457 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 3: is in addition to he's gonna he's gonna put. 458 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 4: Dylan Gabriel's brain in a blunder in pre snap, He's 459 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 4: gonna give him all kinds of bad reads, which is 460 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 4: going to be great. 461 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 3: I can't wait to see how that plays itself out. 462 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 3: But also because. 463 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 4: Dylan Gabriel doesn't have a big arm, I I believe 464 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 4: that means Brian Flores doesn't have to put as many 465 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 4: defensive assets into deep balls and outside, you know, near 466 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 4: the near sidelines. Because Gabriel is not and should not 467 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 4: be throwing deep outs. That's that is just not that's 468 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 4: not what he can pull off. Those balls are gonna 469 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 4: float and turn into trouble. So knowing Dylan Gabriel is 470 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 4: going to be trying to do first reads avoid a 471 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 4: good Viking pass rush. It's it's gonna be a lot 472 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 4: of dump off stuff, and I I want to see 473 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,640 Speaker 4: Flores be able to take advantage of that. Let's get 474 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 4: let's get our defenders up within five six yards of 475 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 4: line of scrimmage. Let's take away the easy stuff from 476 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 4: Gave for Gabriel and make him have to go through progressions, 477 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 4: force him to make reads. That's it's going to be 478 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 4: a bad spot for Dylan Gabriel. Quinn Shunt Judkins might 479 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 4: touch the ball thirty times in this game. 480 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't that, and that's what it lends to be. 481 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I'm not in Vegas, You're you're 482 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 2: right next door. I mean, maybe you jump down and 483 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 2: you can place a wager on the under the underwhelming 484 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 2: nature of this game, Like it feels like a ten 485 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 2: to six type of game, doesn't it. 486 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 4: Thirty six is the over under of this game. It's 487 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 4: the lowest number of the Vikings have been associated within 488 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 4: twenty years. 489 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 3: And honestly, I. 490 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 4: Don't know how these teams get to thirty six without 491 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 4: a defensive or special team to touchdown because I just don't. 492 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:46,160 Speaker 3: I don't. 493 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 4: I just don't see the offensive productivity coming here from 494 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 4: either team. I mean just everything, backup quarterbacks, great defenses. 495 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 4: I don't know where the points would come from to 496 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 4: even get you to. 497 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 3: A modest thirty six points.

You wouldn't know it just by how 672 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 6: these guys work, how they have kind of committed to 673 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 6: bonding together. 674 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 5: And I do view this in this day and age. 675 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 6: We stay, you know, we have an unbelievable training camp 676 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 6: set up at our home facility. 677 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 5: Our fans are right there. 678 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,239 Speaker 6: We have a wonderful place to stay every night, right 679 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 6: across the street. 680 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 5: So this is a little different. 681 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 6: This does kind of feel like true camp in a 682 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 6: lot of ways, but it happens to be in a 683 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 6: critical point in the season as we head into our 684 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 6: buy after this game, coach. 685 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 3: All the little season and if you went a little swimming. 686 00:32:55,120 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 5: And record right where you initiate, yea. 687 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 3: Out of the teams feel like close any. 688 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 6: Chinese Yeah, you know, I you know, I'm very fortunate 689 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 6: to have some players that kind of look at things 690 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 6: through a similar lenses I do, where you know, adversity 691 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 6: or challenges or obstacles are really just opportunities for growth 692 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 6: from a team standpoint, Where what can that mean to 693 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 6: you when you're able to overcome that some of those 694 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 6: things and find a way to win a game. We're 695 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 6: close to doing an in game last week. We didn't 696 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 6: do enough to get it done. And that would definitely 697 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 6: be the case with our other loss this year as well, 698 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 6: where we were you know, playing playing quite a few 699 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 6: guys in the offensive line and and and trying to 700 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 6: find a path to victory. 701 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 5: We didn't do it in either one of those games. 702 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,959 Speaker 6: We did in our other two, and now we get 703 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 6: the fifth opportunity. But I'm a big believer if you're 704 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 6: you know, if you're if you're looking for obstacles and excuses. 705 00:33:58,560 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 5: You're probably gonna find them. 706 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 6: So why would we take the time and energy to 707 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 6: look And let's just focus on what we need to 708 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 6: focus on in the present. And uh, I think things 709 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,239 Speaker 6: will work out for this team because of the type 710 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 6: of players and coaches we have, and and my confidence 711 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 6: level in the group is as high as it's ever been. Yeah, 712 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 6: I think he's gotten enough time now. It all goes 713 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 6: back to you know, that Thursday practice after JJ's you know, 714 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 6: high ankle spring where where he was able or really 715 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 6: when he had had his baby, and then the week 716 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 6: of preps, so he's really going on now his second 717 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 6: complete full week of preparation going into a start, and 718 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,800 Speaker 6: just all those logs or logged reps are starting to 719 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 6: be where you can have some things to circle back on. 720 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 6: That's not just what you did in Philly or LA 721 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,360 Speaker 6: or Kansas City or India or any any of the 722 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,760 Speaker 6: other spots he's been. It's now, you know, I remember 723 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 6: this rep from a couple thursdays ago. 724 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,359 Speaker 5: I you know, I didn't see this right, and here's why. 725 00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 6: And then the dialogue of with us to him of 726 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,399 Speaker 6: how can we make this fit your eye and fit 727 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 6: your comfort level the absolute best way we can, And 728 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 6: that's how we're going to do it. 729 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:07,799 Speaker 5: And we've got the. 730 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 6: Type of players that can adjust and incorporate those things 731 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 6: at the skill positions and along the offensive line that 732 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 6: helps Carson hopefully just continue to be comfortable. First and foremost, 733 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,319 Speaker 6: it's not going to be comfortable for one snap playing 734 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 6: against this defense on Sunday. We know that one of 735 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,440 Speaker 6: the best in football. But at the same time, if 736 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,440 Speaker 6: the guys in the huddle do their jobs and we 737 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 6: just get simple execution done at a high level, I 738 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,800 Speaker 6: think we're going to compete and have a chance against 739 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:35,279 Speaker 6: these guys. 740 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 5: And that's the way they've prepared and that's very much 741 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 5: what I'm looking forward to see on Sunday. 742 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,880 Speaker 2: That's head coach Kevin O'Connell with the media from earlier 743 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 2: today and you heard it. The laundry list of injuries 744 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 2: is long questionable. 745 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:47,799 Speaker 1: With CJ. 746 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 2: Ham potentially making his way back, still feels like he 747 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 2: has a great chance to play, but the confidence he's 748 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 2: going to put it out there, whether it's what you 749 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,240 Speaker 2: need to say or how he truly feels the ability 750 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 2: to get reps in with the same offen defensive line 751 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 2: group for the totality of the week and just find 752 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,799 Speaker 2: one way or another to keep Carson, as he said, comfortable, 753 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 2: and by comfortable, I'm feeling like upright would be uh 754 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 2: would certainly be one of the eight topics for the 755 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 2: coach in this offense into this weekend. We'll put a 756 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,839 Speaker 2: rap on a final segment around the corner is next 757 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,239 Speaker 2: nine to noon.

Earlier you know, 764 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 2: in some ways am I being doom and gloom in 765 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 2: the trying to predict how this game. 766 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:50,800 Speaker 1: Is going to go?

And we've talked about it 798 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 2: one hundred times. Just yeah, scoring first matters, yes, being 799 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 2: efficient earlier matters, playing with the lead, the ability to 800 00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 2: establish the run, I get it. But just something just 801 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,439 Speaker 2: rabbit out of hat and the trust that I hope 802 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,160 Speaker 2: you have in the head coach to find an answer 803 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 2: where we are not chasing the Browns on Sunday, and 804 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 2: the opportunity that's in front of this team, ragtag offensive 805 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 2: line as it is.

But the 808 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 2: ability to go into the bye week you should beat 809 00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,359 Speaker 2: the Browns. That's how bad this thing is. That's why 810 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:05,560 Speaker 2: the rookie mid rounder is starting. They're offensively impotent at times, 811 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:09,200 Speaker 2: and as defensively strong as they have been. This is 812 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,879 Speaker 2: a team that they should beat Sunday afternoon, London time, 813 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,920 Speaker 2: Sunday morning here a local time, and I think that's 814 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 2: how we need to focus on this.
